Genesis	Ge	1	1	1	In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	2	And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	3	And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	4	And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	5	And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	6	And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	7	And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	8	And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	9	And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	10	And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	11	And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	12	And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	13	And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	14	And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
Genesis	Ge	1	1	15	And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	16	And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	17	And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
Genesis	Ge	1	1	18	And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	19	And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	20	And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	21	And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	22	And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	23	And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	24	And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	25	And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	26	And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	27	So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	28	And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	29	And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	30	And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Genesis	Ge	1	1	31	And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	1	Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	2	And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	3	And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	4	These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Genesis	Ge	1	2	5	And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	6	But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	7	And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	8	And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	9	And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	10	And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	11	The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Genesis	Ge	1	2	12	And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	13	And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	14	And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	15	And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	16	And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Genesis	Ge	1	2	17	But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	18	And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	19	And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	20	And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	21	And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
Genesis	Ge	1	2	22	And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	23	And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	24	Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
Genesis	Ge	1	2	25	And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	1	Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis	Ge	1	3	2	And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Genesis	Ge	1	3	3	But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	4	And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Genesis	Ge	1	3	5	For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	6	And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	7	And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	8	And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	9	And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Genesis	Ge	1	3	10	And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	11	And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Genesis	Ge	1	3	12	And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	13	And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	14	And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
Genesis	Ge	1	3	15	And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	16	Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	17	And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Genesis	Ge	1	3	18	Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Genesis	Ge	1	3	19	In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	20	And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	21	Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	22	And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Genesis	Ge	1	3	23	Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Genesis	Ge	1	3	24	So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	1	And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	2	And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	3	And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	4	And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
Genesis	Ge	1	4	5	But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	6	And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
Genesis	Ge	1	4	7	If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	8	And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	9	And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper?
Genesis	Ge	1	4	10	And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	11	And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
Genesis	Ge	1	4	12	When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	13	And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	14	Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	15	And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	16	And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	17	And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	18	And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	19	And Lamech took unto him two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	20	And Adah bare Jabal: he was the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	21	And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	22	And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	23	And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	24	If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	25	And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.
Genesis	Ge	1	4	26	And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	1	This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Genesis	Ge	1	5	2	Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	3	And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	4	And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	5	And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	6	And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	7	And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	8	And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	9	And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	10	And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	11	And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	12	And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	13	And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	14	And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	15	And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	16	And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	17	And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	18	And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	19	And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	20	And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	21	And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	22	And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	23	And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	24	And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	25	And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	26	And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	27	And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	28	And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	29	And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	30	And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:
Genesis	Ge	1	5	31	And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	5	32	And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	1	And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Genesis	Ge	1	6	2	That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	3	And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	4	There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	5	And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	6	And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	7	And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	8	But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	9	These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	10	And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	11	The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	12	And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	13	And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	14	Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	15	And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	16	A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	17	And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	18	But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	19	And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	20	Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	21	And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.
Genesis	Ge	1	6	22	Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	1	And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	2	Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	3	Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	4	For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	5	And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	6	And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	7	And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	8	Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
Genesis	Ge	1	7	9	There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	10	And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	11	In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	12	And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	13	In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Genesis	Ge	1	7	14	They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	15	And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	16	And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	17	And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	18	And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	19	And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	20	Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	21	And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:
Genesis	Ge	1	7	22	All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	23	And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
Genesis	Ge	1	7	24	And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	1	And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
Genesis	Ge	1	8	2	The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained;
Genesis	Ge	1	8	3	And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	4	And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	5	And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	6	And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
Genesis	Ge	1	8	7	And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	8	Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground;
Genesis	Ge	1	8	9	But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	10	And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
Genesis	Ge	1	8	11	And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	12	And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	13	And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	14	And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	15	And God spake unto Noah, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	8	16	Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	17	Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	18	And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
Genesis	Ge	1	8	19	Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	20	And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	21	And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
Genesis	Ge	1	8	22	While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	1	And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	2	And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	3	Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	4	But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	5	And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	6	Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	7	And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	8	And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	9	9	And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
Genesis	Ge	1	9	10	And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	11	And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	12	And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:
Genesis	Ge	1	9	13	I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	14	And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:
Genesis	Ge	1	9	15	And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	16	And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	17	And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	18	And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	19	These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	20	And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard:
Genesis	Ge	1	9	21	And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	22	And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	23	And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	24	And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	25	And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	26	And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	27	God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	28	And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.
Genesis	Ge	1	9	29	And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	1	Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	2	The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	3	And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	4	And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	5	By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	6	And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	7	And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtechah: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	8	And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	9	He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	10	And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	11	Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	12	And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	13	And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	14	And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and Caphtorim.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	15	And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	16	And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	17	And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	18	And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	19	And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	20	These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	21	Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	22	The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	23	And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	24	And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	25	And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	26	And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	27	And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	28	And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
Genesis	Ge	1	10	29	And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	30	And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of the east.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	31	These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	10	32	These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	1	And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	2	And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	3	And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	4	And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	5	And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	6	And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	7	Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	8	So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	9	Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	10	These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	11	And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	12	And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	13	And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	14	And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	15	And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	16	And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	17	And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	18	And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	19	And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	20	And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	21	And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	22	And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	23	And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	24	And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
Genesis	Ge	1	11	25	And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	26	And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	27	Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	28	And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	29	And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	30	But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	31	And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
Genesis	Ge	1	11	32	And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	1	Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Genesis	Ge	1	12	2	And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
Genesis	Ge	1	12	3	And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	4	So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	5	And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	6	And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	7	And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	8	And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	9	And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	10	And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	11	And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
Genesis	Ge	1	12	12	Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	13	Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	14	And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	15	The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	16	And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	17	And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	18	And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
Genesis	Ge	1	12	19	Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
Genesis	Ge	1	12	20	And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	1	And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	2	And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	3	And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
Genesis	Ge	1	13	4	Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	5	And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	6	And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	7	And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	8	And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	9	Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	10	And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	11	Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	12	Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	13	But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	14	And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
Genesis	Ge	1	13	15	For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	16	And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	17	Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	13	18	Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	1	And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations;
Genesis	Ge	1	14	2	That these made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela, which is Zoar.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	3	All these were joined together in the vale of Siddim, which is the salt sea.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	4	Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	5	And in the fourteenth year came Chedorlaomer, and the kings that were with him, and smote the Rephaims in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzims in Ham, and the Emims in Shaveh Kiriathaim,
Genesis	Ge	1	14	6	And the Horites in their mount Seir, unto Elparan, which is by the wilderness.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	7	And they returned, and came to Enmishpat, which is Kadesh, and smote all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that dwelt in Hazezontamar.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	8	And there went out the king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar;) and they joined battle with them in the vale of Siddim;
Genesis	Ge	1	14	9	With Chedorlaomer the king of Elam, and with Tidal king of nations, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings with five.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	10	And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	11	And they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their victuals, and went their way.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	12	And they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	13	And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	14	And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	15	And he divided himself against them, he and his servants, by night, and smote them, and pursued them unto Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	16	And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	17	And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	18	And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	19	And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:
Genesis	Ge	1	14	20	And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	21	And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.
Genesis	Ge	1	14	22	And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth,
Genesis	Ge	1	14	23	That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:
Genesis	Ge	1	14	24	Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	1	After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	2	And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?
Genesis	Ge	1	15	3	And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	4	And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	5	And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	6	And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	7	And he said unto him, I am the LORD that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to inherit it.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	8	And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?
Genesis	Ge	1	15	9	And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	10	And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	11	And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	12	And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	13	And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
Genesis	Ge	1	15	14	And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	15	And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	16	But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	17	And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.
Genesis	Ge	1	15	18	In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:
Genesis	Ge	1	15	19	The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
Genesis	Ge	1	15	20	And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,
Genesis	Ge	1	15	21	And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	1	Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	2	And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	3	And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	4	And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	5	And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	6	But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	7	And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	8	And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	9	And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	10	And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	11	And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	12	And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	13	And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
Genesis	Ge	1	16	14	Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	15	And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
Genesis	Ge	1	16	16	And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	1	And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	2	And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	3	And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	17	4	As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	5	Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	6	And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	7	And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	8	And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	9	And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	10	This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	11	And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	12	And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	13	He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	14	And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	15	And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	16	And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	17	Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
Genesis	Ge	1	17	18	And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
Genesis	Ge	1	17	19	And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	20	And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	21	But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	22	And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	23	And Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all that were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the selfsame day, as God had said unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	24	And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	25	And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	26	In the selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son.
Genesis	Ge	1	17	27	And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	1	And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
Genesis	Ge	1	18	2	And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
Genesis	Ge	1	18	3	And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
Genesis	Ge	1	18	4	Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
Genesis	Ge	1	18	5	And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	6	And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	7	And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	8	And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	9	And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	10	And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	11	Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	12	Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	13	And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	14	Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	15	Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	16	And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	17	And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Genesis	Ge	1	18	18	Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	19	For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	20	And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Genesis	Ge	1	18	21	I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	22	And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	23	And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	24	Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	25	That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Genesis	Ge	1	18	26	And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	27	And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD, which am but dust and ashes:
Genesis	Ge	1	18	28	Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	29	And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	30	And he said unto him, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	31	And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the LORD: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	32	And he said, Oh let not the LORD be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	18	33	And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	1	And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;
Genesis	Ge	1	19	2	And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	3	And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they did eat.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	4	But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	5	And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	6	And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Genesis	Ge	1	19	7	And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	8	Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	9	And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	10	But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the door.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	11	And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness, both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	12	And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of this place:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	13	For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	14	And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	15	And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	16	And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	17	And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	18	And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my LORD:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	19	Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	20	Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	21	And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	22	Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	23	The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	24	Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
Genesis	Ge	1	19	25	And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	26	But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	27	And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before the LORD:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	28	And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	29	And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	30	And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	31	And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Genesis	Ge	1	19	32	Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	33	And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	34	And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	35	And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	36	Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	37	And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Genesis	Ge	1	19	38	And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	1	And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	2	And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	3	But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	4	But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
Genesis	Ge	1	20	5	Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	6	And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	7	Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	8	Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	9	Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	10	And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
Genesis	Ge	1	20	11	And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	12	And yet indeed she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	13	And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said unto her, This is thy kindness which thou shalt shew unto me; at every place whither we shall come, say of me, He is my brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	14	And Abimelech took sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and womenservants, and gave them unto Abraham, and restored him Sarah his wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	15	And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before thee: dwell where it pleaseth thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	16	And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	17	So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Genesis	Ge	1	20	18	For the LORD had fast closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech, because of Sarah Abraham's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	1	And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	2	For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	3	And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	4	And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	5	And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	6	And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	7	And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	8	And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	9	And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	10	Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	11	And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	12	And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	13	And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	14	And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	15	And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	16	And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	17	And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	18	Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	19	And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	20	And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	21	And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	22	And it came to pass at that time, that Abimelech and Phichol the chief captain of his host spake unto Abraham, saying, God is with thee in all that thou doest:
Genesis	Ge	1	21	23	Now therefore swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me, nor with my son, nor with my son's son: but according to the kindness that I have done unto thee, thou shalt do unto me, and to the land wherein thou hast sojourned.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	24	And Abraham said, I will swear.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	25	And Abraham reproved Abimelech because of a well of water, which Abimelech's servants had violently taken away.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	26	And Abimelech said, I wot not who hath done this thing: neither didst thou tell me, neither yet heard I of it, but to day.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	27	And Abraham took sheep and oxen, and gave them unto Abimelech; and both of them made a covenant.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	28	And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	29	And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves?
Genesis	Ge	1	21	30	And he said, For these seven ewe lambs shalt thou take of my hand, that they may be a witness unto me, that I have digged this well.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	31	Wherefore he called that place Beersheba; because there they sware both of them.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	32	Thus they made a covenant at Beersheba: then Abimelech rose up, and Phichol the chief captain of his host, and they returned into the land of the Philistines.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	33	And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the LORD, the everlasting God.
Genesis	Ge	1	21	34	And Abraham sojourned in the Philistines' land many days.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	1	And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	2	And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	3	And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	4	Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	5	And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	6	And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	7	And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
Genesis	Ge	1	22	8	And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	9	And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	10	And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	11	And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	12	And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	13	And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	14	And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	15	And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Genesis	Ge	1	22	16	And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Genesis	Ge	1	22	17	That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Genesis	Ge	1	22	18	And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	19	So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	20	And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor;
Genesis	Ge	1	22	21	Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram,
Genesis	Ge	1	22	22	And Chesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	23	And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	22	24	And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	1	And Sarah was an hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	2	And Sarah died in Kirjatharba; the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan: and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah, and to weep for her.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	3	And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spake unto the sons of Heth, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	23	4	I am a stranger and a sojourner with you: give me a possession of a buryingplace with you, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	5	And the children of Heth answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Genesis	Ge	1	23	6	Hear us, my lord: thou art a mighty prince among us: in the choice of our sepulchres bury thy dead; none of us shall withhold from thee his sepulchre, but that thou mayest bury thy dead.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	7	And Abraham stood up, and bowed himself to the people of the land, even to the children of Heth.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	8	And he communed with them, saying, If it be your mind that I should bury my dead out of my sight; hear me, and intreat for me to Ephron the son of Zohar,
Genesis	Ge	1	23	9	That he may give me the cave of Machpelah, which he hath, which is in the end of his field; for as much money as it is worth he shall give it me for a possession of a buryingplace amongst you.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	10	And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	23	11	Nay, my lord, hear me: the field give I thee, and the cave that is therein, I give it thee; in the presence of the sons of my people give I it thee: bury thy dead.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	12	And Abraham bowed down himself before the people of the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	13	And he spake unto Ephron in the audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury my dead there.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	14	And Ephron answered Abraham, saying unto him,
Genesis	Ge	1	23	15	My lord, hearken unto me: the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver; what is that betwixt me and thee? bury therefore thy dead.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	16	And Abraham hearkened unto Ephron; and Abraham weighed to Ephron the silver, which he had named in the audience of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	17	And the field of Ephron, which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field, and the cave which was therein, and all the trees that were in the field, that were in all the borders round about, were made sure
Genesis	Ge	1	23	18	Unto Abraham for a possession in the presence of the children of Heth, before all that went in at the gate of his city.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	19	And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre: the same is Hebron in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	23	20	And the field, and the cave that is therein, were made sure unto Abraham for a possession of a buryingplace by the sons of Heth.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	1	And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	2	And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	3	And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	4	But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	5	And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
Genesis	Ge	1	24	6	And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	7	The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	8	And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	9	And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	10	And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	11	And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	12	And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	13	Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	14	And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	15	And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	16	And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	17	And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	18	And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	19	And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	20	And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	21	And the man wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	22	And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
Genesis	Ge	1	24	23	And said, Whose daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father's house for us to lodge in?
Genesis	Ge	1	24	24	And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	25	She said moreover unto him, We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	26	And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	27	And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	28	And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	29	And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	30	And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	31	And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	32	And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	33	And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	34	And he said, I am Abraham's servant.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	35	And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	36	And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	37	And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	38	But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	39	And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	40	And he said unto me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	41	Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	42	And I came this day unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:
Genesis	Ge	1	24	43	Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;
Genesis	Ge	1	24	44	And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD hath appointed out for my master's son.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	45	And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	46	And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	47	And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	48	And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	49	And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	50	Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	51	Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	52	And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	53	And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	54	And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	55	And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	56	And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	57	And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	58	And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	59	And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	60	And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	61	And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	62	And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	63	And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	64	And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	65	For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	66	And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.
Genesis	Ge	1	24	67	And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	1	Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	2	And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	3	And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	4	And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	5	And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	6	But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	7	And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	8	Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	9	And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;
Genesis	Ge	1	25	10	The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	11	And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	12	Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:
Genesis	Ge	1	25	13	And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
Genesis	Ge	1	25	14	And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
Genesis	Ge	1	25	15	Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
Genesis	Ge	1	25	16	These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	17	And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	18	And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	19	And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Genesis	Ge	1	25	20	And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	21	And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	22	And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	23	And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	24	And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	25	And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	26	And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	27	And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	28	And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	29	And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
Genesis	Ge	1	25	30	And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	31	And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	32	And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
Genesis	Ge	1	25	33	And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	25	34	Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	1	And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	2	And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Genesis	Ge	1	26	3	Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
Genesis	Ge	1	26	4	And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
Genesis	Ge	1	26	5	Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	6	And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
Genesis	Ge	1	26	7	And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	8	And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	9	And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife: and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	10	And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	11	And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	12	Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	13	And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
Genesis	Ge	1	26	14	For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	15	For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	16	And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	17	And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	18	And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	19	And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	20	And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	21	And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	22	And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	23	And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	24	And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	25	And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	26	Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	27	And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
Genesis	Ge	1	26	28	And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, even betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
Genesis	Ge	1	26	29	That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou art now the blessed of the LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	30	And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	31	And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	32	And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	33	And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.
Genesis	Ge	1	26	34	And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Genesis	Ge	1	26	35	Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	1	And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	2	And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	3	Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;
Genesis	Ge	1	27	4	And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	5	And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	6	And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	27	7	Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	8	Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	9	Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	10	And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	11	And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	12	My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	13	And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	14	And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	15	And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	16	And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	17	And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	18	And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
Genesis	Ge	1	27	19	And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	20	And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	21	And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	22	And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	23	And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	24	And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	25	And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	26	And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	27	And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	28	Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Genesis	Ge	1	27	29	Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	30	And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	31	And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	32	And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	33	And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	34	And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	35	And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	36	And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Genesis	Ge	1	27	37	And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
Genesis	Ge	1	27	38	And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	39	And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
Genesis	Ge	1	27	40	And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	41	And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	42	And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	27	43	Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
Genesis	Ge	1	27	44	And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
Genesis	Ge	1	27	45	Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
Genesis	Ge	1	27	46	And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Genesis	Ge	1	28	1	And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	2	Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	3	And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;
Genesis	Ge	1	28	4	And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	5	And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	6	When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Genesis	Ge	1	28	7	And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;
Genesis	Ge	1	28	8	And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;
Genesis	Ge	1	28	9	Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	10	And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	11	And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	12	And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	13	And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Genesis	Ge	1	28	14	And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	15	And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	16	And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	17	And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	18	And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	19	And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.
Genesis	Ge	1	28	20	And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Genesis	Ge	1	28	21	So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:
Genesis	Ge	1	28	22	And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	1	Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	2	And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	3	And thither were all the flocks gathered: and they rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again upon the well's mouth in his place.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	4	And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	5	And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	6	And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	7	And he said, Lo, it is yet high day, neither is it time that the cattle should be gathered together: water ye the sheep, and go and feed them.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	8	And they said, We cannot, until all the flocks be gathered together, and till they roll the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	9	And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	10	And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	11	And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	12	And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son: and she ran and told her father.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	13	And it came to pass, when Laban heard the tidings of Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	14	And Laban said to him, Surely thou art my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	15	And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? tell me, what shall thy wages be?
Genesis	Ge	1	29	16	And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	17	Leah was tender eyed; but Rachel was beautiful and well favoured.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	18	And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	19	And Laban said, It is better that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	20	And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they seemed unto him but a few days, for the love he had to her.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	21	And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	22	And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	23	And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	24	And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	25	And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
Genesis	Ge	1	29	26	And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	27	Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	28	And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	29	And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	30	And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	31	And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	32	And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	33	And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	34	And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.
Genesis	Ge	1	29	35	And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	1	And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	2	And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Genesis	Ge	1	30	3	And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	4	And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	5	And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	6	And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	7	And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	8	And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	9	When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	10	And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	11	And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	12	And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	13	And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	14	And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	15	And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	16	And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	17	And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	18	And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	19	And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	20	And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	21	And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	22	And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	23	And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
Genesis	Ge	1	30	24	And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	25	And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	26	Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	27	And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	28	And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	29	And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	30	For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
Genesis	Ge	1	30	31	And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	32	I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	33	So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	34	And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	35	And he removed that day the he goats that were ringstraked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	36	And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	37	And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white strakes in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	38	And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	39	And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	40	And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ringstraked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	41	And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	42	But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
Genesis	Ge	1	30	43	And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	1	And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	2	And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	3	And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	4	And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
Genesis	Ge	1	31	5	And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	6	And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	7	And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	8	If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	9	Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	10	And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ringstraked, speckled, and grisled.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	11	And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	12	And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	13	I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	14	And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	15	Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	16	For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	17	Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
Genesis	Ge	1	31	18	And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	19	And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	20	And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	21	So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	22	And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	23	And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	24	And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	25	Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	26	And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	27	Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	28	And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	29	It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	30	And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	31	And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	32	With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	33	And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	34	Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	35	And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the images.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	36	And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	37	Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	38	This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	39	That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	40	Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	41	Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	42	Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	43	And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
Genesis	Ge	1	31	44	Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	45	And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	46	And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	47	And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	48	And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
Genesis	Ge	1	31	49	And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	50	If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	51	And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
Genesis	Ge	1	31	52	This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	53	The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	54	Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
Genesis	Ge	1	31	55	And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	1	And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	2	And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	3	And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	4	And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
Genesis	Ge	1	32	5	And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	6	And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	7	Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
Genesis	Ge	1	32	8	And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	9	And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
Genesis	Ge	1	32	10	I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	11	Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	12	And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	13	And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Genesis	Ge	1	32	14	Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
Genesis	Ge	1	32	15	Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	16	And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	17	And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
Genesis	Ge	1	32	18	Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	19	And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	20	And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	21	So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	22	And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	23	And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	24	And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	25	And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	26	And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	27	And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	28	And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	29	And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	30	And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	31	And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
Genesis	Ge	1	32	32	Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	1	And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	2	And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	3	And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	4	And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	5	And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	6	Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	7	And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	8	And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	9	And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	10	And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	11	Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	12	And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	13	And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	14	Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	15	And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	16	So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	17	And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	18	And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	19	And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
Genesis	Ge	1	33	20	And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	1	And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	2	And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	3	And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	4	And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	5	And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	6	And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	7	And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; which thing ought not to be done.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	8	And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	9	And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	10	And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	11	And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	12	Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	13	And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
Genesis	Ge	1	34	14	And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
Genesis	Ge	1	34	15	But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
Genesis	Ge	1	34	16	Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	17	But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	18	And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	19	And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honourable than all the house of his father.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	20	And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	34	21	These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	22	Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	23	Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	24	And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	25	And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	26	And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	27	The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	28	They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
Genesis	Ge	1	34	29	And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	30	And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
Genesis	Ge	1	34	31	And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?
Genesis	Ge	1	35	1	And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	2	Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
Genesis	Ge	1	35	3	And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	4	And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	5	And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	6	So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	7	And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	8	But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	9	And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padanaram, and blessed him.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	10	And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	11	And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
Genesis	Ge	1	35	12	And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	13	And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	14	And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	15	And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	16	And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	17	And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	18	And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	19	And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	20	And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	21	And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	22	And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Genesis	Ge	1	35	23	The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
Genesis	Ge	1	35	24	The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
Genesis	Ge	1	35	25	And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
Genesis	Ge	1	35	26	And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	27	And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	28	And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
Genesis	Ge	1	35	29	And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	1	Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	2	Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
Genesis	Ge	1	36	3	And Bashemath Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	4	And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel;
Genesis	Ge	1	36	5	And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	6	And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	7	For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	8	Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	9	And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
Genesis	Ge	1	36	10	These are the names of Esau's sons; Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Bashemath the wife of Esau.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	11	And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Gatam, and Kenaz.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	12	And Timna was concubine to Eliphaz Esau's son; and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek: these were the sons of Adah Esau's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	13	And these are the sons of Reuel; Nahath, and Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah: these were the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	14	And these were the sons of Aholibamah, the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon, Esau's wife: and she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	15	These were dukes of the sons of Esau: the sons of Eliphaz the firstborn son of Esau; duke Teman, duke Omar, duke Zepho, duke Kenaz,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	16	Duke Korah, duke Gatam, and duke Amalek: these are the dukes that came of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these were the sons of Adah.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	17	And these are the sons of Reuel Esau's son; duke Nahath, duke Zerah, duke Shammah, duke Mizzah: these are the dukes that came of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Bashemath Esau's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	18	And these are the sons of Aholibamah Esau's wife; duke Jeush, duke Jaalam, duke Korah: these were the dukes that came of Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, Esau's wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	19	These are the sons of Esau, who is Edom, and these are their dukes.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	20	These are the sons of Seir the Horite, who inhabited the land; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	21	And Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan: these are the dukes of the Horites, the children of Seir in the land of Edom.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	22	And the children of Lotan were Hori and Hemam; and Lotan's sister was Timna.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	23	And the children of Shobal were these; Alvan, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	24	And these are the children of Zibeon; both Ajah, and Anah: this was that Anah that found the mules in the wilderness, as he fed the asses of Zibeon his father.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	25	And the children of Anah were these; Dishon, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	26	And these are the children of Dishon; Hemdan, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	27	The children of Ezer are these; Bilhan, and Zaavan, and Akan.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	28	The children of Dishan are these; Uz, and Aran.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	29	These are the dukes that came of the Horites; duke Lotan, duke Shobal, duke Zibeon, duke Anah,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	30	Duke Dishon, duke Ezer, duke Dishan: these are the dukes that came of Hori, among their dukes in the land of Seir.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	31	And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	32	And Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom: and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	33	And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	34	And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of Temani reigned in his stead.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	35	And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	36	And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	37	And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	38	And Saul died, and Baalhanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	39	And Baalhanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
Genesis	Ge	1	36	40	And these are the names of the dukes that came of Esau, according to their families, after their places, by their names; duke Timnah, duke Alvah, duke Jetheth,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	41	Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	42	Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar,
Genesis	Ge	1	36	43	Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	1	And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	2	These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	3	Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	4	And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	5	And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	6	And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:
Genesis	Ge	1	37	7	For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	8	And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	9	And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	10	And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth?
Genesis	Ge	1	37	11	And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	12	And his brethren went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	13	And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? come, and I will send thee unto them. And he said to him, Here am I.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	14	And he said to him, Go, I pray thee, see whether it be well with thy brethren, and well with the flocks; and bring me word again. So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	15	And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou?
Genesis	Ge	1	37	16	And he said, I seek my brethren: tell me, I pray thee, where they feed their flocks.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	17	And the man said, They are departed hence; for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. And Joseph went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	18	And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	19	And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	20	Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	21	And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	22	And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	23	And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
Genesis	Ge	1	37	24	And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	25	And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	26	And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Genesis	Ge	1	37	27	Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	28	Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	29	And Reuben returned unto the pit; and, behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	30	And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go?
Genesis	Ge	1	37	31	And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
Genesis	Ge	1	37	32	And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	33	And he knew it, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	34	And Jacob rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	35	And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him.
Genesis	Ge	1	37	36	And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	1	And it came to pass at that time, that Judah went down from his brethren, and turned in to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	2	And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	3	And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	4	And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	5	And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah: and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	6	And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	7	And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD slew him.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	8	And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	9	And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	10	And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	11	Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: for he said, Lest peradventure he die also, as his brethren did. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	12	And in process of time the daughter of Shuah Judah's wife died; and Judah was comforted, and went up unto his sheepshearers to Timnath, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	13	And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold thy father in law goeth up to Timnath to shear his sheep.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	14	And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a vail, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	15	When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	16	And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me?
Genesis	Ge	1	38	17	And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it?
Genesis	Ge	1	38	18	And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	19	And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	20	And Judah sent the kid by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand: but he found her not.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	21	Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? And they said, There was no harlot in this place.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	22	And he returned to Judah, and said, I cannot find her; and also the men of the place said, that there was no harlot in this place.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	23	And Judah said, Let her take it to her, lest we be shamed: behold, I sent this kid, and thou hast not found her.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	24	And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	25	When she was brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these are, am I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet, and bracelets, and staff.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	26	And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	27	And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	28	And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	29	And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.
Genesis	Ge	1	38	30	And afterward came out his brother, that had the scarlet thread upon his hand: and his name was called Zarah.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	1	And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	2	And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	3	And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	4	And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	5	And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	6	And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	7	And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	8	But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
Genesis	Ge	1	39	9	There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
Genesis	Ge	1	39	10	And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	11	And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	12	And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	13	And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
Genesis	Ge	1	39	14	That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice:
Genesis	Ge	1	39	15	And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	16	And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	17	And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
Genesis	Ge	1	39	18	And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	19	And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	20	And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	21	But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	22	And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
Genesis	Ge	1	39	23	The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	1	And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	2	And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	3	And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	4	And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	5	And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	6	And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	7	And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
Genesis	Ge	1	40	8	And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	9	And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
Genesis	Ge	1	40	10	And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	11	And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	12	And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	13	Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	14	But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	15	For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	16	When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	17	And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	18	And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	19	Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	20	And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	21	And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
Genesis	Ge	1	40	22	But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Genesis	Ge	1	40	23	Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	1	And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	2	And, behold, there came up out of the river seven well favoured kine and fatfleshed; and they fed in a meadow.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	3	And, behold, seven other kine came up after them out of the river, ill favoured and leanfleshed; and stood by the other kine upon the brink of the river.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	4	And the ill favoured and leanfleshed kine did eat up the seven well favoured and fat kine. So Pharaoh awoke.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	5	And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	6	And, behold, seven thin ears and blasted with the east wind sprung up after them.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	7	And the seven thin ears devoured the seven rank and full ears. And Pharaoh awoke, and, behold, it was a dream.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	8	And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but there was none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	9	Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	10	Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in ward in the captain of the guard's house, both me and the chief baker:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	11	And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	12	And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	13	And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, so it was; me he restored unto mine office, and him he hanged.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	14	Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	15	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	16	And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	17	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	18	And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	19	And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	20	And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	21	And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	22	And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	23	And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	24	And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears: and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	25	And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	26	The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	27	And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	28	This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	29	Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	30	And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;
Genesis	Ge	1	41	31	And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	32	And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	33	Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	34	Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	35	And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	36	And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	37	And the thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	38	And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?
Genesis	Ge	1	41	39	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Genesis	Ge	1	41	40	Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	41	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	42	And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck;
Genesis	Ge	1	41	43	And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	44	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	45	And Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphnathpaaneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	46	And Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	47	And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	48	And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	49	And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	50	And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	51	And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	52	And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	53	And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	54	And the seven years of dearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	55	And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	56	And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and sold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	41	57	And all countries came into Egypt to Joseph for to buy corn; because that the famine was so sore in all lands.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	1	Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another?
Genesis	Ge	1	42	2	And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	3	And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	4	But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	5	And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	6	And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	7	And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	8	And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	9	And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	10	And they said unto him, Nay, my lord, but to buy food are thy servants come.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	11	We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	12	And he said unto them, Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	13	And they said, Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and, behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is not.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	14	And Joseph said unto them, That is it that I spake unto you, saying, Ye are spies:
Genesis	Ge	1	42	15	Hereby ye shall be proved: By the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, except your youngest brother come hither.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	16	Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	17	And he put them all together into ward three days.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	18	And Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God:
Genesis	Ge	1	42	19	If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the house of your prison: go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses:
Genesis	Ge	1	42	20	But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die. And they did so.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	21	And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	22	And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? therefore, behold, also his blood is required.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	23	And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	24	And he turned himself about from them, and wept; and returned to them again, and communed with them, and took from them Simeon, and bound him before their eyes.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	25	Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn, and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way: and thus did he unto them.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	26	And they laded their asses with the corn, and departed thence.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	27	And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	28	And he said unto his brethren, My money is restored; and, lo, it is even in my sack: and their heart failed them, and they were afraid, saying one to another, What is this that God hath done unto us?
Genesis	Ge	1	42	29	And they came unto Jacob their father unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto them; saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	42	30	The man, who is the lord of the land, spake roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	31	And we said unto him, We are true men; we are no spies:
Genesis	Ge	1	42	32	We be twelve brethren, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	33	And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, Hereby shall I know that ye are true men; leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone:
Genesis	Ge	1	42	34	And bring your youngest brother unto me: then shall I know that ye are no spies, but that ye are true men: so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffick in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	35	And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack: and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	36	And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	37	And Reuben spake unto his father, saying, Slay my two sons, if I bring him not to thee: deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again.
Genesis	Ge	1	42	38	And he said, My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	1	And the famine was sore in the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	2	And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the corn which they had brought out of Egypt, their father said unto them, Go again, buy us a little food.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	3	And Judah spake unto him, saying, The man did solemnly protest unto us, saying, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	4	If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	5	But if thou wilt not send him, we will not go down: for the man said unto us, Ye shall not see my face, except your brother be with you.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	6	And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother?
Genesis	Ge	1	43	7	And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? have ye another brother? and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down?
Genesis	Ge	1	43	8	And Judah said unto Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go; that we may live, and not die, both we, and thou, and also our little ones.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	9	I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	10	For except we had lingered, surely now we had returned this second time.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	11	And their father Israel said unto them, If it must be so now, do this; take of the best fruits in the land in your vessels, and carry down the man a present, a little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	12	And take double money in your hand; and the money that was brought again in the mouth of your sacks, carry it again in your hand; peradventure it was an oversight:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	13	Take also your brother, and arise, go again unto the man:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	14	And God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may send away your other brother, and Benjamin. If I be bereaved of my children, I am bereaved.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	15	And the men took that present, and they took double money in their hand, and Benjamin; and rose up, and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	16	And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the ruler of his house, Bring these men home, and slay, and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	17	And the man did as Joseph bade; and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	18	And the men were afraid, because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, Because of the money that was returned in our sacks at the first time are we brought in; that he may seek occasion against us, and fall upon us, and take us for bondmen, and our asses.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	19	And they came near to the steward of Joseph's house, and they communed with him at the door of the house,
Genesis	Ge	1	43	20	And said, O sir, we came indeed down at the first time to buy food:
Genesis	Ge	1	43	21	And it came to pass, when we came to the inn, that we opened our sacks, and, behold, every man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight: and we have brought it again in our hand.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	22	And other money have we brought down in our hands to buy food: we cannot tell who put our money in our sacks.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	23	And he said, Peace be to you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks: I had your money. And he brought Simeon out unto them.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	24	And the man brought the men into Joseph's house, and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their asses provender.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	25	And they made ready the present against Joseph came at noon: for they heard that they should eat bread there.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	26	And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves to him to the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	27	And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? Is he yet alive?
Genesis	Ge	1	43	28	And they answered, Thy servant our father is in good health, he is yet alive. And they bowed down their heads, and made obeisance.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	29	And he lifted up his eyes, and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, Is this your younger brother, of whom ye spake unto me? And he said, God be gracious unto thee, my son.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	30	And Joseph made haste; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to weep; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	31	And he washed his face, and went out, and refrained himself, and said, Set on bread.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	32	And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	33	And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright, and the youngest according to his youth: and the men marvelled one at another.
Genesis	Ge	1	43	34	And he took and sent messes unto them from before him: but Benjamin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and were merry with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	1	And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	2	And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	3	As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	4	And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good?
Genesis	Ge	1	44	5	Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? ye have done evil in so doing.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	6	And he overtook them, and he spake unto them these same words.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	7	And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? God forbid that thy servants should do according to this thing:
Genesis	Ge	1	44	8	Behold, the money, which we found in our sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land of Canaan: how then should we steal out of thy lord's house silver or gold?
Genesis	Ge	1	44	9	With whomsoever of thy servants it be found, both let him die, and we also will be my lord's bondmen.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	10	And he said, Now also let it be according unto your words: he with whom it is found shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	11	Then they speedily took down every man his sack to the ground, and opened every man his sack.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	12	And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	13	Then they rent their clothes, and laded every man his ass, and returned to the city.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	14	And Judah and his brethren came to Joseph's house; for he was yet there: and they fell before him on the ground.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	15	And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine?
Genesis	Ge	1	44	16	And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy servants: behold, we are my lord's servants, both we, and he also with whom the cup is found.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	17	And he said, God forbid that I should do so: but the man in whose hand the cup is found, he shall be my servant; and as for you, get you up in peace unto your father.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	18	Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	19	My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother?
Genesis	Ge	1	44	20	And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	21	And thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	22	And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	23	And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	24	And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	25	And our father said, Go again, and buy us a little food.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	26	And we said, We cannot go down: if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	27	And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons:
Genesis	Ge	1	44	28	And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since:
Genesis	Ge	1	44	29	And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	30	Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life;
Genesis	Ge	1	44	31	It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	32	For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	33	Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	44	34	For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	1	Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	2	And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	3	And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	4	And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	5	Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	6	For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	7	And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	8	So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	9	Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Genesis	Ge	1	45	10	And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast:
Genesis	Ge	1	45	11	And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	12	And, behold, your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	13	And ye shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that ye have seen; and ye shall haste and bring down my father hither.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	14	And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck, and wept; and Benjamin wept upon his neck.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	15	Moreover he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them: and after that his brethren talked with him.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	16	And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brethren are come: and it pleased Pharaoh well, and his servants.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	17	And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto thy brethren, This do ye; lade your beasts, and go, get you unto the land of Canaan;
Genesis	Ge	1	45	18	And take your father and your households, and come unto me: and I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the fat of the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	19	Now thou art commanded, this do ye; take you wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones, and for your wives, and bring your father, and come.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	20	Also regard not your stuff; for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	21	And the children of Israel did so: and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	22	To all of them he gave each man changes of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver, and five changes of raiment.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	23	And to his father he sent after this manner; ten asses laden with the good things of Egypt, and ten she asses laden with corn and bread and meat for his father by the way.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	24	So he sent his brethren away, and they departed: and he said unto them, See that ye fall not out by the way.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	25	And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,
Genesis	Ge	1	45	26	And told him, saying, Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not.
Genesis	Ge	1	45	27	And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said unto them: and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived:
Genesis	Ge	1	45	28	And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	1	And Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices unto the God of his father Isaac.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	2	And God spake unto Israel in the visions of the night, and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	3	And he said, I am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation:
Genesis	Ge	1	46	4	I will go down with thee into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again: and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	5	And Jacob rose up from Beersheba: and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father, and their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	6	And they took their cattle, and their goods, which they had gotten in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob, and all his seed with him:
Genesis	Ge	1	46	7	His sons, and his sons' sons with him, his daughters, and his sons' daughters, and all his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	8	And these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	9	And the sons of Reuben; Hanoch, and Phallu, and Hezron, and Carmi.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	10	And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	11	And the sons of Levi; Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	12	And the sons of Judah; Er, and Onan, and Shelah, and Pharez, and Zarah: but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Pharez were Hezron and Hamul.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	13	And the sons of Issachar; Tola, and Phuvah, and Job, and Shimron.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	14	And the sons of Zebulun; Sered, and Elon, and Jahleel.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	15	These be the sons of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob in Padanaram, with his daughter Dinah: all the souls of his sons and his daughters were thirty and three.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	16	And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	17	And the sons of Asher; Jimnah, and Ishuah, and Isui, and Beriah, and Serah their sister: and the sons of Beriah; Heber, and Malchiel.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	18	These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these she bare unto Jacob, even sixteen souls.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	19	The sons of Rachel Jacob's wife; Joseph, and Benjamin.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	20	And unto Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	21	And the sons of Benjamin were Belah, and Becher, and Ashbel, Gera, and Naaman, Ehi, and Rosh, Muppim, and Huppim, and Ard.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	22	These are the sons of Rachel, which were born to Jacob: all the souls were fourteen.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	23	And the sons of Dan; Hushim.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	24	And the sons of Naphtali; Jahzeel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shillem.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	25	These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto Rachel his daughter, and she bare these unto Jacob: all the souls were seven.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	26	All the souls that came with Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's sons' wives, all the souls were threescore and six;
Genesis	Ge	1	46	27	And the sons of Joseph, which were born him in Egypt, were two souls: all the souls of the house of Jacob, which came into Egypt, were threescore and ten.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	28	And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to direct his face unto Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	29	And Joseph made ready his chariot, and went up to meet Israel his father, to Goshen, and presented himself unto him; and he fell on his neck, and wept on his neck a good while.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	30	And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	31	And Joseph said unto his brethren, and unto his father's house, I will go up, and shew Pharaoh, and say unto him, My brethren, and my father's house, which were in the land of Canaan, are come unto me;
Genesis	Ge	1	46	32	And the men are shepherds, for their trade hath been to feed cattle; and they have brought their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have.
Genesis	Ge	1	46	33	And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation?
Genesis	Ge	1	46	34	That ye shall say, Thy servants' trade hath been about cattle from our youth even until now, both we, and also our fathers: that ye may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	1	Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	2	And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	3	And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? And they said unto Pharaoh, Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	4	They said moreover unto Pharaoh, For to sojourn in the land are we come; for thy servants have no pasture for their flocks; for the famine is sore in the land of Canaan: now therefore, we pray thee, let thy servants dwell in the land of Goshen.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	5	And Pharaoh spake unto Joseph, saying, Thy father and thy brethren are come unto thee:
Genesis	Ge	1	47	6	The land of Egypt is before thee; in the best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell: and if thou knowest any men of activity among them, then make them rulers over my cattle.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	7	And Joseph brought in Jacob his father, and set him before Pharaoh: and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	8	And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou?
Genesis	Ge	1	47	9	And Jacob said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	10	And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	11	And Joseph placed his father and his brethren, and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	12	And Joseph nourished his father, and his brethren, and all his father's household, with bread, according to their families.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	13	And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and all the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	14	And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, for the corn which they bought: and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	15	And when money failed in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for the money faileth.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	16	And Joseph said, Give your cattle; and I will give you for your cattle, if money fail.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	17	And they brought their cattle unto Joseph: and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for horses, and for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for the asses: and he fed them with bread for all their cattle for that year.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	18	When that year was ended, they came unto him the second year, and said unto him, We will not hide it from my lord, how that our money is spent; my lord also hath our herds of cattle; there is not ought left in the sight of my lord, but our bodies, and our lands:
Genesis	Ge	1	47	19	Wherefore shall we die before thine eyes, both we and our land? buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants unto Pharaoh: and give us seed, that we may live, and not die, that the land be not desolate.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	20	And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for the Egyptians sold every man his field, because the famine prevailed over them: so the land became Pharaoh's.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	21	And as for the people, he removed them to cities from one end of the borders of Egypt even to the other end thereof.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	22	Only the land of the priests bought he not; for the priests had a portion assigned them of Pharaoh, and did eat their portion which Pharaoh gave them: wherefore they sold not their lands.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	23	Then Joseph said unto the people, Behold, I have bought you this day and your land for Pharaoh: lo, here is seed for you, and ye shall sow the land.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	24	And it shall come to pass in the increase, that ye shall give the fifth part unto Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for them of your households, and for food for your little ones.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	25	And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh's servants.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	26	And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth part; except the land of the priests only, which became not Pharaoh's.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	27	And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions therein, and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	28	And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	29	And the time drew nigh that Israel must die: and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me; bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:
Genesis	Ge	1	47	30	But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said.
Genesis	Ge	1	47	31	And he said, Swear unto me. And he sware unto him. And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	1	And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	2	And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	3	And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
Genesis	Ge	1	48	4	And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	5	And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	6	And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	7	And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	8	And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
Genesis	Ge	1	48	9	And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	10	Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	11	And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	12	And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	13	And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	14	And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	15	And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
Genesis	Ge	1	48	16	The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	17	And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	18	And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	19	And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	20	And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	21	And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
Genesis	Ge	1	48	22	Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	1	And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	2	Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	3	Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	4	Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	5	Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	6	O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	7	Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	8	Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	9	Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
Genesis	Ge	1	49	10	The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	11	Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	12	His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	13	Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	14	Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	15	And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	16	Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	17	Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	18	I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	19	Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	20	Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	21	Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	22	Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	23	The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	24	But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Genesis	Ge	1	49	25	Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
Genesis	Ge	1	49	26	The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	27	Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	28	All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	29	And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Genesis	Ge	1	49	30	In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	31	There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	32	The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth.
Genesis	Ge	1	49	33	And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	1	And Joseph fell upon his father's face, and wept upon him, and kissed him.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	2	And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father: and the physicians embalmed Israel.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	3	And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him threescore and ten days.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	4	And when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spake unto the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	50	5	My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die: in my grave which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, there shalt thou bury me. Now therefore let me go up, I pray thee, and bury my father, and I will come again.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	6	And Pharaoh said, Go up, and bury thy father, according as he made thee swear.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	7	And Joseph went up to bury his father: and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,
Genesis	Ge	1	50	8	And all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father's house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	9	And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	10	And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	11	And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	12	And his sons did unto him according as he commanded them:
Genesis	Ge	1	50	13	For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, which Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a buryingplace of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	14	And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	15	And when Joseph's brethren saw that their father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	16	And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Thy father did command before he died, saying,
Genesis	Ge	1	50	17	So shall ye say unto Joseph, Forgive, I pray thee now, the trespass of thy brethren, and their sin; for they did unto thee evil: and now, we pray thee, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of thy father. And Joseph wept when they spake unto him.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	18	And his brethren also went and fell down before his face; and they said, Behold, we be thy servants.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	19	And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God?
Genesis	Ge	1	50	20	But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	21	Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them, and spake kindly unto them.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	22	And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he, and his father's house: and Joseph lived an hundred and ten years.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	23	And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	24	And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	25	And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence.
Genesis	Ge	1	50	26	So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	1	Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	2	Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,
Exodus	Exo	2	1	3	Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
Exodus	Exo	2	1	4	Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	5	And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	6	And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	7	And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	8	Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	9	And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
Exodus	Exo	2	1	10	Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	11	Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	12	But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	13	And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
Exodus	Exo	2	1	14	And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	15	And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
Exodus	Exo	2	1	16	And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	17	But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	18	And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?
Exodus	Exo	2	1	19	And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	20	Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	21	And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.
Exodus	Exo	2	1	22	And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	1	And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	2	And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	3	And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river's brink.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	4	And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	5	And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river's side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	6	And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews' children.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	7	Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter, Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for thee?
Exodus	Exo	2	2	8	And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	9	And Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee thy wages. And the woman took the child, and nursed it.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	10	And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses: and she said, Because I drew him out of the water.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	11	And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	12	And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	13	And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
Exodus	Exo	2	2	14	And he said, Who made thee a prince and a judge over us? intendest thou to kill me, as thou killedst the Egyptian? And Moses feared, and said, Surely this thing is known.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	15	Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dwelt in the land of Midian: and he sat down by a well.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	16	Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	17	And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	18	And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?
Exodus	Exo	2	2	19	And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	20	And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	21	And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	22	And she bare him a son, and he called his name Gershom: for he said, I have been a stranger in a strange land.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	23	And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	24	And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
Exodus	Exo	2	2	25	And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	1	Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	2	And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	3	And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	4	And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	5	And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	6	Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	7	And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;
Exodus	Exo	2	3	8	And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	9	Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	10	Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	11	And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
Exodus	Exo	2	3	12	And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	13	And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?
Exodus	Exo	2	3	14	And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	15	And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	16	Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:
Exodus	Exo	2	3	17	And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	18	And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	19	And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	20	And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.
Exodus	Exo	2	3	21	And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
Exodus	Exo	2	3	22	But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	1	And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	2	And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	3	And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	4	And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:
Exodus	Exo	2	4	5	That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	6	And the LORD said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	7	And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	8	And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	9	And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	10	And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	11	And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Exodus	Exo	2	4	12	Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	13	And he said, O my LORD, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	14	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	15	And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	16	And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	17	And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	18	And Moses went and returned to Jethro his father in law, and said unto him, Let me go, I pray thee, and return unto my brethren which are in Egypt, and see whether they be yet alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	19	And the LORD said unto Moses in Midian, Go, return into Egypt: for all the men are dead which sought thy life.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	20	And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	21	And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	22	And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:
Exodus	Exo	2	4	23	And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	24	And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	25	Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	26	So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	27	And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. And he went, and met him in the mount of God, and kissed him.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	28	And Moses told Aaron all the words of the LORD who had sent him, and all the signs which he had commanded him.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	29	And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel:
Exodus	Exo	2	4	30	And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people.
Exodus	Exo	2	4	31	And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	1	And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	2	And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	3	And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	4	And the king of Egypt said unto them, Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the people from their works? get you unto your burdens.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	5	And Pharaoh said, Behold, the people of the land now are many, and ye make them rest from their burdens.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	6	And Pharaoh commanded the same day the taskmasters of the people, and their officers, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	5	7	Ye shall no more give the people straw to make brick, as heretofore: let them go and gather straw for themselves.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	8	And the tale of the bricks, which they did make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye shall not diminish ought thereof: for they be idle; therefore they cry, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	9	Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	10	And the taskmasters of the people went out, and their officers, and they spake to the people, saying, Thus saith Pharaoh, I will not give you straw.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	11	Go ye, get you straw where ye can find it: yet not ought of your work shall be diminished.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	12	So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead of straw.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	13	And the taskmasters hasted them, saying, Fulfil your works, your daily tasks, as when there was straw.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	14	And the officers of the children of Israel, which Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten, and demanded, Wherefore have ye not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday and to day, as heretofore?
Exodus	Exo	2	5	15	Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore dealest thou thus with thy servants?
Exodus	Exo	2	5	16	There is no straw given unto thy servants, and they say to us, Make brick: and, behold, thy servants are beaten; but the fault is in thine own people.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	17	But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle: therefore ye say, Let us go and do sacrifice to the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	18	Go therefore now, and work; for there shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver the tale of bricks.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	19	And the officers of the children of Israel did see that they were in evil case, after it was said, Ye shall not minish ought from your bricks of your daily task.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	20	And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
Exodus	Exo	2	5	21	And they said unto them, The LORD look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to slay us.
Exodus	Exo	2	5	22	And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, LORD, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me?
Exodus	Exo	2	5	23	For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	1	Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	2	And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
Exodus	Exo	2	6	3	And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	4	And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	5	And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	6	Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
Exodus	Exo	2	6	7	And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	8	And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	9	And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	10	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	6	11	Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	12	And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
Exodus	Exo	2	6	13	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	14	These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	15	And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	16	And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	17	The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	18	And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	19	And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	20	And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	21	And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	22	And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	23	And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	24	And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	25	And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	26	These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	27	These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	28	And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
Exodus	Exo	2	6	29	That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	6	30	And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Exodus	Exo	2	7	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	2	Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	3	And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	4	But Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you, that I may lay my hand upon Egypt, and bring forth mine armies, and my people the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	5	And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	6	And Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded them, so did they.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	7	And Moses was fourscore years old, and Aaron fourscore and three years old, when they spake unto Pharaoh.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	8	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	7	9	When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	10	And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the LORD had commanded: and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	11	Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	12	For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents: but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	13	And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	14	And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	15	Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river's brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	16	And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	17	Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	18	And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	19	And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	20	And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	21	And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	22	And the magicians of Egypt did so with their enchantments: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, neither did he hearken unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	23	And Pharaoh turned and went into his house, neither did he set his heart to this also.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	24	And all the Egyptians digged round about the river for water to drink; for they could not drink of the water of the river.
Exodus	Exo	2	7	25	And seven days were fulfilled, after that the LORD had smitten the river.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	2	And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
Exodus	Exo	2	8	3	And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
Exodus	Exo	2	8	4	And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	5	And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	6	And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	7	And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	8	Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	9	And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
Exodus	Exo	2	8	10	And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD our God.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	11	And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	12	And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the LORD because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	13	And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	14	And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	15	But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	16	And the LORD said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	17	And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	18	And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	19	Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	20	And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	21	Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	22	And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	23	And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	24	And the LORD did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	25	And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God in the land.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	26	And Moses said, It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God: lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us?
Exodus	Exo	2	8	27	We will go three days' journey into the wilderness, and sacrifice to the LORD our God, as he shall command us.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	28	And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away: intreat for me.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	29	And Moses said, Behold, I go out from thee, and I will intreat the LORD that the swarms of flies may depart from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people, to morrow: but let not Pharaoh deal deceitfully any more in not letting the people go to sacrifice to the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	30	And Moses went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	31	And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; and he removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people; there remained not one.
Exodus	Exo	2	8	32	And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	1	Then the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	2	For if thou refuse to let them go, and wilt hold them still,
Exodus	Exo	2	9	3	Behold, the hand of the LORD is upon thy cattle which is in the field, upon the horses, upon the asses, upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the sheep: there shall be a very grievous murrain.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	4	And the LORD shall sever between the cattle of Israel and the cattle of Egypt: and there shall nothing die of all that is the children's of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	5	And the LORD appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the LORD shall do this thing in the land.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	6	And the LORD did that thing on the morrow, and all the cattle of Egypt died: but of the cattle of the children of Israel died not one.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	7	And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	8	And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron, Take to you handfuls of ashes of the furnace, and let Moses sprinkle it toward the heaven in the sight of Pharaoh.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	9	And it shall become small dust in all the land of Egypt, and shall be a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast, throughout all the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	10	And they took ashes of the furnace, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses sprinkled it up toward heaven; and it became a boil breaking forth with blains upon man, and upon beast.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	11	And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils; for the boil was upon the magicians, and upon all the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	12	And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken unto Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	13	And the LORD said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	14	For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	15	For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	16	And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	17	As yet exaltest thou thyself against my people, that thou wilt not let them go?
Exodus	Exo	2	9	18	Behold, to morrow about this time I will cause it to rain a very grievous hail, such as hath not been in Egypt since the foundation thereof even until now.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	19	Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and all that thou hast in the field; for upon every man and beast which shall be found in the field, and shall not be brought home, the hail shall come down upon them, and they shall die.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	20	He that feared the word of the LORD among the servants of Pharaoh made his servants and his cattle flee into the houses:
Exodus	Exo	2	9	21	And he that regarded not the word of the LORD left his servants and his cattle in the field.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	22	And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch forth thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beast, and upon every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	23	And Moses stretched forth his rod toward heaven: and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and the fire ran along upon the ground; and the LORD rained hail upon the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	24	So there was hail, and fire mingled with the hail, very grievous, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	25	And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	26	Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	27	And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	28	Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	29	And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the LORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	30	But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear the LORD God.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	31	And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley was in the ear, and the flax was bolled.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	32	But the wheat and the rie were not smitten: for they were not grown up.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	33	And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto the LORD: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	34	And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Exodus	Exo	2	9	35	And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, neither would he let the children of Israel go; as the LORD had spoken by Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him:
Exodus	Exo	2	10	2	And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	3	And Moses and Aaron came in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	4	Else, if thou refuse to let my people go, behold, to morrow will I bring the locusts into thy coast:
Exodus	Exo	2	10	5	And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth: and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field:
Exodus	Exo	2	10	6	And they shall fill thy houses, and the houses of all thy servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither thy fathers, nor thy fathers' fathers have seen, since the day that they were upon the earth unto this day. And he turned himself, and went out from Pharaoh.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	7	And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?
Exodus	Exo	2	10	8	And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?
Exodus	Exo	2	10	9	And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	10	And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for evil is before you.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	11	Not so: go now ye that are men, and serve the LORD; for that ye did desire. And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	12	And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land, even all that the hail hath left.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	13	And Moses stretched forth his rod over the land of Egypt, and the LORD brought an east wind upon the land all that day, and all that night; and when it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	14	And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, and rested in all the coasts of Egypt: very grievous were they; before them there were no such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	15	For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	16	Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	17	Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	18	And he went out from Pharaoh, and intreated the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	19	And the LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	20	But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	21	And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	22	And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
Exodus	Exo	2	10	23	They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	24	And Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the LORD; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	25	And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the LORD our God.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	26	Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the LORD our God; and we know not with what we must serve the LORD, until we come thither.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	27	But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	28	And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
Exodus	Exo	2	10	29	And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again no more.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	2	Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	3	And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	4	And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt:
Exodus	Exo	2	11	5	And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	6	And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	7	But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	8	And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	9	And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	11	10	And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	12	2	This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	3	Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
Exodus	Exo	2	12	4	And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	5	Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
Exodus	Exo	2	12	6	And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	7	And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	8	And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	9	Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	10	And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	11	And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	12	For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	13	And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	14	And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	15	Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	16	And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	17	And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	18	In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	19	Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	20	Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	21	Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	22	And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	23	For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	24	And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	25	And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	26	And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
Exodus	Exo	2	12	27	That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	28	And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	29	And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	30	And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	31	And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	32	Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	33	And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	34	And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	35	And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
Exodus	Exo	2	12	36	And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	37	And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	38	And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	39	And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	40	Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	41	And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	42	It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	43	And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
Exodus	Exo	2	12	44	But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	45	A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	46	In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	47	All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	48	And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	49	One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	50	Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
Exodus	Exo	2	12	51	And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	13	2	Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	3	And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	4	This day came ye out in the month Abib.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	5	And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	6	Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	7	Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	8	And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	9	And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	10	Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	11	And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
Exodus	Exo	2	13	12	That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD's.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	13	And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	14	And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
Exodus	Exo	2	13	15	And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	16	And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	17	And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
Exodus	Exo	2	13	18	But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	19	And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	20	And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
Exodus	Exo	2	13	21	And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:
Exodus	Exo	2	13	22	He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	14	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall ye encamp by the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	3	For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	4	And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	5	And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
Exodus	Exo	2	14	6	And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:
Exodus	Exo	2	14	7	And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	8	And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	9	But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	10	And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	11	And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?
Exodus	Exo	2	14	12	Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	13	And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	14	The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	15	And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:
Exodus	Exo	2	14	16	But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	17	And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	18	And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	19	And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:
Exodus	Exo	2	14	20	And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	21	And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	22	And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	23	And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	24	And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
Exodus	Exo	2	14	25	And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	26	And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	27	And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	28	And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	29	But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	30	Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
Exodus	Exo	2	14	31	And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	1	Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	2	The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	3	The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	4	Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	5	The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	6	Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	7	And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	8	And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	9	The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	10	Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	11	Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
Exodus	Exo	2	15	12	Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	13	Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	14	The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	15	Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	16	Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	17	Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O LORD, which thy hands have established.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	18	The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	19	For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	20	And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	21	And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	22	So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	23	And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	24	And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?
Exodus	Exo	2	15	25	And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,
Exodus	Exo	2	15	26	And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	15	27	And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped there by the waters.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	1	And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	2	And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:
Exodus	Exo	2	16	3	And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	4	Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	5	And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	6	And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:
Exodus	Exo	2	16	7	And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur against us?
Exodus	Exo	2	16	8	And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	9	And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your murmurings.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	10	And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	11	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	16	12	I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	13	And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	14	And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	15	And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	16	This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	17	And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	18	And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	19	And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	20	Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	21	And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	22	And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	23	And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	24	And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	25	And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	26	Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	27	And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	28	And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws?
Exodus	Exo	2	16	29	See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	30	So the people rested on the seventh day.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	31	And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	32	And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	33	And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	34	As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	35	And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of the land of Canaan.
Exodus	Exo	2	16	36	Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	1	And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	2	Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?
Exodus	Exo	2	17	3	And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
Exodus	Exo	2	17	4	And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	5	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	6	Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	7	And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?
Exodus	Exo	2	17	8	Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	9	And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in mine hand.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	10	So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	11	And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	12	But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	13	And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	14	And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exodus	Exo	2	17	15	And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:
Exodus	Exo	2	17	16	For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	1	When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD had brought Israel out of Egypt;
Exodus	Exo	2	18	2	Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he had sent her back,
Exodus	Exo	2	18	3	And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said, I have been an alien in a strange land:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	4	And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	5	And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	6	And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	7	And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into the tent.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	8	And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	9	And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	10	And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	11	Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	12	And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father in law before God.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	13	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	14	And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
Exodus	Exo	2	18	15	And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	16	When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	17	And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	18	Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	19	Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	20	And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	21	Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens:
Exodus	Exo	2	18	22	And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	23	If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	24	So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	25	And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	26	And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.
Exodus	Exo	2	18	27	And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his own land.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	1	In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	2	For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	3	And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;
Exodus	Exo	2	19	4	Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	5	Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Exodus	Exo	2	19	6	And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	7	And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	8	And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	9	And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	10	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
Exodus	Exo	2	19	11	And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	12	And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:
Exodus	Exo	2	19	13	There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	14	And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	15	And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not at your wives.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	16	And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	17	And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	18	And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	19	And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	20	And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	21	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	22	And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	23	And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	24	And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
Exodus	Exo	2	19	25	So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	1	And God spake all these words, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	20	2	I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	3	Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	4	Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Exodus	Exo	2	20	5	Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exodus	Exo	2	20	6	And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	7	Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	8	Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	9	Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exodus	Exo	2	20	10	But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exodus	Exo	2	20	11	For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	12	Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	13	Thou shalt not kill.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	14	Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	15	Thou shalt not steal.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	16	Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	17	Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	18	And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	19	And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	20	And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	21	And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	22	And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	23	Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	24	An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	25	And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.
Exodus	Exo	2	20	26	Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not discovered thereon.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	1	Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	2	If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	3	If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	4	If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	5	And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free:
Exodus	Exo	2	21	6	Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	7	And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	8	If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	9	And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	10	If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	11	And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	12	He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	13	And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	14	But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	15	And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	16	And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	17	And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	18	And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:
Exodus	Exo	2	21	19	If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall cause him to be thoroughly healed.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	20	And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	21	Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	22	If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	23	And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,
Exodus	Exo	2	21	24	Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Exodus	Exo	2	21	25	Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	26	And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	27	And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	28	If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox shall be quit.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	29	But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	30	If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	31	Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	32	If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	33	And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;
Exodus	Exo	2	21	34	The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them; and the dead beast shall be his.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	35	And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall divide.
Exodus	Exo	2	21	36	Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	1	If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	2	If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	3	If the sun be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	4	If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be ox, or ass, or sheep; he shall restore double.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	5	If a man shall cause a field or vineyard to be eaten, and shall put in his beast, and shall feed in another man's field; of the best of his own field, and of the best of his own vineyard, shall he make restitution.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	6	If fire break out, and catch in thorns, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed therewith; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	7	If a man shall deliver unto his neighbour money or stuff to keep, and it be stolen out of the man's house; if the thief be found, let him pay double.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	8	If the thief be not found, then the master of the house shall be brought unto the judges, to see whether he have put his hand unto his neighbour's goods.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	9	For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	10	If a man deliver unto his neighbour an ass, or an ox, or a sheep, or any beast, to keep; and it die, or be hurt, or driven away, no man seeing it:
Exodus	Exo	2	22	11	Then shall an oath of the LORD be between them both, that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbour's goods; and the owner of it shall accept thereof, and he shall not make it good.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	12	And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution unto the owner thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	13	If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, and he shall not make good that which was torn.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	14	And if a man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	15	But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	16	And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	17	If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	18	Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	19	Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	20	He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	21	Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	22	Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	23	If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;
Exodus	Exo	2	22	24	And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	25	If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	26	If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down:
Exodus	Exo	2	22	27	For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	28	Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	29	Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, and of thy liquors: the firstborn of thy sons shalt thou give unto me.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	30	Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: seven days it shall be with his dam; on the eighth day thou shalt give it me.
Exodus	Exo	2	22	31	And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of beasts in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	1	Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	2	Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:
Exodus	Exo	2	23	3	Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	4	If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	5	If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	6	Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	7	Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	8	And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	9	Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	10	And six years thou shalt sow thy land, and shalt gather in the fruits thereof:
Exodus	Exo	2	23	11	But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; that the poor of thy people may eat: and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	12	Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	13	And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	14	Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	15	Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
Exodus	Exo	2	23	16	And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	17	Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the LORD God.

Exodus	Exo	2	23	20	Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	21	Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	22	But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	23	For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	24	Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

Exodus	Exo	2	23	28	And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	29	I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	30	By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	31	And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	32	Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
Exodus	Exo	2	23	33	They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Exodus	Exo	2	24	8	And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.
Exodus	Exo	2	24	9	Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
Exodus	Exo	2	24	10	And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
Exodus	Exo	2	24	11	And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Exodus	Exo	2	24	17	And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	24	18	And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights.
Exodus	Exo	2	25	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

Exodus	Exo	2	29	1	And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them, to minister unto me in the priest's office: Take one young bullock, and two rams without blemish,
Exodus	Exo	2	29	2	And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheaten flour shalt thou make them.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	3	And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bullock and the two rams.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	4	And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	5	And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
Exodus	Exo	2	29	6	And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	7	Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	8	And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	9	And thou shalt gird them with girdles, Aaron and his sons, and put the bonnets on them: and the priest's office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	10	And thou shalt cause a bullock to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bullock.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	11	And thou shalt kill the bullock before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	12	And thou shalt take of the blood of the bullock, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	13	And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	14	But the flesh of the bullock, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire without the camp: it is a sin offering.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	15	Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	16	And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it round about upon the altar.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	17	And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them unto his pieces, and unto his head.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	18	And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering unto the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	19	And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	20	Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	21	And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	22	Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
Exodus	Exo	2	29	23	And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
Exodus	Exo	2	29	24	And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	25	And thou shalt receive them of their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	26	And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	27	And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
Exodus	Exo	2	29	28	And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	29	And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be consecrated in them.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	30	And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	31	And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and seethe his flesh in the holy place.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	32	And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	33	And they shall eat those things wherewith the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat thereof, because they are holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	34	And if ought of the flesh of the consecrations, or of the bread, remain unto the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	35	And thus shalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	36	And thou shalt offer every day a bullock for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	37	Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatsoever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	38	Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	39	The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at even:
Exodus	Exo	2	29	40	And with the one lamb a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	41	And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even, and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to the drink offering thereof, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	42	This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	43	And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	44	And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	45	And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Exodus	Exo	2	29	46	And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	1	And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	2	A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be of the same.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	3	And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a crown of gold round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	4	And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	5	And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	6	And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	7	And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	8	And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	9	Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	10	And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	11	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	12	When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	13	This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	14	Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	15	The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	16	And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	17	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	18	Thou shalt also make a laver of brass, and his foot also of brass, to wash withal: and thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	19	For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
Exodus	Exo	2	30	20	When they go into the tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
Exodus	Exo	2	30	21	So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	22	Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	23	Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	24	And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin:
Exodus	Exo	2	30	25	And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	26	And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation therewith, and the ark of the testimony,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	27	And the table and all his vessels, and the candlestick and his vessels, and the altar of incense,
Exodus	Exo	2	30	28	And the altar of burnt offering with all his vessels, and the laver and his foot.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	29	And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatsoever toucheth them shall be holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	30	And thou shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	31	And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, This shall be an holy anointing oil unto me throughout your generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	32	Upon man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make any other like it, after the composition of it: it is holy, and it shall be holy unto you.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	33	Whosoever compoundeth any like it, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall even be cut off from his people.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	34	And the LORD said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; these sweet spices with pure frankincense: of each shall there be a like weight:
Exodus	Exo	2	30	35	And thou shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, pure and holy:
Exodus	Exo	2	30	36	And thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, where I will meet with thee: it shall be unto you most holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	37	And as for the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to the composition thereof: it shall be unto thee holy for the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	30	38	Whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	2	See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
Exodus	Exo	2	31	3	And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	4	To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	5	And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	6	And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
Exodus	Exo	2	31	7	The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	8	And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	9	And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	10	And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	11	And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	12	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	31	13	Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	14	Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	15	Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	16	Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	17	It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus	Exo	2	31	18	And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	1	And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	2	And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	3	And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	4	And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	5	And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	6	And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	7	And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
Exodus	Exo	2	32	8	They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	9	And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Exodus	Exo	2	32	10	Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	11	And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
Exodus	Exo	2	32	12	Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	13	Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	14	And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	15	And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	16	And the tables were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	17	And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	18	And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	19	And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	20	And he took the calf which they had made, and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and strawed it upon the water, and made the children of Israel drink of it.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	21	And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them?
Exodus	Exo	2	32	22	And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot: thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	23	For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	24	And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	25	And when Moses saw that the people were naked; (for Aaron had made them naked unto their shame among their enemies:)
Exodus	Exo	2	32	26	Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the LORD's side? let him come unto me. And all the sons of Levi gathered themselves together unto him.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	27	And he said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbour.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	28	And the children of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and there fell of the people that day about three thousand men.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	29	For Moses had said, Consecrate yourselves today to the LORD, even every man upon his son, and upon his brother; that he may bestow upon you a blessing this day.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	30	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses said unto the people, Ye have sinned a great sin: and now I will go up unto the LORD; peradventure I shall make an atonement for your sin.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	31	And Moses returned unto the LORD, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	32	Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	33	And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	34	Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
Exodus	Exo	2	32	35	And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
Exodus	Exo	2	33	2	And I will send an angel before thee; and I will drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Exodus	Exo	2	33	3	Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: for I will not go up in the midst of thee; for thou art a stiffnecked people: lest I consume thee in the way.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	4	And when the people heard these evil tidings, they mourned: and no man did put on him his ornaments.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	5	For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	6	And the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by the mount Horeb.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	7	And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitched it without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called it the Tabernacle of the congregation. And it came to pass, that every one which sought the LORD went out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was without the camp.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	8	And it came to pass, when Moses went out unto the tabernacle, that all the people rose up, and stood every man at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	9	And it came to pass, as Moses entered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tabernacle, and the Lord talked with Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	10	And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door: and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	11	And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	12	And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	13	Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	14	And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	15	And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	16	For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	17	And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	18	And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	19	And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	20	And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
Exodus	Exo	2	33	21	And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
Exodus	Exo	2	33	22	And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
Exodus	Exo	2	33	23	And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	2	And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	3	And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	4	And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	5	And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	6	And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Exodus	Exo	2	34	7	Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	8	And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	9	And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O LORD, let my LORD, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	10	And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD: for it is a terrible thing that I will do with thee.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	11	Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	12	Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
Exodus	Exo	2	34	13	But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:
Exodus	Exo	2	34	14	For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Exodus	Exo	2	34	15	Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
Exodus	Exo	2	34	16	And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	17	Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	18	The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	19	All that openeth the matrix is mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	20	But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	21	Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	22	And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year's end.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	23	Thrice in the year shall all your menchildren appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	24	For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	25	Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	26	The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	27	And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	28	And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	29	And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	30	And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	31	And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	32	And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	33	And till Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on his face.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	34	But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.
Exodus	Exo	2	34	35	And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	1	And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, These are the words which the LORD hath commanded, that ye should do them.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	2	Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	3	Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	4	And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	5	Take ye from among you an offering unto the LORD: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the LORD; gold, and silver, and brass,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	6	And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	7	And rams' skins dyed red, and badgers' skins, and shittim wood,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	8	And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	9	And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	10	And every wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the LORD hath commanded;
Exodus	Exo	2	35	11	The tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	12	The ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and the vail of the covering,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	13	The table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and the shewbread,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	14	The candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with the oil for the light,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	15	And the incense altar, and his staves, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	16	The altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	17	The hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	18	The pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and their cords,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	19	The cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	20	And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	21	And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	22	And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	23	And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	24	Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	25	And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	26	And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	27	And the rulers brought onyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate;
Exodus	Exo	2	35	28	And spice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	29	The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	30	And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
Exodus	Exo	2	35	31	And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
Exodus	Exo	2	35	32	And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exodus	Exo	2	35	33	And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	34	And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
Exodus	Exo	2	35	35	Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	1	Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	2	And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
Exodus	Exo	2	36	3	And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	4	And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
Exodus	Exo	2	36	5	And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	6	And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	7	For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	8	And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	9	The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	10	And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	11	And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	12	Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	13	And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	14	And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	15	The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	16	And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	17	And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	18	And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	19	And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	20	And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	21	The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	22	One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	23	And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
Exodus	Exo	2	36	24	And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	25	And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
Exodus	Exo	2	36	26	And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	27	And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	28	And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	29	And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	30	And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	31	And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
Exodus	Exo	2	36	32	And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	33	And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	34	And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	35	And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	36	And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
Exodus	Exo	2	36	37	And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
Exodus	Exo	2	36	38	And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	1	And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:
Exodus	Exo	2	37	2	And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	3	And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	4	And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	5	And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	6	And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	7	And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;
Exodus	Exo	2	37	8	One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	9	And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	10	And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
Exodus	Exo	2	37	11	And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	12	Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	13	And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	14	Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	15	And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	16	And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	17	And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
Exodus	Exo	2	37	18	And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:
Exodus	Exo	2	37	19	Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	20	And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
Exodus	Exo	2	37	21	And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	22	Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	23	And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	24	Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	25	And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	26	And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	27	And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	28	And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	37	29	And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	1	And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	2	And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	3	And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	4	And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	5	And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	6	And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	7	And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	8	And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	9	And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
Exodus	Exo	2	38	10	Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	11	And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

Exodus	Exo	2	38	18	And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	19	And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	20	And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	21	This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	22	And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	23	And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	24	All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	25	And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
Exodus	Exo	2	38	26	A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	27	And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	28	And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	29	And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
Exodus	Exo	2	38	30	And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
Exodus	Exo	2	38	31	And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	1	And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	2	And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	3	And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	4	They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	5	And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	6	And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	7	And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	8	And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	9	It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	10	And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	11	And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	12	And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	13	And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	14	And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	15	And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	16	And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	17	And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	18	And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	19	And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	20	And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	21	And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	22	And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	23	And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	24	And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	25	And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
Exodus	Exo	2	39	26	A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	27	And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	28	And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	29	And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	30	And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	31	And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	32	Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	33	And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	34	And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	35	The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	36	The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	37	The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	38	And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	39	The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	40	The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
Exodus	Exo	2	39	41	The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	42	According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
Exodus	Exo	2	39	43	And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Exodus	Exo	2	40	2	On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	3	And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	4	And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	5	And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	6	And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	7	And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	8	And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	9	And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	10	And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	11	And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	12	And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	13	And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	14	And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:
Exodus	Exo	2	40	15	And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	16	Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	17	And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	18	And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	19	And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	20	And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:
Exodus	Exo	2	40	21	And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	22	And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	23	And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	24	And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	25	And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	26	And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:
Exodus	Exo	2	40	27	And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	28	And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	29	And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	30	And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	31	And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:
Exodus	Exo	2	40	32	When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	33	And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	34	Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	35	And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	36	And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys:
Exodus	Exo	2	40	37	But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
Exodus	Exo	2	40	38	For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	1	And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	3	If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	4	And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	5	And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	6	And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.

Leviticus	Lev	3	1	8	And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	9	But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	10	And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.

Leviticus	Lev	3	1	12	And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	13	But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	14	And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	15	And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	16	And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Leviticus	Lev	3	1	17	And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	1	And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	2	And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	3	And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	4	And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	5	And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.

Leviticus	Lev	3	2	9	And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	10	And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	11	No meat offering, which ye shall bring unto the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for ye shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	12	As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	13	And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	14	And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	15	And thou shalt put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	2	16	And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	3	1	And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	3	2	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about.
Leviticus	Lev	3	3	3	And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

Leviticus	Lev	3	3	9	And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire unto the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
Leviticus	Lev	3	3	10	And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.
Leviticus	Lev	3	3	11	And the priest shall burn it upon the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire unto the LORD.

Leviticus	Lev	3	3	17	It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them:
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	3	If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	4	And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	5	And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	6	And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanctuary.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	7	And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	8	And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	9	And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	10	As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	11	And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung,
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	12	Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	13	And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should not be done, and are guilty;
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	14	When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	15	And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD: and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	16	And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	17	And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, even before the vail.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	18	And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	19	And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	20	And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	21	And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	22	When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God concerning things which should not be done, and is guilty;
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	23	Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish:
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	24	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the LORD: it is a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	25	And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

Leviticus	Lev	3	4	27	And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty;
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	28	Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	29	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	30	And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	31	And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	32	And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	33	And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	34	And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	4	35	And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	1	And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	2	Or if a soul touch any unclean thing, whether it be a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and if it be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	3	Or if he touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness it be that a man shall be defiled withal, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	4	Or if a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	5	And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	6	And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	7	And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	8	And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	9	And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	10	And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	11	But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	12	Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: it is a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	13	And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's, as a meat offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	14	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	15	If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	16	And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	17	And if a soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	18	And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	5	19	It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	2	If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour;
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	3	Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth falsely; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein:
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	4	Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	5	Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	6	And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	7	And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD: and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done in trespassing therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	8	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	9	Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	10	And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	11	And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	12	And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	13	The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	14	And this is the law of the meat offering: the sons of Aaron shall offer it before the LORD, before the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	15	And he shall take of it his handful, of the flour of the meat offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meat offering, and shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour, even the memorial of it, unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	16	And the remainder thereof shall Aaron and his sons eat: with unleavened bread shall it be eaten in the holy place; in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation they shall eat it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	17	It shall not be baken with leaven. I have given it unto them for their portion of my offerings made by fire; it is most holy, as is the sin offering, and as the trespass offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	18	All the males among the children of Aaron shall eat of it. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations concerning the offerings of the LORD made by fire: every one that toucheth them shall be holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	19	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	20	This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons, which they shall offer unto the LORD in the day when he is anointed; the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meat offering perpetual, half of it in the morning, and half thereof at night.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	21	In a pan it shall be made with oil; and when it is baken, thou shalt bring it in: and the baken pieces of the meat offering shalt thou offer for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	22	And the priest of his sons that is anointed in his stead shall offer it: it is a statute for ever unto the LORD; it shall be wholly burnt.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	23	For every meat offering for the priest shall be wholly burnt: it shall not be eaten.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	24	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	25	Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering: In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD: it is most holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	26	The priest that offereth it for sin shall eat it: in the holy place shall it be eaten, in the court of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	27	Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof shall be holy: and when there is sprinkled of the blood thereof upon any garment, thou shalt wash that whereon it was sprinkled in the holy place.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	28	But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	29	All the males among the priests shall eat thereof: it is most holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	6	30	And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	1	Likewise this is the law of the trespass offering: it is most holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	2	In the place where they kill the burnt offering shall they kill the trespass offering: and the blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	3	And he shall offer of it all the fat thereof; the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards,
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	4	And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the caul that is above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away:
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	5	And the priest shall burn them upon the altar for an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a trespass offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	6	Every male among the priests shall eat thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place: it is most holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	7	As the sin offering is, so is the trespass offering: there is one law for them: the priest that maketh atonement therewith shall have it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	8	And the priest that offereth any man's burnt offering, even the priest shall have to himself the skin of the burnt offering which he hath offered.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	9	And all the meat offering that is baken in the oven, and all that is dressed in the fryingpan, and in the pan, shall be the priest's that offereth it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	10	And every meat offering, mingled with oil, and dry, shall all the sons of Aaron have, one as much as another.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	11	And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he shall offer unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	12	If he offer it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the sacrifice of thanksgiving unleavened cakes mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour, fried.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	13	Besides the cakes, he shall offer for his offering leavened bread with the sacrifice of thanksgiving of his peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	14	And of it he shall offer one out of the whole oblation for an heave offering unto the LORD, and it shall be the priest's that sprinkleth the blood of the peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	15	And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	16	But if the sacrifice of his offering be a vow, or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his sacrifice: and on the morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten:
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	17	But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	18	And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	19	And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall eat thereof.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	20	But the soul that eateth of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, that pertain unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	21	Moreover the soul that shall touch any unclean thing, as the uncleanness of man, or any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings, which pertain unto the LORD, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	22	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	23	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	24	And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	25	For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	26	Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	27	Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	28	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	29	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	30	His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	31	And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	32	And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	33	He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	34	For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	35	This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest's office;
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	36	Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	37	This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;
Leviticus	Lev	3	7	38	Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	2	Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	3	And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	4	And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	5	And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	6	And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	7	And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	8	And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	9	And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	10	And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	11	And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	12	And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron's head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	13	And Moses brought Aaron's sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	14	And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	15	And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	16	And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	17	But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	18	And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	19	And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	20	And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	21	And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	22	And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	23	And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron's right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	24	And he brought Aaron's sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	25	And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	26	And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	27	And he put all upon Aaron's hands, and upon his sons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	28	And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	29	And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses' part; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	30	And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons' garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons' garments with him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	31	And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	32	And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	33	And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	34	As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	35	Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	8	36	So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	1	And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	2	And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	3	And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	4	Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	5	And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	6	And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	7	And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	8	Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	9	And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	10	But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	11	And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	12	And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	13	And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	14	And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	15	And he brought the people's offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	16	And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	17	And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	18	He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron's sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	19	And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	20	And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	21	And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	22	And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	23	And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	9	24	And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	1	And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	2	And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	3	Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	4	And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	5	So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	6	And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	7	And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	8	And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	9	Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	10	And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	11	And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	12	And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	13	And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy due, and thy sons' due, of the sacrifices of the LORD made by fire: for so I am commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	14	And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	15	The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons' with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	16	And Moses diligently sought the goat of the sin offering, and, behold, it was burnt: and he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron which were left alive, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	17	Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the LORD?
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	18	Behold, the blood of it was not brought in within the holy place: ye should indeed have eaten it in the holy place, as I commanded.
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	19	And Aaron said unto Moses, Behold, this day have they offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD; and such things have befallen me: and if I had eaten the sin offering to day, should it have been accepted in the sight of the LORD?
Leviticus	Lev	3	10	20	And when Moses heard that, he was content.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	3	Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	4	Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	5	And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	6	And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	7	And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	8	Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	9	These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	10	And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	11	They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	12	Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	13	And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	14	And the vulture, and the kite after his kind;
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	15	Every raven after his kind;
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	16	And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	17	And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	18	And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	19	And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	20	All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	21	Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth;
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	22	Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	23	But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	24	And for these ye shall be unclean: whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	25	And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	26	The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	27	And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	28	And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	29	These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind,
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	30	And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	31	These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	32	And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even; so it shall be cleansed.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	33	And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	34	Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	35	And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	36	Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	37	And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	38	But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	39	And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	40	And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	41	And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	42	Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	43	Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	44	For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	45	For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	46	This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth:
Leviticus	Lev	3	11	47	To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	3	And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	4	And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	5	But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	6	And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	7	Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that hath born a male or a female.
Leviticus	Lev	3	12	8	And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	2	When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	3	And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	4	If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	5	And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	6	And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	7	But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he hath been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	8	And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	9	When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	10	And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	11	It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	12	And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wheresoever the priest looketh;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	13	Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	14	But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	15	And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	16	Or if the raw flesh turn again, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	17	And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	18	The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	19	And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be shewed to the priest;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	20	And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	21	But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	22	And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	23	But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	24	Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	25	Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	26	But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	27	And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	28	And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	29	If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	30	Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	31	And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	32	And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	33	He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	34	And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	35	But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	36	Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	37	But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	38	If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	39	Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	40	And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	41	And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	42	And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	43	Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	44	He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	45	And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	46	All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	47	The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	48	Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	49	And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	50	And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	51	And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	52	He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	53	And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	54	Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	55	And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	56	And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	57	And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	58	And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	13	59	This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	2	This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	3	And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	4	Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	5	And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	6	As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	7	And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	8	And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	9	But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	10	And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	11	And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	12	And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	13	And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	14	And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	15	And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	16	And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	17	And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	18	And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	19	And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	20	And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	21	And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	22	And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	23	And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	24	And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	25	And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	26	And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	27	And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	28	And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	29	And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	30	And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	31	Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	32	This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	33	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	34	When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	35	And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	36	Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	37	And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	38	Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	39	And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	40	Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	41	And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	42	And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	43	And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	44	Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	45	And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	46	Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	47	And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	48	And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	49	And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	50	And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	51	And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	52	And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	53	But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	54	This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	55	And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	56	And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
Leviticus	Lev	3	14	57	To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean.

Leviticus	Lev	3	15	14	And on the eighth day he shall take to him two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and come before the LORD unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and give them unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	15	And the priest shall offer them, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD for his issue.

Leviticus	Lev	3	15	25	And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	26	Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	27	And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	28	But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	29	And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	30	And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	31	Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	32	This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;
Leviticus	Lev	3	15	33	And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	2	And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	3	Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	4	He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so put them on.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	5	And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	6	And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	7	And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	8	And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	9	And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	10	But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	11	And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	12	And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring it within the vail:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	13	And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	14	And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	15	Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	16	And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	17	And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	18	And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	19	And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	20	And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	21	And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	22	And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	23	And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	24	And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	25	And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	26	And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	27	And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	28	And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	29	And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	30	For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	31	It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	32	And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the holy garments:
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	33	And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	16	34	And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	2	Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	3	What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	4	And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the LORD before the tabernacle of the LORD; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	5	To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	6	And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	7	And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	8	And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	9	And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	10	And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	11	For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	12	Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	13	And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	14	For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	15	And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	17	16	But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	3	After the doings of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	4	Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, to walk therein: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	5	Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	6	None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	7	The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	8	The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	9	The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	10	The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for theirs is thine own nakedness.

Leviticus	Lev	3	18	12	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's near kinswoman.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	13	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	14	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	15	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter in law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	16	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	17	Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	18	Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, beside the other in her life time.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	19	Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	20	Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	21	And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	22	Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	23	Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	24	Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	25	And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	26	Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	27	(For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	28	That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	29	For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	18	30	Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	2	Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.

Leviticus	Lev	3	19	4	Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	5	And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	6	It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	7	And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	8	Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	9	And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	10	And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	11	Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	12	And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.

Leviticus	Lev	3	19	15	Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	16	Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

Leviticus	Lev	3	19	18	Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	19	Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	20	And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	21	And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	22	And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done: and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	23	And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	24	But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD withal.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	25	And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	26	Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use enchantment, nor observe times.

Leviticus	Lev	3	19	33	And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	34	But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	35	Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	36	Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Leviticus	Lev	3	19	37	Therefore shall ye observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	2	Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	3	And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	4	And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	5	Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	6	And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	7	Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	8	And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the LORD which sanctify you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	9	For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

Leviticus	Lev	3	20	17	And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	18	And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	19	And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity.

Leviticus	Lev	3	20	22	Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	23	And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	24	But I have said unto you, Ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I am the LORD your God, which have separated you from other people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	25	Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
Leviticus	Lev	3	20	26	And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.

Leviticus	Lev	3	21	1	And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	2	But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	3	And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.

Leviticus	Lev	3	21	14	A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	15	Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sanctify him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	16	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	17	Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	18	For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous,
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	19	Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded,
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	20	Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	21	No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	22	He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	23	Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	21	24	And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	2	Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	3	Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the LORD, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	4	What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	5	Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	6	The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	7	And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	8	That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	9	They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the LORD do sanctify them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	10	There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	11	But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	12	If the priest's daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	13	But if the priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's meat: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	14	And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	15	And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the LORD;
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	16	Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the LORD do sanctify them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	17	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	18	Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whatsoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, that will offer his oblation for all his vows, and for all his freewill offerings, which they will offer unto the LORD for a burnt offering;
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	19	Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	20	But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	21	And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD to accomplish his vow, or a freewill offering in beeves or sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	22	Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	23	Either a bullock or a lamb that hath any thing superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	24	Ye shall not offer unto the LORD that which is bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut; neither shall ye make any offering thereof in your land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	25	Neither from a stranger's hand shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, and blemishes be in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	26	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	27	When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	28	And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and her young both in one day.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	29	And when ye will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto the LORD, offer it at your own will.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	30	On the same day it shall be eaten up; ye shall leave none of it until the morrow: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	31	Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	32	Neither shall ye profane my holy name; but I will be hallowed among the children of Israel: I am the LORD which hallow you,
Leviticus	Lev	3	22	33	That brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	3	Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	4	These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	5	In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's passover.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	6	And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	7	In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	8	But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	9	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	10	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	11	And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	12	And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	13	And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	14	And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	15	And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	16	Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	17	Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	18	And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	19	Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	20	And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	21	And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	22	And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	23	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	24	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	25	Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	26	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	27	Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	28	And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	29	For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	30	And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	31	Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	32	It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	33	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	34	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	35	On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	36	Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	37	These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	38	Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	39	Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	40	And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	41	And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	42	Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	43	That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	23	44	And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	2	Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamps to burn continually.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	3	Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	4	He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick before the LORD continually.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	5	And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	6	And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	7	And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	8	Every sabbath he shall set it in order before the LORD continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	9	And it shall be Aaron's and his sons'; and they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	10	And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	11	And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:)
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	12	And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	13	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	14	Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	15	And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	16	And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	17	And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	18	And he that killeth a beast shall make it good; beast for beast.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	19	And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it be done to him;
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	20	Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	21	And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	22	Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	24	23	And Moses spake to the children of Israel, that they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	3	Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	4	But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	5	That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	6	And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy maid, and for thy hired servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	7	And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	8	And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	9	Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	10	And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	11	A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	12	For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	13	In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	14	And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	15	According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	16	According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	17	Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	18	Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	19	And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	20	And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	21	Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	22	And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	23	The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	24	And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	25	If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	26	And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it;
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	27	Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	28	But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	29	And if a man sell a dwelling house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year may he redeem it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	30	And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	31	But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country: they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	32	Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	33	And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile: for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	34	But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	35	And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	36	Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	37	Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	38	I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	39	And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	40	But as an hired servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	41	And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his children with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	42	For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	43	Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	44	Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	45	Moreover of the children of the strangers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	46	And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	47	And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	48	After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him:
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	49	Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	50	And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	51	If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	52	And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	53	And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	54	And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	25	55	For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	1	Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	2	Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	3	If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	4	Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	5	And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	6	And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	7	And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	8	And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	9	For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	10	And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	11	And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	12	And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	13	I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	14	But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	15	And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	16	I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	17	And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	18	And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	19	And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	20	And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	21	And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	22	I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	23	And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	24	Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	25	And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	26	And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	27	And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	28	Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	29	And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	30	And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	31	And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	32	And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	33	And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	34	Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	35	As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	36	And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	37	And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	38	And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	39	And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	40	If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	41	And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	42	Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	43	The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	44	And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	45	But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	26	46	These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When a man shall make a singular vow, the persons shall be for the LORD by thy estimation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	3	And thy estimation shall be of the male from twenty years old even unto sixty years old, even thy estimation shall be fifty shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	4	And if it be a female, then thy estimation shall be thirty shekels.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	5	And if it be from five years old even unto twenty years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male twenty shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	6	And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	7	And if it be from sixty years old and above; if it be a male, then thy estimation shall be fifteen shekels, and for the female ten shekels.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	8	But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	9	And if it be a beast, whereof men bring an offering unto the LORD, all that any man giveth of such unto the LORD shall be holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	10	He shall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a bad, or a bad for a good: and if he shall at all change beast for beast, then it and the exchange thereof shall be holy.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	11	And if it be any unclean beast, of which they do not offer a sacrifice unto the LORD, then he shall present the beast before the priest:
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	12	And the priest shall value it, whether it be good or bad: as thou valuest it, who art the priest, so shall it be.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	13	But if he will at all redeem it, then he shall add a fifth part thereof unto thy estimation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	14	And when a man shall sanctify his house to be holy unto the LORD, then the priest shall estimate it, whether it be good or bad: as the priest shall estimate it, so shall it stand.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	15	And if he that sanctified it will redeem his house, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be his.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	16	And if a man shall sanctify unto the LORD some part of a field of his possession, then thy estimation shall be according to the seed thereof: an homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	17	If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	18	But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy estimation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	19	And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	20	And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	21	But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted; the possession thereof shall be the priest's.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	22	And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession;
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	23	Then the priest shall reckon unto him the worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile: and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	24	In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the possession of the land did belong.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	25	And all thy estimations shall be according to the shekel of the sanctuary: twenty gerahs shall be the shekel.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	26	Only the firstling of the beasts, which should be the LORD's firstling, no man shall sanctify it; whether it be ox, or sheep: it is the LORD's.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	27	And if it be of an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to thine estimation, and shall add a fifth part of it thereto: or if it be not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to thy estimation.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	28	Notwithstanding no devoted thing, that a man shall devote unto the LORD of all that he hath, both of man and beast, and of the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed: every devoted thing is most holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	29	None devoted, which shall be devoted of men, shall be redeemed; but shall surely be put to death.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	30	And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's: it is holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	31	And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	32	And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	33	He shall not search whether it be good or bad, neither shall he change it: and if he change it at all, then both it and the change thereof shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.
Leviticus	Lev	3	27	34	These are the commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel in mount Sinai.

Numbers	Num	4	3	12	And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
Numbers	Num	4	3	13	Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I am the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	3	14	And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,

Numbers	Num	4	5	2	Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by the dead:
Numbers	Num	4	5	3	Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
Numbers	Num	4	5	4	And the children of Israel did so, and put them out without the camp: as the LORD spake unto Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Numbers	Num	4	5	6	Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
Numbers	Num	4	5	7	Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal thereof, and add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
Numbers	Num	4	5	8	But if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, let the trespass be recompensed unto the LORD, even to the priest; beside the ram of the atonement, whereby an atonement shall be made for him.
Numbers	Num	4	5	9	And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring unto the priest, shall be his.
Numbers	Num	4	5	10	And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatsoever any man giveth the priest, it shall be his.
Numbers	Num	4	5	11	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	5	12	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him,
Numbers	Num	4	5	13	And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;
Numbers	Num	4	5	14	And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:
Numbers	Num	4	5	15	Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
Numbers	Num	4	5	16	And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:
Numbers	Num	4	5	17	And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:
Numbers	Num	4	5	18	And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:
Numbers	Num	4	5	19	And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:
Numbers	Num	4	5	20	But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband:
Numbers	Num	4	5	21	Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell;
Numbers	Num	4	5	22	And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
Numbers	Num	4	5	23	And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:
Numbers	Num	4	5	24	And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.
Numbers	Num	4	5	25	Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:
Numbers	Num	4	5	26	And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.
Numbers	Num	4	5	27	And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
Numbers	Num	4	5	28	And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.
Numbers	Num	4	5	29	This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;
Numbers	Num	4	5	30	Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.
Numbers	Num	4	5	31	Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.
Numbers	Num	4	6	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	6	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD:
Numbers	Num	4	6	3	He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
Numbers	Num	4	6	4	All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.
Numbers	Num	4	6	5	All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.
Numbers	Num	4	6	6	All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall come at no dead body.
Numbers	Num	4	6	7	He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration of his God is upon his head.
Numbers	Num	4	6	8	All the days of his separation he is holy unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	6	9	And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.
Numbers	Num	4	6	10	And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	6	11	And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.
Numbers	Num	4	6	12	And he shall consecrate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.
Numbers	Num	4	6	13	And this is the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	6	14	And he shall offer his offering unto the LORD, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,
Numbers	Num	4	6	15	And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.
Numbers	Num	4	6	16	And the priest shall bring them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:
Numbers	Num	4	6	17	And he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.
Numbers	Num	4	6	18	And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it in the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.
Numbers	Num	4	6	19	And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after the hair of his separation is shaven:
Numbers	Num	4	6	20	And the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: this is holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.
Numbers	Num	4	6	21	This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, and of his offering unto the LORD for his separation, beside that that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.
Numbers	Num	4	6	22	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	6	23	Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
Numbers	Num	4	6	24	The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
Numbers	Num	4	6	25	The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
Numbers	Num	4	6	26	The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Numbers	Num	4	6	27	And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
Numbers	Num	4	7	1	And it came to pass on the day that Moses had fully set up the tabernacle, and had anointed it, and sanctified it, and all the instruments thereof, both the altar and all the vessels thereof, and had anointed them, and sanctified them;

Numbers	Num	4	7	4	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	7	5	Take it of them, that they may be to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; and thou shalt give them unto the Levites, to every man according to his service.

Numbers	Num	4	8	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	8	2	Speak unto Aaron, and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.
Numbers	Num	4	8	3	And Aaron did so; he lighted the lamps thereof over against the candlestick, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	8	4	And this work of the candlestick was of beaten gold, unto the shaft thereof, unto the flowers thereof, was beaten work: according unto the pattern which the LORD had shewed Moses, so he made the candlestick.
Numbers	Num	4	8	5	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	8	6	Take the Levites from among the children of Israel, and cleanse them.
Numbers	Num	4	8	7	And thus shalt thou do unto them, to cleanse them: Sprinkle water of purifying upon them, and let them shave all their flesh, and let them wash their clothes, and so make themselves clean.
Numbers	Num	4	8	8	Then let them take a young bullock with his meat offering, even fine flour mingled with oil, and another young bullock shalt thou take for a sin offering.
Numbers	Num	4	8	9	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt gather the whole assembly of the children of Israel together:
Numbers	Num	4	8	10	And thou shalt bring the Levites before the LORD: and the children of Israel shall put their hands upon the Levites:
Numbers	Num	4	8	11	And Aaron shall offer the Levites before the LORD for an offering of the children of Israel, that they may execute the service of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	8	12	And the Levites shall lay their hands upon the heads of the bullocks: and thou shalt offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, unto the LORD, to make an atonement for the Levites.
Numbers	Num	4	8	13	And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them for an offering unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	8	14	Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
Numbers	Num	4	8	15	And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them for an offering.
Numbers	Num	4	8	16	For they are wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, even instead of the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me.
Numbers	Num	4	8	17	For all the firstborn of the children of Israel are mine, both man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
Numbers	Num	4	8	18	And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	8	19	And I have given the Levites as a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
Numbers	Num	4	8	20	And Moses, and Aaron, and all the congregation of the children of Israel, did to the Levites according unto all that the LORD commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did the children of Israel unto them.
Numbers	Num	4	8	21	And the Levites were purified, and they washed their clothes; and Aaron offered them as an offering before the LORD; and Aaron made an atonement for them to cleanse them.
Numbers	Num	4	8	22	And after that went the Levites in to do their service in the tabernacle of the congregation before Aaron, and before his sons: as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so did they unto them.
Numbers	Num	4	8	23	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	8	24	This is it that belongeth unto the Levites: from twenty and five years old and upward they shall go in to wait upon the service of the tabernacle of the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	8	25	And from the age of fifty years they shall cease waiting upon the service thereof, and shall serve no more:
Numbers	Num	4	8	26	But shall minister with their brethren in the tabernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and shall do no service. Thus shalt thou do unto the Levites touching their charge.
Numbers	Num	4	9	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	9	2	Let the children of Israel also keep the passover at his appointed season.
Numbers	Num	4	9	3	In the fourteenth day of this month, at even, ye shall keep it in his appointed season: according to all the rites of it, and according to all the ceremonies thereof, shall ye keep it.
Numbers	Num	4	9	4	And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, that they should keep the passover.
Numbers	Num	4	9	5	And they kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month at even in the wilderness of Sinai: according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	9	6	And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passover on that day: and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:
Numbers	Num	4	9	7	And those men said unto him, We are defiled by the dead body of a man: wherefore are we kept back, that we may not offer an offering of the LORD in his appointed season among the children of Israel?
Numbers	Num	4	9	8	And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you.
Numbers	Num	4	9	9	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	9	10	Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passover unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	9	11	The fourteenth day of the second month at even they shall keep it, and eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.
Numbers	Num	4	9	12	They shall leave none of it unto the morning, nor break any bone of it: according to all the ordinances of the passover they shall keep it.
Numbers	Num	4	9	13	But the man that is clean, and is not in a journey, and forbeareth to keep the passover, even the same soul shall be cut off from among his people: because he brought not the offering of the LORD in his appointed season, that man shall bear his sin.
Numbers	Num	4	9	14	And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
Numbers	Num	4	9	15	And on the day that the tabernacle was reared up the cloud covered the tabernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning.
Numbers	Num	4	9	16	So it was alway: the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance of fire by night.
Numbers	Num	4	9	17	And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.
Numbers	Num	4	9	18	At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.
Numbers	Num	4	9	19	And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.
Numbers	Num	4	9	20	And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.
Numbers	Num	4	9	21	And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.
Numbers	Num	4	9	22	Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.
Numbers	Num	4	9	23	At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	10	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	10	2	Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.
Numbers	Num	4	10	3	And when they shall blow with them, all the assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	10	4	And if they blow but with one trumpet, then the princes, which are heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.
Numbers	Num	4	10	5	When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.
Numbers	Num	4	10	6	When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.
Numbers	Num	4	10	7	But when the congregation is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.
Numbers	Num	4	10	8	And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for an ordinance for ever throughout your generations.
Numbers	Num	4	10	9	And if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.
Numbers	Num	4	10	10	Also in the day of your gladness, and in your solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.
Numbers	Num	4	10	11	And it came to pass on the twentieth day of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off the tabernacle of the testimony.
Numbers	Num	4	10	12	And the children of Israel took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.
Numbers	Num	4	10	13	And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Numbers	Num	4	10	27	And over the host of the tribe of the children of Naphtali was Ahira the son of Enan.
Numbers	Num	4	10	28	Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when they set forward.
Numbers	Num	4	10	29	And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses' father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	10	30	And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.
Numbers	Num	4	10	31	And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.
Numbers	Num	4	10	32	And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.
Numbers	Num	4	10	33	And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days' journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days' journey, to search out a resting place for them.
Numbers	Num	4	10	34	And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	10	35	And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
Numbers	Num	4	10	36	And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	11	1	And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	11	2	And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched.
Numbers	Num	4	11	3	And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
Numbers	Num	4	11	4	And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat?
Numbers	Num	4	11	5	We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:
Numbers	Num	4	11	6	But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.
Numbers	Num	4	11	7	And the manna was as coriander seed, and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium.
Numbers	Num	4	11	8	And the people went about, and gathered it, and ground it in mills, or beat it in a mortar, and baked it in pans, and made cakes of it: and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil.
Numbers	Num	4	11	9	And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night, the manna fell upon it.
Numbers	Num	4	11	10	Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.
Numbers	Num	4	11	11	And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?
Numbers	Num	4	11	12	Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?
Numbers	Num	4	11	13	Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.
Numbers	Num	4	11	14	I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.
Numbers	Num	4	11	15	And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.
Numbers	Num	4	11	16	And the LORD said unto Moses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee.
Numbers	Num	4	11	17	And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
Numbers	Num	4	11	18	And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat? for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat.
Numbers	Num	4	11	19	Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days;
Numbers	Num	4	11	20	But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt?
Numbers	Num	4	11	21	And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month.
Numbers	Num	4	11	22	Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them? or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them?
Numbers	Num	4	11	23	And the LORD said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short? thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not.
Numbers	Num	4	11	24	And Moses went out, and told the people the words of the LORD, and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people, and set them round about the tabernacle.
Numbers	Num	4	11	25	And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.
Numbers	Num	4	11	26	But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	11	27	And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	11	28	And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
Numbers	Num	4	11	29	And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!
Numbers	Num	4	11	30	And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	11	31	And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth.
Numbers	Num	4	11	32	And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	11	33	And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague.
Numbers	Num	4	11	34	And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.
Numbers	Num	4	11	35	And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth; and abode at Hazeroth.
Numbers	Num	4	12	1	And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.
Numbers	Num	4	12	2	And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it.
Numbers	Num	4	12	3	(Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
Numbers	Num	4	12	4	And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and unto Miriam, Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation. And they three came out.
Numbers	Num	4	12	5	And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
Numbers	Num	4	12	6	And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
Numbers	Num	4	12	7	My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
Numbers	Num	4	12	8	With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Numbers	Num	4	12	9	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed.
Numbers	Num	4	12	10	And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.
Numbers	Num	4	12	11	And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.
Numbers	Num	4	12	12	Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
Numbers	Num	4	12	13	And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O God, I beseech thee.
Numbers	Num	4	12	14	And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.
Numbers	Num	4	12	15	And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.
Numbers	Num	4	12	16	And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.
Numbers	Num	4	13	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	13	2	Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them.
Numbers	Num	4	13	3	And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran: all those men were heads of the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	13	4	And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur.
Numbers	Num	4	13	5	Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori.
Numbers	Num	4	13	6	Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.

Numbers	Num	4	13	9	Of the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
Numbers	Num	4	13	10	Of the tribe of Zebulun, Gaddiel the son of Sodi.
Numbers	Num	4	13	11	Of the tribe of Joseph, namely, of the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi.
Numbers	Num	4	13	12	Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.
Numbers	Num	4	13	13	Of the tribe of Asher, Sethur the son of Michael.
Numbers	Num	4	13	14	Of the tribe of Naphtali, Nahbi the son of Vophsi.
Numbers	Num	4	13	15	Of the tribe of Gad, Geuel the son of Machi.
Numbers	Num	4	13	16	These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land. And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua.
Numbers	Num	4	13	17	And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said unto them, Get you up this way southward, and go up into the mountain:
Numbers	Num	4	13	18	And see the land, what it is; and the people that dwelleth therein, whether they be strong or weak, few or many;
Numbers	Num	4	13	19	And what the land is that they dwell in, whether it be good or bad; and what cities they be that they dwell in, whether in tents, or in strong holds;
Numbers	Num	4	13	20	And what the land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether there be wood therein, or not. And be ye of good courage, and bring of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes.
Numbers	Num	4	13	21	So they went up, and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob, as men come to Hamath.
Numbers	Num	4	13	22	And they ascended by the south, and came unto Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)
Numbers	Num	4	13	23	And they came unto the brook of Eshcol, and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes, and they bare it between two upon a staff; and they brought of the pomegranates, and of the figs.
Numbers	Num	4	13	24	The place was called the brook Eshcol, because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence.
Numbers	Num	4	13	25	And they returned from searching of the land after forty days.
Numbers	Num	4	13	26	And they went and came to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran, to Kadesh; and brought back word unto them, and unto all the congregation, and shewed them the fruit of the land.
Numbers	Num	4	13	27	And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Numbers	Num	4	13	28	Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great: and moreover we saw the children of Anak there.
Numbers	Num	4	13	29	The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south: and the Hittites, and the Jebusites, and the Amorites, dwell in the mountains: and the Canaanites dwell by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan.
Numbers	Num	4	13	30	And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
Numbers	Num	4	13	31	But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
Numbers	Num	4	13	32	And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.
Numbers	Num	4	13	33	And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers	Num	4	14	1	And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night.
Numbers	Num	4	14	2	And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness!
Numbers	Num	4	14	3	And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?
Numbers	Num	4	14	4	And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt.
Numbers	Num	4	14	5	Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	14	6	And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes:
Numbers	Num	4	14	7	And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
Numbers	Num	4	14	8	If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Numbers	Num	4	14	9	Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
Numbers	Num	4	14	10	But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	14	11	And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?
Numbers	Num	4	14	12	I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Numbers	Num	4	14	13	And Moses said unto the LORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them;)
Numbers	Num	4	14	14	And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this people, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night.
Numbers	Num	4	14	15	Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	14	16	Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.
Numbers	Num	4	14	17	And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my LORD be great, according as thou hast spoken, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	14	18	The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.
Numbers	Num	4	14	19	Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.
Numbers	Num	4	14	20	And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:
Numbers	Num	4	14	21	But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	14	22	Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
Numbers	Num	4	14	23	Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:
Numbers	Num	4	14	24	But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Numbers	Num	4	14	25	(Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt in the valley.) Tomorrow turn you, and get you into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Numbers	Num	4	14	26	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	14	27	How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
Numbers	Num	4	14	28	Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:
Numbers	Num	4	14	29	Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me,
Numbers	Num	4	14	30	Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers	Num	4	14	31	But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised.
Numbers	Num	4	14	32	But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness.
Numbers	Num	4	14	33	And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness.
Numbers	Num	4	14	34	After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise.
Numbers	Num	4	14	35	I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.
Numbers	Num	4	14	36	And the men, which Moses sent to search the land, who returned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slander upon the land,
Numbers	Num	4	14	37	Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	14	38	But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of the men that went to search the land, lived still.
Numbers	Num	4	14	39	And Moses told these sayings unto all the children of Israel: and the people mourned greatly.
Numbers	Num	4	14	40	And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned.
Numbers	Num	4	14	41	And Moses said, Wherefore now do ye transgress the commandment of the LORD? but it shall not prosper.
Numbers	Num	4	14	42	Go not up, for the LORD is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
Numbers	Num	4	14	43	For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from the LORD, therefore the LORD will not be with you.
Numbers	Num	4	14	44	But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	14	45	Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites which dwelt in that hill, and smote them, and discomfited them, even unto Hormah.
Numbers	Num	4	15	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	15	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
Numbers	Num	4	15	3	And will make an offering by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice in performing a vow, or in a freewill offering, or in your solemn feasts, to make a sweet savour unto the LORD, of the herd, or of the flock:
Numbers	Num	4	15	4	Then shall he that offereth his offering unto the LORD bring a meat offering of a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of an hin of oil.
Numbers	Num	4	15	5	And the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for one lamb.
Numbers	Num	4	15	6	Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meat offering two tenth deals of flour mingled with the third part of an hin of oil.
Numbers	Num	4	15	7	And for a drink offering thou shalt offer the third part of an hin of wine, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	15	8	And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice in performing a vow, or peace offerings unto the LORD:
Numbers	Num	4	15	9	Then shall he bring with a bullock a meat offering of three tenth deals of flour mingled with half an hin of oil.
Numbers	Num	4	15	10	And thou shalt bring for a drink offering half an hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	15	11	Thus shall it be done for one bullock, or for one ram, or for a lamb, or a kid.
Numbers	Num	4	15	12	According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
Numbers	Num	4	15	13	All that are born of the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	15	14	And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
Numbers	Num	4	15	15	One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	15	16	One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Numbers	Num	4	15	17	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	15	18	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
Numbers	Num	4	15	19	Then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up an heave offering unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	15	20	Ye shall offer up a cake of the first of your dough for an heave offering: as ye do the heave offering of the threshingfloor, so shall ye heave it.
Numbers	Num	4	15	21	Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto the LORD an heave offering in your generations.
Numbers	Num	4	15	22	And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses,
Numbers	Num	4	15	23	Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations;
Numbers	Num	4	15	24	Then it shall be, if ought be committed by ignorance without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering.
Numbers	Num	4	15	25	And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance:
Numbers	Num	4	15	26	And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; seeing all the people were in ignorance.
Numbers	Num	4	15	27	And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering.
Numbers	Num	4	15	28	And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven him.
Numbers	Num	4	15	29	Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
Numbers	Num	4	15	30	But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Numbers	Num	4	15	31	Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
Numbers	Num	4	15	32	And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
Numbers	Num	4	15	33	And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	15	34	And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.
Numbers	Num	4	15	35	And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	15	36	And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	15	37	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	15	38	Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
Numbers	Num	4	15	39	And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
Numbers	Num	4	15	40	That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
Numbers	Num	4	15	41	I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the LORD your God.
Numbers	Num	4	16	1	Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
Numbers	Num	4	16	2	And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
Numbers	Num	4	16	3	And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
Numbers	Num	4	16	4	And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face:
Numbers	Num	4	16	5	And he spake unto Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even to morrow the LORD will shew who are his, and who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will he cause to come near unto him.
Numbers	Num	4	16	6	This do; Take you censers, Korah, and all his company;
Numbers	Num	4	16	7	And put fire therein, and put incense in them before the LORD to morrow: and it shall be that the man whom the LORD doth choose, he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, ye sons of Levi.
Numbers	Num	4	16	8	And Moses said unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, ye sons of Levi:
Numbers	Num	4	16	9	Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the service of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them?
Numbers	Num	4	16	10	And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the sons of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priesthood also?
Numbers	Num	4	16	11	For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?
Numbers	Num	4	16	12	And Moses sent to call Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: which said, We will not come up:
Numbers	Num	4	16	13	Is it a small thing that thou hast brought us up out of a land that floweth with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, except thou make thyself altogether a prince over us?
Numbers	Num	4	16	14	Moreover thou hast not brought us into a land that floweth with milk and honey, or given us inheritance of fields and vineyards: wilt thou put out the eyes of these men? we will not come up.
Numbers	Num	4	16	15	And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the LORD, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.
Numbers	Num	4	16	16	And Moses said unto Korah, Be thou and all thy company before the LORD, thou, and they, and Aaron, to morrow:
Numbers	Num	4	16	17	And take every man his censer, and put incense in them, and bring ye before the LORD every man his censer, two hundred and fifty censers; thou also, and Aaron, each of you his censer.
Numbers	Num	4	16	18	And they took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid incense thereon, and stood in the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with Moses and Aaron.
Numbers	Num	4	16	19	And Korah gathered all the congregation against them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	16	20	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	16	21	Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.
Numbers	Num	4	16	22	And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?
Numbers	Num	4	16	23	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	16	24	Speak unto the congregation, saying, Get you up from about the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.
Numbers	Num	4	16	25	And Moses rose up and went unto Dathan and Abiram; and the elders of Israel followed him.
Numbers	Num	4	16	26	And he spake unto the congregation, saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs, lest ye be consumed in all their sins.
Numbers	Num	4	16	27	So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children.
Numbers	Num	4	16	28	And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
Numbers	Num	4	16	29	If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
Numbers	Num	4	16	30	But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	16	31	And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them:
Numbers	Num	4	16	32	And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Numbers	Num	4	16	33	They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	16	34	And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also.
Numbers	Num	4	16	35	And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.
Numbers	Num	4	16	36	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	16	37	Speak unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, that he take up the censers out of the burning, and scatter thou the fire yonder; for they are hallowed.
Numbers	Num	4	16	38	The censers of these sinners against their own souls, let them make them broad plates for a covering of the altar: for they offered them before the LORD, therefore they are hallowed: and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	16	39	And Eleazar the priest took the brasen censers, wherewith they that were burnt had offered; and they were made broad plates for a covering of the altar:
Numbers	Num	4	16	40	To be a memorial unto the children of Israel, that no stranger, which is not of the seed of Aaron, come near to offer incense before the LORD; that he be not as Korah, and as his company: as the LORD said to him by the hand of Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	16	41	But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	16	42	And it came to pass, when the congregation was gathered against Moses and against Aaron, that they looked toward the tabernacle of the congregation: and, behold, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD appeared.
Numbers	Num	4	16	43	And Moses and Aaron came before the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	16	44	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	16	45	Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
Numbers	Num	4	16	46	And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
Numbers	Num	4	16	47	And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
Numbers	Num	4	16	48	And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Numbers	Num	4	16	49	Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
Numbers	Num	4	16	50	And Aaron returned unto Moses unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and the plague was stayed.
Numbers	Num	4	17	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	17	2	Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod.
Numbers	Num	4	17	3	And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
Numbers	Num	4	17	4	And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Numbers	Num	4	17	5	And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you.
Numbers	Num	4	17	6	And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.
Numbers	Num	4	17	7	And Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness.
Numbers	Num	4	17	8	And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds.
Numbers	Num	4	17	9	And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod.
Numbers	Num	4	17	10	And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Numbers	Num	4	17	11	And Moses did so: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
Numbers	Num	4	17	12	And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish.
Numbers	Num	4	17	13	Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying?
Numbers	Num	4	18	1	And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
Numbers	Num	4	18	2	And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
Numbers	Num	4	18	3	And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
Numbers	Num	4	18	4	And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
Numbers	Num	4	18	5	And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	18	6	And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	18	7	Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Numbers	Num	4	18	8	And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
Numbers	Num	4	18	9	This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of theirs, every meat offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every trespass offering of theirs which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
Numbers	Num	4	18	10	In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
Numbers	Num	4	18	11	And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
Numbers	Num	4	18	12	All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the LORD, them have I given thee.
Numbers	Num	4	18	13	And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the LORD, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.
Numbers	Num	4	18	14	Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
Numbers	Num	4	18	15	Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the LORD, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
Numbers	Num	4	18	16	And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
Numbers	Num	4	18	17	But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	18	18	And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
Numbers	Num	4	18	19	All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
Numbers	Num	4	18	20	And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	18	21	And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	18	22	Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
Numbers	Num	4	18	23	But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	18	24	But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the LORD, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	18	25	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	18	26	Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the LORD, even a tenth part of the tithe.
Numbers	Num	4	18	27	And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
Numbers	Num	4	18	28	Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the LORD of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the LORD's heave offering to Aaron the priest.
Numbers	Num	4	18	29	Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the LORD, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
Numbers	Num	4	18	30	Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
Numbers	Num	4	18	31	And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	18	32	And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
Numbers	Num	4	19	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	19	2	This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
Numbers	Num	4	19	3	And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
Numbers	Num	4	19	4	And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
Numbers	Num	4	19	5	And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
Numbers	Num	4	19	6	And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
Numbers	Num	4	19	7	Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
Numbers	Num	4	19	8	And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
Numbers	Num	4	19	9	And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
Numbers	Num	4	19	10	And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
Numbers	Num	4	19	11	He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers	Num	4	19	12	He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
Numbers	Num	4	19	13	Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
Numbers	Num	4	19	14	This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers	Num	4	19	15	And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
Numbers	Num	4	19	16	And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
Numbers	Num	4	19	17	And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
Numbers	Num	4	19	18	And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
Numbers	Num	4	19	19	And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
Numbers	Num	4	19	20	But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
Numbers	Num	4	19	21	And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
Numbers	Num	4	19	22	And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
Numbers	Num	4	20	1	Then came the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, into the desert of Zin in the first month: and the people abode in Kadesh; and Miriam died there, and was buried there.
Numbers	Num	4	20	2	And there was no water for the congregation: and they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron.
Numbers	Num	4	20	3	And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the LORD!
Numbers	Num	4	20	4	And why have ye brought up the congregation of the LORD into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die there?
Numbers	Num	4	20	5	And wherefore have ye made us to come up out of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place? it is no place of seed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegranates; neither is there any water to drink.
Numbers	Num	4	20	6	And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.
Numbers	Num	4	20	7	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	20	8	Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.
Numbers	Num	4	20	9	And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
Numbers	Num	4	20	10	And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
Numbers	Num	4	20	11	And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts also.
Numbers	Num	4	20	12	And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.
Numbers	Num	4	20	13	This is the water of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with the LORD, and he was sanctified in them.
Numbers	Num	4	20	14	And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:
Numbers	Num	4	20	15	How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:
Numbers	Num	4	20	16	And when we cried unto the LORD, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:
Numbers	Num	4	20	17	Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king's high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.
Numbers	Num	4	20	18	And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.
Numbers	Num	4	20	19	And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing anything else, go through on my feet.
Numbers	Num	4	20	20	And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.
Numbers	Num	4	20	21	Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
Numbers	Num	4	20	22	And the children of Israel, even the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh, and came unto mount Hor.
Numbers	Num	4	20	23	And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in mount Hor, by the coast of the land of Edom, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	20	24	Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled against my word at the water of Meribah.
Numbers	Num	4	20	25	Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up unto mount Hor:
Numbers	Num	4	20	26	And strip Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son: and Aaron shall be gathered unto his people, and shall die there.
Numbers	Num	4	20	27	And Moses did as the LORD commanded: and they went up into mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	20	28	And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them upon Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.
Numbers	Num	4	20	29	And when all the congregation saw that Aaron was dead, they mourned for Aaron thirty days, even all the house of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	21	1	And when king Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south, heard tell that Israel came by the way of the spies; then he fought against Israel, and took some of them prisoners.
Numbers	Num	4	21	2	And Israel vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.
Numbers	Num	4	21	3	And the LORD hearkened to the voice of Israel, and delivered up the Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed them and their cities: and he called the name of the place Hormah.
Numbers	Num	4	21	4	And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
Numbers	Num	4	21	5	And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
Numbers	Num	4	21	6	And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Numbers	Num	4	21	7	Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.
Numbers	Num	4	21	8	And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Numbers	Num	4	21	9	And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
Numbers	Num	4	21	10	And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in Oboth.
Numbers	Num	4	21	11	And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched at Ijeabarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrising.
Numbers	Num	4	21	12	From thence they removed, and pitched in the valley of Zared.
Numbers	Num	4	21	13	From thence they removed, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, which is in the wilderness that cometh out of the coasts of the Amorites: for Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.
Numbers	Num	4	21	14	Wherefore it is said in the book of the wars of the LORD, What he did in the Red sea, and in the brooks of Arnon,
Numbers	Num	4	21	15	And at the stream of the brooks that goeth down to the dwelling of Ar, and lieth upon the border of Moab.
Numbers	Num	4	21	16	And from thence they went to Beer: that is the well whereof the LORD spake unto Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.
Numbers	Num	4	21	17	Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
Numbers	Num	4	21	18	The princes digged the well, the nobles of the people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves. And from the wilderness they went to Mattanah:
Numbers	Num	4	21	19	And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:
Numbers	Num	4	21	20	And from Bamoth in the valley, that is in the country of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, which looketh toward Jeshimon.
Numbers	Num	4	21	21	And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	21	22	Let me pass through thy land: we will not turn into the fields, or into the vineyards; we will not drink of the waters of the well: but we will go along by the king's high way, until we be past thy borders.
Numbers	Num	4	21	23	And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	21	24	And Israel smote him with the edge of the sword, and possessed his land from Arnon unto Jabbok, even unto the children of Ammon: for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.
Numbers	Num	4	21	25	And Israel took all these cities: and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon, and in all the villages thereof.
Numbers	Num	4	21	26	For Heshbon was the city of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even unto Arnon.
Numbers	Num	4	21	27	Wherefore they that speak in proverbs say, Come into Heshbon, let the city of Sihon be built and prepared:
Numbers	Num	4	21	28	For there is a fire gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the city of Sihon: it hath consumed Ar of Moab, and the lords of the high places of Arnon.
Numbers	Num	4	21	29	Woe to thee, Moab! thou art undone, O people of Chemosh: he hath given his sons that escaped, and his daughters, into captivity unto Sihon king of the Amorites.
Numbers	Num	4	21	30	We have shot at them; Heshbon is perished even unto Dibon, and we have laid them waste even unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba.
Numbers	Num	4	21	31	Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.
Numbers	Num	4	21	32	And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.
Numbers	Num	4	21	33	And they turned and went up by the way of Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan went out against them, he, and all his people, to the battle at Edrei.
Numbers	Num	4	21	34	And the LORD said unto Moses, Fear him not: for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his people, and his land; and thou shalt do to him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Numbers	Num	4	21	35	So they smote him, and his sons, and all his people, until there was none left him alive: and they possessed his land.
Numbers	Num	4	22	1	And the children of Israel set forward, and pitched in the plains of Moab on this side Jordan by Jericho.
Numbers	Num	4	22	2	And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.
Numbers	Num	4	22	3	And Moab was sore afraid of the people, because they were many: and Moab was distressed because of the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	22	4	And Moab said unto the elders of Midian, Now shall this company lick up all that are round about us, as the ox licketh up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.
Numbers	Num	4	22	5	He sent messengers therefore unto Balaam the son of Beor to Pethor, which is by the river of the land of the children of his people, to call him, saying, Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt: behold, they cover the face of the earth, and they abide over against me:
Numbers	Num	4	22	6	Come now therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people; for they are too mighty for me: peradventure I shall prevail, that we may smite them, and that I may drive them out of the land: for I wot that he whom thou blessest is blessed, and he whom thou cursest is cursed.
Numbers	Num	4	22	7	And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the rewards of divination in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
Numbers	Num	4	22	8	And he said unto them, Lodge here this night, and I will bring you word again, as the LORD shall speak unto me: and the princes of Moab abode with Balaam.
Numbers	Num	4	22	9	And God came unto Balaam, and said, What men are these with thee?
Numbers	Num	4	22	10	And Balaam said unto God, Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, hath sent unto me, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	22	11	Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, which covereth the face of the earth: come now, curse me them; peradventure I shall be able to overcome them, and drive them out.
Numbers	Num	4	22	12	And God said unto Balaam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed.
Numbers	Num	4	22	13	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and said unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land: for the LORD refuseth to give me leave to go with you.
Numbers	Num	4	22	14	And the princes of Moab rose up, and they went unto Balak, and said, Balaam refuseth to come with us.
Numbers	Num	4	22	15	And Balak sent yet again princes, more, and more honourable than they.
Numbers	Num	4	22	16	And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me:
Numbers	Num	4	22	17	For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou sayest unto me: come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people.
Numbers	Num	4	22	18	And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.
Numbers	Num	4	22	19	Now therefore, I pray you, tarry ye also here this night, that I may know what the LORD will say unto me more.
Numbers	Num	4	22	20	And God came unto Balaam at night, and said unto him, If the men come to call thee, rise up, and go with them; but yet the word which I shall say unto thee, that shalt thou do.
Numbers	Num	4	22	21	And Balaam rose up in the morning, and saddled his ass, and went with the princes of Moab.
Numbers	Num	4	22	22	And God's anger was kindled because he went: and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants were with him.
Numbers	Num	4	22	23	And the ass saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and the ass turned aside out of the way, and went into the field: and Balaam smote the ass, to turn her into the way.
Numbers	Num	4	22	24	But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on this side, and a wall on that side.
Numbers	Num	4	22	25	And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she thrust herself unto the wall, and crushed Balaam's foot against the wall: and he smote her again.
Numbers	Num	4	22	26	And the angel of the LORD went further, and stood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn either to the right hand or to the left.
Numbers	Num	4	22	27	And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.
Numbers	Num	4	22	28	And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?
Numbers	Num	4	22	29	And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.
Numbers	Num	4	22	30	And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay.
Numbers	Num	4	22	31	Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.
Numbers	Num	4	22	32	And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me:
Numbers	Num	4	22	33	And the ass saw me, and turned from me these three times: unless she had turned from me, surely now also I had slain thee, and saved her alive.
Numbers	Num	4	22	34	And Balaam said unto the angel of the LORD, I have sinned; for I knew not that thou stoodest in the way against me: now therefore, if it displease thee, I will get me back again.
Numbers	Num	4	22	35	And the angel of the LORD said unto Balaam, Go with the men: but only the word that I shall speak unto thee, that thou shalt speak. So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.
Numbers	Num	4	22	36	And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is in the border of Arnon, which is in the utmost coast.
Numbers	Num	4	22	37	And Balak said unto Balaam, Did I not earnestly send unto thee to call thee? wherefore camest thou not unto me? am I not able indeed to promote thee to honour?
Numbers	Num	4	22	38	And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.
Numbers	Num	4	22	39	And Balaam went with Balak, and they came unto Kirjathhuzoth.
Numbers	Num	4	22	40	And Balak offered oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam, and to the princes that were with him.
Numbers	Num	4	22	41	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Balak took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places of Baal, that thence he might see the utmost part of the people.
Numbers	Num	4	23	1	And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams.
Numbers	Num	4	23	2	And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram.
Numbers	Num	4	23	3	And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place.
Numbers	Num	4	23	4	And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram.
Numbers	Num	4	23	5	And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak.
Numbers	Num	4	23	6	And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab.
Numbers	Num	4	23	7	And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	23	8	How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
Numbers	Num	4	23	9	For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
Numbers	Num	4	23	10	Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his!
Numbers	Num	4	23	11	And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether.
Numbers	Num	4	23	12	And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
Numbers	Num	4	23	13	And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence.
Numbers	Num	4	23	14	And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Numbers	Num	4	23	15	And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder.
Numbers	Num	4	23	16	And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus.
Numbers	Num	4	23	17	And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken?
Numbers	Num	4	23	18	And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor:
Numbers	Num	4	23	19	God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Numbers	Num	4	23	20	Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.
Numbers	Num	4	23	21	He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.
Numbers	Num	4	23	22	God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Numbers	Num	4	23	23	Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!
Numbers	Num	4	23	24	Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain.
Numbers	Num	4	23	25	And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all.
Numbers	Num	4	23	26	But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do?
Numbers	Num	4	23	27	And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence.
Numbers	Num	4	23	28	And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon.
Numbers	Num	4	23	29	And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams.
Numbers	Num	4	23	30	And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
Numbers	Num	4	24	1	And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness.
Numbers	Num	4	24	2	And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him.
Numbers	Num	4	24	3	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
Numbers	Num	4	24	4	He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
Numbers	Num	4	24	5	How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel!
Numbers	Num	4	24	6	As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.
Numbers	Num	4	24	7	He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted.
Numbers	Num	4	24	8	God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.
Numbers	Num	4	24	9	He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
Numbers	Num	4	24	10	And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times.
Numbers	Num	4	24	11	Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour.
Numbers	Num	4	24	12	And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	24	13	If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
Numbers	Num	4	24	14	And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
Numbers	Num	4	24	15	And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said:
Numbers	Num	4	24	16	He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open:
Numbers	Num	4	24	17	I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.
Numbers	Num	4	24	18	And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.
Numbers	Num	4	24	19	Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city.
Numbers	Num	4	24	20	And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
Numbers	Num	4	24	21	And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock.
Numbers	Num	4	24	22	Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive.
Numbers	Num	4	24	23	And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this!
Numbers	Num	4	24	24	And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever.
Numbers	Num	4	24	25	And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
Numbers	Num	4	25	1	And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
Numbers	Num	4	25	2	And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
Numbers	Num	4	25	3	And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	25	4	And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	25	5	And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
Numbers	Num	4	25	6	And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Numbers	Num	4	25	7	And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand;
Numbers	Num	4	25	8	And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	25	9	And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand.
Numbers	Num	4	25	10	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	25	11	Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy.
Numbers	Num	4	25	12	Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:
Numbers	Num	4	25	13	And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	25	14	Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites.
Numbers	Num	4	25	15	And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
Numbers	Num	4	25	16	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	25	17	Vex the Midianites, and smite them:
Numbers	Num	4	25	18	For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
Numbers	Num	4	26	1	And it came to pass after the plague, that the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	26	2	Take the sum of all the congregation of the children of Israel, from twenty years old and upward, throughout their fathers' house, all that are able to go to war in Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	26	3	And Moses and Eleazar the priest spake with them in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,

Numbers	Num	4	26	55	Notwithstanding the land shall be divided by lot: according to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit.

Numbers	Num	4	27	17	Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd.
Numbers	Num	4	27	18	And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
Numbers	Num	4	27	19	And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
Numbers	Num	4	27	20	And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient.

Numbers	Num	4	27	22	And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	27	23	And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	28	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	28	2	Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, My offering, and my bread for my sacrifices made by fire, for a sweet savour unto me, shall ye observe to offer unto me in their due season.
Numbers	Num	4	28	3	And thou shalt say unto them, This is the offering made by fire which ye shall offer unto the LORD; two lambs of the first year without spot day by day, for a continual burnt offering.
Numbers	Num	4	28	4	The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at even;
Numbers	Num	4	28	5	And a tenth part of an ephah of flour for a meat offering, mingled with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil.
Numbers	Num	4	28	6	It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in mount Sinai for a sweet savour, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD.

Numbers	Num	4	28	8	And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and as the drink offering thereof, thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	28	9	And on the sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof:

Numbers	Num	4	28	23	Ye shall offer these beside the burnt offering in the morning, which is for a continual burnt offering.
Numbers	Num	4	28	24	After this manner ye shall offer daily, throughout the seven days, the meat of the sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD: it shall be offered beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering.
Numbers	Num	4	28	25	And on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

Numbers	Num	4	29	7	And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:

Numbers	Num	4	29	39	These things ye shall do unto the LORD in your set feasts, beside your vows, and your freewill offerings, for your burnt offerings, and for your meat offerings, and for your drink offerings, and for your peace offerings.
Numbers	Num	4	29	40	And Moses told the children of Israel according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	30	1	And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
Numbers	Num	4	30	2	If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.
Numbers	Num	4	30	3	If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth;
Numbers	Num	4	30	4	And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
Numbers	Num	4	30	5	But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
Numbers	Num	4	30	6	And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
Numbers	Num	4	30	7	And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
Numbers	Num	4	30	8	But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.
Numbers	Num	4	30	9	But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
Numbers	Num	4	30	10	And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;
Numbers	Num	4	30	11	And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
Numbers	Num	4	30	12	But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
Numbers	Num	4	30	13	Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.
Numbers	Num	4	30	14	But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard them.
Numbers	Num	4	30	15	But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them; then he shall bear her iniquity.
Numbers	Num	4	30	16	These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in her father's house.
Numbers	Num	4	31	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	31	2	Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be gathered unto thy people.
Numbers	Num	4	31	3	And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
Numbers	Num	4	31	4	Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
Numbers	Num	4	31	5	So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
Numbers	Num	4	31	6	And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
Numbers	Num	4	31	7	And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
Numbers	Num	4	31	8	And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
Numbers	Num	4	31	9	And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
Numbers	Num	4	31	10	And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.
Numbers	Num	4	31	11	And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts.
Numbers	Num	4	31	12	And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
Numbers	Num	4	31	13	And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	31	14	And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
Numbers	Num	4	31	15	And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
Numbers	Num	4	31	16	Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	31	17	Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
Numbers	Num	4	31	18	But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Numbers	Num	4	31	19	And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
Numbers	Num	4	31	20	And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
Numbers	Num	4	31	21	And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
Numbers	Num	4	31	22	Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,
Numbers	Num	4	31	23	Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go through the water.
Numbers	Num	4	31	24	And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.
Numbers	Num	4	31	25	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	31	26	Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	31	27	And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
Numbers	Num	4	31	28	And levy a tribute unto the Lord of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:
Numbers	Num	4	31	29	Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an heave offering of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	31	30	And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	31	31	And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	31	32	And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
Numbers	Num	4	31	33	And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
Numbers	Num	4	31	34	And threescore and one thousand asses,
Numbers	Num	4	31	35	And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
Numbers	Num	4	31	36	And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep:
Numbers	Num	4	31	37	And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.
Numbers	Num	4	31	38	And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and twelve.
Numbers	Num	4	31	39	And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
Numbers	Num	4	31	40	And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was thirty and two persons.
Numbers	Num	4	31	41	And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	31	42	And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred,
Numbers	Num	4	31	43	(Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
Numbers	Num	4	31	44	And thirty and six thousand beeves,
Numbers	Num	4	31	45	And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
Numbers	Num	4	31	46	And sixteen thousand persons;)
Numbers	Num	4	31	47	Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
Numbers	Num	4	31	48	And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
Numbers	Num	4	31	49	And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
Numbers	Num	4	31	50	We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	31	51	And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all wrought jewels.
Numbers	Num	4	31	52	And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
Numbers	Num	4	31	53	(For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
Numbers	Num	4	31	54	And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	32	1	Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle;
Numbers	Num	4	32	2	The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar the priest, and unto the princes of the congregation, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	32	3	Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Shebam, and Nebo, and Beon,
Numbers	Num	4	32	4	Even the country which the LORD smote before the congregation of Israel, is a land for cattle, and thy servants have cattle:
Numbers	Num	4	32	5	Wherefore, said they, if we have found grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto thy servants for a possession, and bring us not over Jordan.
Numbers	Num	4	32	6	And Moses said unto the children of Gad and to the children of Reuben, Shall your brethren go to war, and shall ye sit here?
Numbers	Num	4	32	7	And wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which the LORD hath given them?
Numbers	Num	4	32	8	Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadeshbarnea to see the land.
Numbers	Num	4	32	9	For when they went up unto the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the LORD had given them.
Numbers	Num	4	32	10	And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	32	11	Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Numbers	Num	4	32	12	Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	32	13	And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.
Numbers	Num	4	32	14	And, behold, ye are risen up in your fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to augment yet the fierce anger of the LORD toward Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	32	15	For if ye turn away from after him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people.
Numbers	Num	4	32	16	And they came near unto him, and said, We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and cities for our little ones:
Numbers	Num	4	32	17	But we ourselves will go ready armed before the children of Israel, until we have brought them unto their place: and our little ones shall dwell in the fenced cities because of the inhabitants of the land.
Numbers	Num	4	32	18	We will not return unto our houses, until the children of Israel have inherited every man his inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	32	19	For we will not inherit with them on yonder side Jordan, or forward; because our inheritance is fallen to us on this side Jordan eastward.
Numbers	Num	4	32	20	And Moses said unto them, If ye will do this thing, if ye will go armed before the LORD to war,
Numbers	Num	4	32	21	And will go all of you armed over Jordan before the LORD, until he hath driven out his enemies from before him,
Numbers	Num	4	32	22	And the land be subdued before the LORD: then afterward ye shall return, and be guiltless before the LORD, and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before the LORD.
Numbers	Num	4	32	23	But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
Numbers	Num	4	32	24	Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep; and do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth.
Numbers	Num	4	32	25	And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants will do as my lord commandeth.
Numbers	Num	4	32	26	Our little ones, our wives, our flocks, and all our cattle, shall be there in the cities of Gilead:
Numbers	Num	4	32	27	But thy servants will pass over, every man armed for war, before the LORD to battle, as my lord saith.
Numbers	Num	4	32	28	So concerning them Moses commanded Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel:
Numbers	Num	4	32	29	And Moses said unto them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass with you over Jordan, every man armed to battle, before the LORD, and the land shall be subdued before you; then ye shall give them the land of Gilead for a possession:
Numbers	Num	4	32	30	But if they will not pass over with you armed, they shall have possessions among you in the land of Canaan.
Numbers	Num	4	32	31	And the children of Gad and the children of Reuben answered, saying, As the LORD hath said unto thy servants, so will we do.
Numbers	Num	4	32	32	We will pass over armed before the LORD into the land of Canaan, that the possession of our inheritance on this side Jordan may be ours.
Numbers	Num	4	32	33	And Moses gave unto them, even to the children of Gad, and to the children of Reuben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, and the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, the land, with the cities thereof in the coasts, even the cities of the country round about.
Numbers	Num	4	32	34	And the children of Gad built Dibon, and Ataroth, and Aroer,
Numbers	Num	4	32	35	And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and Jogbehah,
Numbers	Num	4	32	36	And Bethnimrah, and Bethharan, fenced cities: and folds for sheep.
Numbers	Num	4	32	37	And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim,
Numbers	Num	4	32	38	And Nebo, and Baalmeon, (their names being changed,) and Shibmah: and gave other names unto the cities which they builded.
Numbers	Num	4	32	39	And the children of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead, and took it, and dispossessed the Amorite which was in it.
Numbers	Num	4	32	40	And Moses gave Gilead unto Machir the son of Manasseh; and he dwelt therein.
Numbers	Num	4	32	41	And Jair the son of Manasseh went and took the small towns thereof, and called them Havothjair.
Numbers	Num	4	32	42	And Nobah went and took Kenath, and the villages thereof, and called it Nobah, after his own name.
Numbers	Num	4	33	1	These are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Numbers	Num	4	33	2	And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
Numbers	Num	4	33	3	And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians.
Numbers	Num	4	33	4	For the Egyptians buried all their firstborn, which the LORD had smitten among them: upon their gods also the LORD executed judgments.
Numbers	Num	4	33	5	And the children of Israel removed from Rameses, and pitched in Succoth.
Numbers	Num	4	33	6	And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham, which is in the edge of the wilderness.

Numbers	Num	4	33	48	And they departed from the mountains of Abarim, and pitched in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
Numbers	Num	4	33	49	And they pitched by Jordan, from Bethjesimoth even unto Abelshittim in the plains of Moab.
Numbers	Num	4	33	50	And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	33	51	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are passed over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Numbers	Num	4	33	52	Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you, and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images, and quite pluck down all their high places:
Numbers	Num	4	33	53	And ye shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land, and dwell therein: for I have given you the land to possess it.
Numbers	Num	4	33	54	And ye shall divide the land by lot for an inheritance among your families: and to the more ye shall give the more inheritance, and to the fewer ye shall give the less inheritance: every man's inheritance shall be in the place where his lot falleth; according to the tribes of your fathers ye shall inherit.
Numbers	Num	4	33	55	But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
Numbers	Num	4	33	56	Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
Numbers	Num	4	34	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	34	2	Command the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land that shall fall unto you for an inheritance, even the land of Canaan with the coasts thereof:)
Numbers	Num	4	34	3	Then your south quarter shall be from the wilderness of Zin along by the coast of Edom, and your south border shall be the outmost coast of the salt sea eastward:
Numbers	Num	4	34	4	And your border shall turn from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and pass on to Zin: and the going forth thereof shall be from the south to Kadeshbarnea, and shall go on to Hazaraddar, and pass on to Azmon:
Numbers	Num	4	34	5	And the border shall fetch a compass from Azmon unto the river of Egypt, and the goings out of it shall be at the sea.
Numbers	Num	4	34	6	And as for the western border, ye shall even have the great sea for a border: this shall be your west border.
Numbers	Num	4	34	7	And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
Numbers	Num	4	34	8	From mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad:
Numbers	Num	4	34	9	And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan: this shall be your north border.
Numbers	Num	4	34	10	And ye shall point out your east border from Hazarenan to Shepham:
Numbers	Num	4	34	11	And the coast shall go down from Shepham to Riblah, on the east side of Ain; and the border shall descend, and shall reach unto the side of the sea of Chinnereth eastward:
Numbers	Num	4	34	12	And the border shall go down to Jordan, and the goings out of it shall be at the salt sea: this shall be your land with the coasts thereof round about.
Numbers	Num	4	34	13	And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying, This is the land which ye shall inherit by lot, which the LORD commanded to give unto the nine tribes, and to the half tribe:
Numbers	Num	4	34	14	For the tribe of the children of Reuben according to the house of their fathers, and the tribe of the children of Gad according to the house of their fathers, have received their inheritance; and half the tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance:
Numbers	Num	4	34	15	The two tribes and the half tribe have received their inheritance on this side Jordan near Jericho eastward, toward the sunrising.
Numbers	Num	4	34	16	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	34	17	These are the names of the men which shall divide the land unto you: Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun.
Numbers	Num	4	34	18	And ye shall take one prince of every tribe, to divide the land by inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	34	19	And the names of the men are these: Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.
Numbers	Num	4	34	20	And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel the son of Ammihud.
Numbers	Num	4	34	21	Of the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon.
Numbers	Num	4	34	22	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Dan, Bukki the son of Jogli.
Numbers	Num	4	34	23	The prince of the children of Joseph, for the tribe of the children of Manasseh, Hanniel the son of Ephod.
Numbers	Num	4	34	24	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Ephraim, Kemuel the son of Shiphtan.
Numbers	Num	4	34	25	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Zebulun, Elizaphan the son of Parnach.
Numbers	Num	4	34	26	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan.
Numbers	Num	4	34	27	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Asher, Ahihud the son of Shelomi.
Numbers	Num	4	34	28	And the prince of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, Pedahel the son of Ammihud.
Numbers	Num	4	34	29	These are they whom the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.
Numbers	Num	4	35	1	And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	35	2	Command the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
Numbers	Num	4	35	3	And the cities shall they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all their beasts.
Numbers	Num	4	35	4	And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
Numbers	Num	4	35	5	And ye shall measure from without the city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits; and the city shall be in the midst: this shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
Numbers	Num	4	35	6	And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
Numbers	Num	4	35	7	So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
Numbers	Num	4	35	8	And the cities which ye shall give shall be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance which he inheriteth.
Numbers	Num	4	35	9	And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Numbers	Num	4	35	10	Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
Numbers	Num	4	35	11	Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
Numbers	Num	4	35	12	And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
Numbers	Num	4	35	13	And of these cities which ye shall give six cities shall ye have for refuge.
Numbers	Num	4	35	14	Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
Numbers	Num	4	35	15	These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
Numbers	Num	4	35	16	And if he smite him with an instrument of iron, so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers	Num	4	35	17	And if he smite him with throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers	Num	4	35	18	Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
Numbers	Num	4	35	19	The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
Numbers	Num	4	35	20	But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;
Numbers	Num	4	35	21	Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him.
Numbers	Num	4	35	22	But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait,
Numbers	Num	4	35	23	Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
Numbers	Num	4	35	24	Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
Numbers	Num	4	35	25	And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
Numbers	Num	4	35	26	But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
Numbers	Num	4	35	27	And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
Numbers	Num	4	35	28	Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
Numbers	Num	4	35	29	So these things shall be for a statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Numbers	Num	4	35	30	Whoso killeth any person, the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.
Numbers	Num	4	35	31	Moreover ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he shall be surely put to death.
Numbers	Num	4	35	32	And ye shall take no satisfaction for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest.
Numbers	Num	4	35	33	So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Numbers	Num	4	35	34	Defile not therefore the land which ye shall inhabit, wherein I dwell: for I the LORD dwell among the children of Israel.
Numbers	Num	4	36	1	And the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near, and spake before Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel:
Numbers	Num	4	36	2	And they said, The LORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelophehad our brother unto his daughters.
Numbers	Num	4	36	3	And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	36	4	And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.
Numbers	Num	4	36	5	And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the LORD, saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.
Numbers	Num	4	36	6	This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry.
Numbers	Num	4	36	7	So shall not the inheritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.
Numbers	Num	4	36	8	And every daughter, that possesseth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers.
Numbers	Num	4	36	9	Neither shall the inheritance remove from one tribe to another tribe; but every one of the tribes of the children of Israel shall keep himself to his own inheritance.
Numbers	Num	4	36	10	Even as the LORD commanded Moses, so did the daughters of Zelophehad:
Numbers	Num	4	36	11	For Mahlah, Tirzah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad, were married unto their father's brothers' sons:
Numbers	Num	4	36	12	And they were married into the families of the sons of Manasseh the son of Joseph, and their inheritance remained in the tribe of the family of their father.
Numbers	Num	4	36	13	These are the commandments and the judgments, which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses unto the children of Israel in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	1	These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	2	(There are eleven days' journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadeshbarnea.)
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	3	And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	4	After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	5	On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	6	The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	7	Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	8	Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	9	And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	10	The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	11	(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	12	How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	13	Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	14	And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	15	So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	16	And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	17	Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	18	And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	19	And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	20	And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	21	Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	22	And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	23	And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	24	And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	25	And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	26	Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	27	And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	28	Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	29	Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	30	The LORD your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	31	And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	32	Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	33	Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	34	And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	35	Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	36	Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	37	Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	38	But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	39	Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	40	But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	41	Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	42	And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	43	So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	44	And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	45	And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	1	46	So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	1	Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	2	And the LORD spake unto me, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	3	Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	4	And command thou the people, saying, Ye are to pass through the coast of your brethren the children of Esau, which dwell in Seir; and they shall be afraid of you: take ye good heed unto yourselves therefore:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	5	Meddle not with them; for I will not give you of their land, no, not so much as a foot breadth; because I have given mount Seir unto Esau for a possession.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	6	Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that ye may eat; and ye shall also buy water of them for money, that ye may drink.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	7	For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	8	And when we passed by from our brethren the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, through the way of the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	9	And the LORD said unto me, Distress not the Moabites, neither contend with them in battle: for I will not give thee of their land for a possession; because I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a possession.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	10	The Emims dwelt therein in times past, a people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	11	Which also were accounted giants, as the Anakims; but the Moabites call them Emims.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	12	The Horims also dwelt in Seir beforetime; but the children of Esau succeeded them, when they had destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their stead; as Israel did unto the land of his possession, which the LORD gave unto them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	13	Now rise up, said I, and get you over the brook Zered. And we went over the brook Zered.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	14	And the space in which we came from Kadeshbarnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, was thirty and eight years; until all the generation of the men of war were wasted out from among the host, as the LORD sware unto them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	15	For indeed the hand of the LORD was against them, to destroy them from among the host, until they were consumed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	16	So it came to pass, when all the men of war were consumed and dead from among the people,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	17	That the LORD spake unto me, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	18	Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast of Moab, this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	19	And when thou comest nigh over against the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor meddle with them: for I will not give thee of the land of the children of Ammon any possession; because I have given it unto the children of Lot for a possession.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	20	(That also was accounted a land of giants: giants dwelt therein in old time; and the Ammonites call them Zamzummims;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	21	A people great, and many, and tall, as the Anakims; but the LORD destroyed them before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	22	As he did to the children of Esau, which dwelt in Seir, when he destroyed the Horims from before them; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in their stead even unto this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	23	And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out of Caphtor, destroyed them, and dwelt in their stead.)
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	24	Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	25	This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	26	And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	27	Let me pass through thy land: I will go along by the high way, I will neither turn unto the right hand nor to the left.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	28	Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that I may eat; and give me water for money, that I may drink: only I will pass through on my feet;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	29	(As the children of Esau which dwell in Seir, and the Moabites which dwell in Ar, did unto me;) until I shall pass over Jordan into the land which the LORD our God giveth us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	30	But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	31	And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before thee: begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit his land.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	32	Then Sihon came out against us, he and all his people, to fight at Jahaz.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	33	And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	34	And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	35	Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	36	From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even unto Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us: the LORD our God delivered all unto us:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	2	37	Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the LORD our God forbad us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	1	Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan: and Og the king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	2	And the LORD said unto me, Fear him not: for I will deliver him, and all his people, and his land, into thy hand; and thou shalt do unto him as thou didst unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	3	So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	4	And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	5	All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	6	And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	7	But all the cattle, and the spoil of the cities, we took for a prey to ourselves.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	8	And we took at that time out of the hand of the two kings of the Amorites the land that was on this side Jordan, from the river of Arnon unto mount Hermon;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	9	(Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir;)
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	10	All the cities of the plain, and all Gilead, and all Bashan, unto Salchah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	11	For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	12	And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half mount Gilead, and the cities thereof, gave I unto the Reubenites and to the Gadites.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	13	And the rest of Gilead, and all Bashan, being the kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manasseh; all the region of Argob, with all Bashan, which was called the land of giants.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	14	Jair the son of Manasseh took all the country of Argob unto the coasts of Geshuri and Maachathi; and called them after his own name, Bashanhavothjair, unto this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	15	And I gave Gilead unto Machir.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	16	And unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites I gave from Gilead even unto the river Arnon half the valley, and the border even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	17	The plain also, and Jordan, and the coast thereof, from Chinnereth even unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, under Ashdothpisgah eastward.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	18	And I commanded you at that time, saying, The LORD your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	19	But your wives, and your little ones, and your cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) shall abide in your cities which I have given you;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	20	Until the LORD have given rest unto your brethren, as well as unto you, and until they also possess the land which the LORD your God hath given them beyond Jordan: and then shall ye return every man unto his possession, which I have given you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	21	And I commanded Joshua at that time, saying, Thine eyes have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto these two kings: so shall the LORD do unto all the kingdoms whither thou passest.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	22	Ye shall not fear them: for the LORD your God he shall fight for you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	23	And I besought the LORD at that time, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	24	O Lord GOD, thou hast begun to shew thy servant thy greatness, and thy mighty hand: for what God is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy might?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	25	I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	26	But the LORD was wroth with me for your sakes, and would not hear me: and the LORD said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	27	Get thee up into the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold it with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	28	But charge Joshua, and encourage him, and strengthen him: for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which thou shalt see.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	3	29	So we abode in the valley over against Bethpeor.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	1	Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	2	Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	3	Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	4	But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	5	Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	6	Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	7	For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	8	And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	9	Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	10	Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	11	And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	12	And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	13	And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	14	And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	15	Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	16	Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	17	The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	18	The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	19	And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	20	But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	21	Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	22	But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	23	Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	24	For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	25	When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	26	I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	27	And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	28	And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	29	But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	30	When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	31	(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	32	For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	33	Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	34	Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	35	Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	36	Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	37	And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	38	To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	39	Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	40	Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	41	Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	42	That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	43	Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	44	And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	45	These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	46	On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	47	And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	48	From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	4	49	And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	1	And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	2	The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	3	The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	4	The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	5	(I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount;) saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	6	I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	7	Thou shalt have none other gods before me.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	8	Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	9	Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	10	And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	11	Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	12	Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	13	Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	14	But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	15	And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the sabbath day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	16	Honour thy father and thy mother, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	17	Thou shalt not kill.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	18	Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	19	Neither shalt thou steal.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	20	Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	21	Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	22	These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	23	And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	24	And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	25	Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	26	For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	27	Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	28	And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	29	O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	30	Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	31	But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	32	Ye shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	5	33	Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	1	Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	2	That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	3	Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	4	Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	5	And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	6	And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	7	And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	8	And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	9	And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	10	And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	11	And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	12	Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	13	Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	14	Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	15	(For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	16	Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	17	Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	18	And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	19	To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	20	And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	21	Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	22	And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	23	And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	24	And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	6	25	And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	1	When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	2	And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	3	Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	4	For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	5	But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	6	For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	7	The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	8	But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	9	Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	10	And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	11	Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	12	Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	13	And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	14	Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	15	And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	16	And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	17	If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	18	Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	19	The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	20	Moreover the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	21	Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	22	And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	23	But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	24	And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	25	The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	7	26	Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	1	All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	2	And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	3	And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	4	Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	5	Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	6	Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	7	For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	8	A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	9	A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	10	When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	11	Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	12	Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	13	And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	14	Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	15	Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	16	Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	17	And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	18	But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	19	And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	8	20	As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	1	Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	2	A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak!
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	3	Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	4	Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	5	Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	6	Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	7	Remember, and forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	8	Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	9	When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	10	And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them was written according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	11	And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	12	And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	13	Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	14	Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	15	So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	16	And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	17	And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	18	And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	19	For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	20	And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	21	And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	22	And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	23	Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	24	Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	25	Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	26	I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	27	Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	28	Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	9	29	Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	1	At that time the LORD said unto me, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	2	And I will write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which thou brakest, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	3	And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	4	And he wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spake unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto me.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	5	And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	6	And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	7	From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	8	At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	9	Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD thy God promised him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	10	And I stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	11	And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give unto them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	12	And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	13	To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	14	Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	15	Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	16	Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	17	For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	18	He doth execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	19	Love ye therefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	20	Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	21	He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	10	22	Thy fathers went down into Egypt with threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	1	Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	2	And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	3	And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	4	And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	5	And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	6	And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	7	But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	8	Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	9	And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	10	For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	11	But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	12	A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	13	And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	14	That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	15	And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	16	Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	17	And then the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	18	Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	19	And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	20	And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	21	That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	22	For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	23	Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	24	Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	25	There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	26	Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	27	A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	28	And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	29	And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	30	Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	31	For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	11	32	And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	1	These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	2	Ye shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which ye shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	3	And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	4	Ye shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	5	But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	6	And thither ye shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	7	And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye put your hand unto, ye and your households, wherein the LORD thy God hath blessed thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	8	Ye shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	9	For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God giveth you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	10	But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	11	Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	12	And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	13	Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt offerings in every place that thou seest:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	14	But in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes, there thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and there thou shalt do all that I command thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	15	Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	16	Only ye shall not eat the blood; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	17	Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	18	But thou must eat them before the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	19	Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	20	When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	21	If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	22	Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	23	Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	24	Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	25	Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	26	Only thy holy things which thou hast, and thy vows, thou shalt take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	27	And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	28	Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	29	When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	30	Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	31	Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	12	32	What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	1	If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	2	And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	3	Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	4	Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	5	And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	6	If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	7	Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	8	Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	9	But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	10	And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	11	And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	12	If thou shalt hear say in one of thy cities, which the LORD thy God hath given thee to dwell there, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	13	Certain men, the children of Belial, are gone out from among you, and have withdrawn the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	14	Then shalt thou enquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought among you;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	15	Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	16	And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	17	And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	13	18	When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	1	Ye are the children of the LORD your God: ye shall not cut yourselves, nor make any baldness between your eyes for the dead.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	2	For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	3	Thou shalt not eat any abominable thing.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	4	These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	5	The hart, and the roebuck, and the fallow deer, and the wild goat, and the pygarg, and the wild ox, and the chamois.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	6	And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shall eat.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	7	Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof; as the camel, and the hare, and the coney: for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	8	And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	9	These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and scales shall ye eat:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	10	And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat; it is unclean unto you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	11	Of all clean birds ye shall eat.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	12	But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	13	And the glede, and the kite, and the vulture after his kind,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	14	And every raven after his kind,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	15	And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	16	The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	17	And the pelican, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	18	And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	19	And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	20	But of all clean fowls ye may eat.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	21	Ye shall not eat of anything that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	22	Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed, that the field bringeth forth year by year.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	23	And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	24	And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	25	Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	26	And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	27	And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	28	At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	14	29	And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	1	At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	2	And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's release.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	3	Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	4	Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	5	Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	6	For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	7	If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	8	But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	9	Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	10	Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	11	For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	12	And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	13	And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	14	Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	15	And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	16	And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	17	Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	18	It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	19	All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	20	Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	21	And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	22	Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	15	23	Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	1	Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	2	Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	3	Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	4	And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	5	Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	6	But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	7	And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	8	Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work therein.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	9	Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	10	And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	11	And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	12	And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	13	Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	14	And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	15	Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	16	Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	17	Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	18	Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	19	Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	20	That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	21	Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	16	22	Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which the LORD thy God hateth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	1	Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	2	If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	3	And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	4	And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired diligently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	5	Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	6	At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	7	The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	8	If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	9	And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	10	And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	11	According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	12	And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	13	And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	14	When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	15	Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	16	But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	17	Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	18	And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	19	And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	17	20	That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	1	The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	2	Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	3	And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	4	The firstfruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, shalt thou give him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	5	For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	6	And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	7	Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	8	They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	9	When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	10	There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	11	Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	12	For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	13	Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	14	For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	15	The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	16	According to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	17	And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	18	I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	19	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	20	But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	21	And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	18	22	When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	1	When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	2	Thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	3	Thou shalt prepare thee a way, and divide the coasts of thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee to inherit, into three parts, that every slayer may flee thither.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	4	And this is the case of the slayer, which shall flee thither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	5	As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	6	Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and overtake him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	7	Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	8	And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	9	If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways; then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, beside these three:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	10	That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	11	But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	12	Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him into the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	13	Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	14	Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	15	One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	16	If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	17	Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	18	And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	19	Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	20	And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	19	21	And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	1	When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the LORD thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	2	And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	3	And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	4	For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	5	And the officers shall speak unto the people, saying, What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man dedicate it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	6	And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard, and hath not yet eaten of it? let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man eat of it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	7	And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife, and hath not taken her? let him go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle, and another man take her.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	8	And the officers shall speak further unto the people, and they shall say, What man is there that is fearful and fainthearted? let him go and return unto his house, lest his brethren's heart faint as well as his heart.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	9	And it shall be, when the officers have made an end of speaking unto the people, that they shall make captains of the armies to lead the people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	10	When thou comest nigh unto a city to fight against it, then proclaim peace unto it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	11	And it shall be, if it make thee answer of peace, and open unto thee, then it shall be, that all the people that is found therein shall be tributaries unto thee, and they shall serve thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	12	And if it will make no peace with thee, but will make war against thee, then thou shalt besiege it:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	13	And when the LORD thy God hath delivered it into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	14	But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	15	Thus shalt thou do unto all the cities which are very far off from thee, which are not of the cities of these nations.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	16	But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	17	But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	18	That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	19	When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	20	20	Only the trees which thou knowest that they be not trees for meat, thou shalt destroy and cut them down; and thou shalt build bulwarks against the city that maketh war with thee, until it be subdued.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	1	If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	2	Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	3	And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	4	And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough valley, which is neither eared nor sown, and shall strike off the heifer's neck there in the valley:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	5	And the priests the sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	6	And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	7	And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	8	Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy people Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of Israel's charge. And the blood shall be forgiven them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	9	So shalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	10	When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	11	And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	12	Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	13	And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	14	And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	15	If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	16	Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	17	But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	18	If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	21	23	His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	14	And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	15	Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	16	And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	17	And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	19	And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	20	But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	22	21	Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	28	The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	30	Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	31	Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	34	So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	45	Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	46	And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	47	Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	58	If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	60	Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	65	And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	28	66	And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	1	These are the words of the covenant, which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	2	And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	3	The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	4	Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	5	And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	6	Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	7	And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote them:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	8	And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	9	Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	10	Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	11	Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	12	That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	13	That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	14	Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	15	But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	16	(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	17	And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	18	Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	19	And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	20	The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	21	And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	22	So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	23	And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	24	Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	25	Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	26	For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	27	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	28	And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	29	29	The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	1	And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	2	And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	3	That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	4	If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	5	And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	6	And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	7	And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	8	And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	9	And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	10	If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	11	For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	12	It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	13	Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	14	But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	15	See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	16	In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	17	But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	18	I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	19	I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	30	20	That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	1	And Moses went and spake these words unto all Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	2	And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	3	The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	4	And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he destroyed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	5	And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded you.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	6	Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	7	And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	8	And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	9	And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	10	And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	11	When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	12	Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	13	And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	14	And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	15	And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	16	And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	17	Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	18	And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	19	Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	20	For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	21	And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	22	Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	23	And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	24	And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	25	That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	26	Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	27	For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	28	Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	29	For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	31	30	And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	1	Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	2	My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	3	Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	4	He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	5	They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	6	Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	7	Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	8	When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	9	For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	10	He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	11	As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	12	So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	13	He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	14	Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	15	But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	16	They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	17	They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	18	Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	19	And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	20	And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	21	They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	22	For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	23	I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	24	They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	25	The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	26	I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	27	Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	28	For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	29	O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	30	How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	31	For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	32	For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	33	Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	34	Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	35	To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	36	For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	37	And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	38	Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	39	See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	40	For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	41	If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	42	I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	43	Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	44	And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	45	And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	46	And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	47	For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	48	And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	49	Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	50	And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	51	Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	32	52	Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	1	And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	2	And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	3	Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	4	Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	5	And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	6	Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	7	And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	8	And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	9	Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	10	They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	11	Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	12	And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	13	And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	14	And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	15	And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	16	And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	17	His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	18	And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	19	They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	20	And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	21	And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	22	And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	23	And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	24	And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	25	Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	26	There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	27	The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	28	Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	33	29	Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	1	And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	2	And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	3	And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	4	And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	5	So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	6	And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Bethpeor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	7	And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	8	And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	9	And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses.
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	10	And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	11	In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
Deuteronomy	Deu	5	34	12	And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	1	Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	1	2	Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	3	Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	4	From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	5	There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	6	Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	7	Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	8	This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	9	Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	10	Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	1	11	Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	12	And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	1	13	Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, The LORD your God hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	14	Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
Joshua	Josh	6	1	15	Until the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	16	And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	17	According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	1	18	Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	1	And Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, Go view the land, even Jericho. And they went, and came into an harlot's house, named Rahab, and lodged there.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	2	And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, there came men in hither to night of the children of Israel to search out the country.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	3	And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, Bring forth the men that are come to thee, which are entered into thine house: for they be come to search out all the country.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	4	And the woman took the two men, and hid them, and said thus, There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were:
Joshua	Josh	6	2	5	And it came to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that the men went out: whither the men went I wot not: pursue after them quickly; for ye shall overtake them.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	6	But she had brought them up to the roof of the house, and hid them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order upon the roof.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	7	And the men pursued after them the way to Jordan unto the fords: and as soon as they which pursued after them were gone out, they shut the gate.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	8	And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof;
Joshua	Josh	6	2	9	And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	10	For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	11	And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	12	Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father's house, and give me a true token:
Joshua	Josh	6	2	13	And that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	14	And the men answered her, Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	15	Then she let them down by a cord through the window: for her house was upon the town wall, and she dwelt upon the wall.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	16	And she said unto them, Get you to the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you; and hide yourselves there three days, until the pursuers be returned: and afterward may ye go your way.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	17	And the men said unto her, We will be blameless of this thine oath which thou hast made us swear.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	18	Behold, when we come into the land, thou shalt bind this line of scarlet thread in the window which thou didst let us down by: and thou shalt bring thy father, and thy mother, and thy brethren, and all thy father's household, home unto thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	19	And it shall be, that whosoever shall go out of the doors of thy house into the street, his blood shall be upon his head, and we will be guiltless: and whosoever shall be with thee in the house, his blood shall be on our head, if any hand be upon him.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	20	And if thou utter this our business, then we will be quit of thine oath which thou hast made us to swear.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	21	And she said, According unto your words, so be it. And she sent them away, and they departed: and she bound the scarlet line in the window.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	22	And they went, and came unto the mountain, and abode there three days, until the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers sought them throughout all the way, but found them not.
Joshua	Josh	6	2	23	So the two men returned, and descended from the mountain, and passed over, and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and told him all things that befell them:
Joshua	Josh	6	2	24	And they said unto Joshua, Truly the LORD hath delivered into our hands all the land; for even all the inhabitants of the country do faint because of us.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	1	And Joshua rose early in the morning; and they removed from Shittim, and came to Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before they passed over.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	2	And it came to pass after three days, that the officers went through the host;
Joshua	Josh	6	3	3	And they commanded the people, saying, When ye see the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, and the priests the Levites bearing it, then ye shall remove from your place, and go after it.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	4	Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure: come not near unto it, that ye may know the way by which ye must go: for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	5	And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for to morrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	6	And Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, Take up the ark of the covenant, and pass over before the people. And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	7	And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	8	And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	9	And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, Come hither, and hear the words of the LORD your God.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	10	And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	11	Behold, the ark of the covenant of the LORD of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	12	Now therefore take you twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	13	And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the LORD of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	14	And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;
Joshua	Josh	6	3	15	And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, (for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,)
Joshua	Josh	6	3	16	That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	3	17	And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	1	And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over Jordan, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	4	2	Take you twelve men out of the people, out of every tribe a man,
Joshua	Josh	6	4	3	And command ye them, saying, Take you hence out of the midst of Jordan, out of the place where the priests' feet stood firm, twelve stones, and ye shall carry them over with you, and leave them in the lodging place, where ye shall lodge this night.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	4	Then Joshua called the twelve men, whom he had prepared of the children of Israel, out of every tribe a man:
Joshua	Josh	6	4	5	And Joshua said unto them, Pass over before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of Jordan, and take you up every man of you a stone upon his shoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of the children of Israel:
Joshua	Josh	6	4	6	That this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean ye by these stones?
Joshua	Josh	6	4	7	Then ye shall answer them, That the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it passed over Jordan, the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones shall be for a memorial unto the children of Israel for ever.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	8	And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the children of Israel, and carried them over with them unto the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	9	And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests which bare the ark of the covenant stood: and they are there unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	10	For the priests which bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until everything was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to speak unto the people, according to all that Moses commanded Joshua: and the people hasted and passed over.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	11	And it came to pass, when all the people were clean passed over, that the ark of the LORD passed over, and the priests, in the presence of the people.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	12	And the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh, passed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses spake unto them:
Joshua	Josh	6	4	13	About forty thousand prepared for war passed over before the LORD unto battle, to the plains of Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	14	On that day the LORD magnified Joshua in the sight of all Israel; and they feared him, as they feared Moses, all the days of his life.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	15	And the LORD spake unto Joshua, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	4	16	Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	17	Joshua therefore commanded the priests, saying, Come ye up out of Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	18	And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	19	And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth day of the first month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	20	And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	21	And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
Joshua	Josh	6	4	22	Then ye shall let your children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
Joshua	Josh	6	4	23	For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
Joshua	Josh	6	4	24	That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty: that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	1	And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	2	At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	3	And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	4	And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	5	Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	6	For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	7	And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	8	And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	9	And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	10	And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	11	And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	12	And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
Joshua	Josh	6	5	13	And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
Joshua	Josh	6	5	14	And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
Joshua	Josh	6	5	15	And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	1	Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	2	And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	3	And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	4	And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	5	And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	6	And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	7	And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	8	And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	9	And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	10	And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	11	So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	12	And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	13	And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	14	And the second day they compassed the city once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	15	And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	16	And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	17	And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	18	And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	19	But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	20	So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	21	And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	22	But Joshua had said unto the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	23	And the young men that were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	24	And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	25	And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	26	And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
Joshua	Josh	6	6	27	So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	1	But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	2	And Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Bethaven, on the east side of Bethel, and spake unto them, saying, Go up and view the country.  And the men went up and viewed Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	3	And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; and make not all the people to labour thither; for they are but few.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	4	So there went up thither of the people about three thousand men: and they fled before the men of Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	5	And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	6	And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	7	And Joshua said, Alas, O LORD God, wherefore hast thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? would to God we had been content, and dwelt on the other side Jordan!
Joshua	Josh	6	7	8	O LORD, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies!
Joshua	Josh	6	7	9	For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth: and what wilt thou do unto thy great name?
Joshua	Josh	6	7	10	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore liest thou thus upon thy face?
Joshua	Josh	6	7	11	Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them: for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	12	Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	13	Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	14	In the morning therefore ye shall be brought according to your tribes: and it shall be, that the tribe which the LORD taketh shall come according to the families thereof; and the family which the LORD shall take shall come by households; and the household which the LORD shall take shall come man by man.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	15	And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath transgressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	16	So Joshua rose up early in the morning, and brought Israel by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken:
Joshua	Josh	6	7	17	And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:
Joshua	Josh	6	7	18	And he brought his household man by man; and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	19	And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory to the LORD God of Israel, and make confession unto him; and tell me now what thou hast done; hide it not from me.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	20	And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
Joshua	Josh	6	7	21	When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	22	So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran unto the tent; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the silver under it.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	23	And they took them out of the midst of the tent, and brought them unto Joshua, and unto all the children of Israel, and laid them out before the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	24	And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses, and his sheep, and his tent, and all that he had: and they brought them unto the valley of Achor.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	25	And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.
Joshua	Josh	6	7	26	And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	1	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear not, neither be thou dismayed: take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land:
Joshua	Josh	6	8	2	And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: lay thee an ambush for the city behind it.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	3	So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men of valour, and sent them away by night.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	4	And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye shall lie in wait against the city, even behind the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all ready:
Joshua	Josh	6	8	5	And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
Joshua	Josh	6	8	6	(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	7	Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	8	And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the LORD shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	9	Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	10	And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	11	And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	12	And he took about five thousand men, and set them to lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	13	And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	14	And it came to pass, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at a time appointed, before the plain; but he wist not that there were liers in ambush against him behind the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	15	And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	16	And all the people that were in Ai were called together to pursue after them: and they pursued after Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	17	And there was not a man left in Ai or Bethel, that went not out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	18	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Stretch out the spear that is in thy hand toward Ai; for I will give it into thine hand. And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	19	And the ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand: and they entered into the city, and took it, and hasted and set the city on fire.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	20	And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and, behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way: and the people that fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	21	And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and slew the men of Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	22	And the other issued out of the city against them; so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	23	And the king of Ai they took alive, and brought him to Joshua.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	24	And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, and when they were all fallen on the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	25	And so it was, that all that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	26	For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	27	Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for a prey unto themselves, according unto the word of the LORD which he commanded Joshua.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	28	And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	29	And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until eventide: and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his carcase down from the tree, and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city, and raise thereon a great heap of stones, that remaineth unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	30	Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal,
Joshua	Josh	6	8	31	As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man hath lift up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	32	And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	33	And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	34	And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
Joshua	Josh	6	8	35	There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	1	And it came to pass, when all the kings which were on this side Jordan, in the hills, and in the valleys, and in all the coasts of the great sea over against Lebanon, the Hittite, and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, heard thereof;
Joshua	Josh	6	9	2	That they gathered themselves together, to fight with Joshua and with Israel, with one accord.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	3	And when the inhabitants of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai,
Joshua	Josh	6	9	4	They did work wilily, and went and made as if they had been ambassadors, and took old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles, old, and rent, and bound up;
Joshua	Josh	6	9	5	And old shoes and clouted upon their feet, and old garments upon them; and all the bread of their provision was dry and mouldy.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	6	And they went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilgal, and said unto him, and to the men of Israel, We be come from a far country: now therefore make ye a league with us.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	7	And the men of Israel said unto the Hivites, Peradventure ye dwell among us; and how shall we make a league with you?
Joshua	Josh	6	9	8	And they said unto Joshua, We are thy servants. And Joshua said unto them, Who are ye? and from whence come ye?
Joshua	Josh	6	9	9	And they said unto him, From a very far country thy servants are come because of the name of the LORD thy God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,
Joshua	Josh	6	9	10	And all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, that were beyond Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, which was at Ashtaroth.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	11	Wherefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spake to us, saying, Take victuals with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say unto them, We are your servants: therefore now make ye a league with us.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	12	This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go unto you; but now, behold, it is dry, and it is mouldy:
Joshua	Josh	6	9	13	And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	14	And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	15	And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	16	And it came to pass at the end of three days after they had made a league with them, that they heard that they were their neighbours, and that they dwelt among them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	17	And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjathjearim.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	18	And the children of Israel smote them not, because the princes of the congregation had sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel. And all the congregation murmured against the princes.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	19	But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	20	This we will do to them; we will even let them live, lest wrath be upon us, because of the oath which we sware unto them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	21	And the princes said unto them, Let them live; but let them be hewers of wood and drawers of water unto all the congregation; as the princes had promised them.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	22	And Joshua called for them, and he spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, We are very far from you; when ye dwell among us?
Joshua	Josh	6	9	23	Now therefore ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	24	And they answered Joshua, and said, Because it was certainly told thy servants, how that the LORD thy God commanded his servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land from before you, therefore we were sore afraid of our lives because of you, and have done this thing.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	25	And now, behold, we are in thine hand: as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	26	And so did he unto them, and delivered them out of the hand of the children of Israel, that they slew them not.
Joshua	Josh	6	9	27	And Joshua made them that day hewers of wood and drawers of water for the congregation, and for the altar of the LORD, even unto this day, in the place which he should choose.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	1	Now it came to pass, when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had done to Ai and her king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel, and were among them;
Joshua	Josh	6	10	2	That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	3	Wherefore Adonizedec king of Jerusalem sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	10	4	Come up unto me, and help me, that we may smite Gibeon: for it hath made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	5	Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon, gathered themselves together, and went up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before Gibeon, and made war against it.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	6	And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua to the camp to Gilgal, saying, Slack not thy hand from thy servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us: for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the mountains are gathered together against us.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	7	So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he, and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	8	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	9	Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly, and went up from Gilgal all night.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	10	And the LORD discomfited them before Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them along the way that goeth up to Bethhoron, and smote them to Azekah, and unto Makkedah.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	11	And it came to pass, as they fled from before Israel, and were in the going down to Bethhoron, that the LORD cast down great stones from heaven upon them unto Azekah, and they died: they were more which died with hailstones than they whom the children of Israel slew with the sword.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	12	Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	13	And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	14	And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	15	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	16	But these five kings fled, and hid themselves in a cave at Makkedah.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	17	And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	18	And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to keep them:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	19	And stay ye not, but pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	20	And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, that the rest which remained of them entered into fenced cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	21	And all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	22	Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out of the cave.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	23	And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	24	And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	25	And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	26	And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	27	And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great stones in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	28	And that day Joshua took Makkedah, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof he utterly destroyed, them, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	29	Then Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, unto Libnah, and fought against Libnah:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	30	And the LORD delivered it also, and the king thereof, into the hand of Israel; and he smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein; he let none remain in it; but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	31	And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, unto Lachish, and encamped against it, and fought against it:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	32	And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, which took it on the second day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	33	Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua smote him and his people, until he had left him none remaining.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	34	And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it, and fought against it:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	35	And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	36	And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	37	And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that were therein.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	38	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
Joshua	Josh	6	10	39	And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls that were therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	40	So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD God of Israel commanded.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	41	And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	42	And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time, because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	10	43	And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	1	And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
Joshua	Josh	6	11	2	And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
Joshua	Josh	6	11	3	And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	4	And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	5	And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	6	And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	7	So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	8	And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	9	And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	10	And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	11	And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	12	And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	13	But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	14	And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	15	As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	16	So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
Joshua	Josh	6	11	17	Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	18	Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	19	There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other they took in battle.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	20	For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	21	And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	22	There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
Joshua	Josh	6	11	23	So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
Joshua	Josh	6	12	1	Now these are the kings of the land, which the children of Israel smote, and possessed their land on the other side Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the river Arnon unto mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:
Joshua	Josh	6	12	2	Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and ruled from Aroer, which is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and from the middle of the river, and from half Gilead, even unto the river Jabbok, which is the border of the children of Ammon;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	3	And from the plain to the sea of Chinneroth on the east, and unto the sea of the plain, even the salt sea on the east, the way to Bethjeshimoth; and from the south, under Ashdothpisgah:
Joshua	Josh	6	12	4	And the coast of Og king of Bashan, which was of the remnant of the giants, that dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
Joshua	Josh	6	12	5	And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
Joshua	Josh	6	12	6	Them did Moses the servant of the LORD and the children of Israel smite: and Moses the servant of the LORD gave it for a possession unto the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua	Josh	6	12	7	And these are the kings of the country which Joshua and the children of Israel smote on this side Jordan on the west, from Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon even unto the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir; which Joshua gave unto the tribes of Israel for a possession according to their divisions;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	8	In the mountains, and in the valleys, and in the plains, and in the springs, and in the wilderness, and in the south country; the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites:
Joshua	Josh	6	12	9	The king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	10	The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	11	The king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	12	The king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	13	The king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	14	The king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	15	The king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	16	The king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	17	The king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	18	The king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	19	The king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	20	The king of Shimronmeron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	21	The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	22	The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam of Carmel, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	23	The king of Dor in the coast of Dor, one; the king of the nations of Gilgal, one;
Joshua	Josh	6	12	24	The king of Tirzah, one: all the kings thirty and one.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	1	Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	2	This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	3	From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
Joshua	Josh	6	13	4	From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
Joshua	Josh	6	13	5	And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baalgad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	6	All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephothmaim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	7	Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	8	With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	9	From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	10	And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	11	And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	12	All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	13	Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	14	Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	15	And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	16	And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	17	Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	18	And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	19	And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	20	And Bethpeor, and Ashdothpisgah, and Bethjeshimoth,
Joshua	Josh	6	13	21	And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	22	Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	23	And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	24	And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	25	And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	26	And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
Joshua	Josh	6	13	27	And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	28	This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	29	And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	30	And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:
Joshua	Josh	6	13	31	And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	32	These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
Joshua	Josh	6	13	33	But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	1	And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance to them.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	2	By lot was their inheritance, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half tribe.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	3	For Moses had given the inheritance of two tribes and an half tribe on the other side Jordan: but unto the Levites he gave none inheritance among them.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	4	For the children of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	5	As the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did, and they divided the land.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	6	Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	7	Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	8	Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	9	And Moses sware on that day, saying, Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast wholly followed the LORD my God.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	10	And now, behold, the LORD hath kept me alive, as he said, these forty and five years, even since the LORD spake this word unto Moses, while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness: and now, lo, I am this day fourscore and five years old.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	11	As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	12	Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there, and that the cities were great and fenced: if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	13	And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	14	Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	14	15	And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	1	This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	2	And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	3	And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	4	From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	5	And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	6	And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	7	And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	8	And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	9	And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	10	And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	11	And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	12	And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	13	And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	14	And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	15	And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	16	And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	17	And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	18	And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
Joshua	Josh	6	15	19	Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	20	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	21	And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	22	And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	23	And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	24	Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	25	And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	26	Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	27	And Hazargaddah, and Heshmon, and Bethpalet,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	28	And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	29	Baalah, and Iim, and Azem,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	30	And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	31	And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	32	And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	33	And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	34	And Zanoah, and Engannim, Tappuah, and Enam,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	35	Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	36	And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	37	Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdalgad,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	38	And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	39	Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	40	And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	41	And Gederoth, Bethdagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	42	Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	43	And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	44	And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	45	Ekron, with her towns and her villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	46	From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	47	Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	48	And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	49	And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which is Debir,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	50	And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	51	And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	52	Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	53	And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	54	And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	55	Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	56	And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	57	Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	58	Halhul, Bethzur, and Gedor,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	59	And Maarath, and Bethanoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	60	Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	15	61	In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin, and Secacah,
Joshua	Josh	6	15	62	And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	15	63	As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	1	And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from Jericho throughout mount Bethel,
Joshua	Josh	6	16	2	And goeth out from Bethel to Luz, and passeth along unto the borders of Archi to Ataroth,
Joshua	Josh	6	16	3	And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti, unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether, and to Gezer; and the goings out thereof are at the sea.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	4	So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, took their inheritance.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	5	And the border of the children of Ephraim according to their families was thus: even the border of their inheritance on the east side was Atarothaddar, unto Bethhoron the upper;
Joshua	Josh	6	16	6	And the border went out toward the sea to Michmethah on the north side; and the border went about eastward unto Taanathshiloh, and passed by it on the east to Janohah;
Joshua	Josh	6	16	7	And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	8	The border went out from Tappuah westward unto the river Kanah; and the goings out thereof were at the sea. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Ephraim by their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	9	And the separate cities for the children of Ephraim were among the inheritance of the children of Manasseh, all the cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	16	10	And they drave not out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites unto this day, and serve under tribute.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	1	There was also a lot for the tribe of Manasseh; for he was the firstborn of Joseph; to wit, for Machir the firstborn of Manasseh, the father of Gilead: because he was a man of war, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	2	There was also a lot for the rest of the children of Manasseh by their families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh the son of Joseph by their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	3	But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters: and these are the names of his daughters, Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	4	And they came near before Eleazar the priest, and before Joshua the son of Nun, and before the princes, saying, The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brethren. Therefore according to the commandment of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among the brethren of their father.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	5	And there fell ten portions to Manasseh, beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, which were on the other side Jordan;
Joshua	Josh	6	17	6	Because the daughters of Manasseh had an inheritance among his sons: and the rest of Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	7	And the coast of Manasseh was from Asher to Michmethah, that lieth before Shechem; and the border went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants of Entappuah.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	8	Now Manasseh had the land of Tappuah: but Tappuah on the border of Manasseh belonged to the children of Ephraim;
Joshua	Josh	6	17	9	And the coast descended unto the river Kanah, southward of the river: these cities of Ephraim are among the cities of Manasseh: the coast of Manasseh also was on the north side of the river, and the outgoings of it were at the sea:
Joshua	Josh	6	17	10	Southward it was Ephraim's, and northward it was Manasseh's, and the sea is his border; and they met together in Asher on the north, and in Issachar on the east.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	11	And Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher Bethshean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	12	Yet the children of Manasseh could not drive out the inhabitants of those cities; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	13	Yet it came to pass, when the children of Israel were waxen strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not utterly drive them out.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	14	And the children of Joseph spake unto Joshua, saying, Why hast thou given me but one lot and one portion to inherit, seeing I am a great people, forasmuch as the LORD hath blessed me hitherto?
Joshua	Josh	6	17	15	And Joshua answered them, If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut down for thyself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	16	And the children of Joseph said, The hill is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites that dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they who are of Bethshean and her towns, and they who are of the valley of Jezreel.
Joshua	Josh	6	17	17	And Joshua spake unto the house of Joseph, even to Ephraim and to Manasseh, saying, Thou art a great people, and hast great power: thou shalt not have one lot only:
Joshua	Josh	6	17	18	But the mountain shall be thine; for it is a wood, and thou shalt cut it down: and the outgoings of it shall be thine: for thou shalt drive out the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots, and though they be strong.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	1	And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. And the land was subdued before them.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	2	And there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes, which had not yet received their inheritance.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	3	And Joshua said unto the children of Israel, How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?
Joshua	Josh	6	18	4	Give out from among you three men for each tribe: and I will send them, and they shall rise, and go through the land, and describe it according to the inheritance of them; and they shall come again to me.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	5	And they shall divide it into seven parts: Judah shall abide in their coast on the south, and the house of Joseph shall abide in their coasts on the north.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	6	Ye shall therefore describe the land into seven parts, and bring the description hither to me, that I may cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	7	But the Levites have no part among you; for the priesthood of the LORD is their inheritance: and Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh, have received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave them.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	8	And the men arose, and went away: and Joshua charged them that went to describe the land, saying, Go and walk through the land, and describe it, and come again to me, that I may here cast lots for you before the LORD in Shiloh.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	9	And the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities into seven parts in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host at Shiloh.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	10	And Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD: and there Joshua divided the land unto the children of Israel according to their divisions.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	11	And the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families: and the coast of their lot came forth between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	12	And their border on the north side was from Jordan; and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north side, and went up through the mountains westward; and the goings out thereof were at the wilderness of Bethaven.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	13	And the border went over from thence toward Luz, to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; and the border descended to Atarothadar, near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	14	And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Bethhoron southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjathbaal, which is Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	15	And the south quarter was from the end of Kirjathjearim, and the border went out on the west, and went out to the well of waters of Nephtoah:
Joshua	Josh	6	18	16	And the border came down to the end of the mountain that lieth before the valley of the son of Hinnom, and which is in the valley of the giants on the north, and descended to the valley of Hinnom, to the side of Jebusi on the south, and descended to Enrogel,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	17	And was drawn from the north, and went forth to Enshemesh, and went forth toward Geliloth, which is over against the going up of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	18	And passed along toward the side over against Arabah northward, and went down unto Arabah:
Joshua	Josh	6	18	19	And the border passed along to the side of Bethhoglah northward: and the outgoings of the border were at the north bay of the salt sea at the south end of Jordan: this was the south coast.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	20	And Jordan was the border of it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the children of Benjamin, by the coasts thereof round about, according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	18	21	Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho, and Bethhoglah, and the valley of Keziz,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	22	And Betharabah, and Zemaraim, and Bethel,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	23	And Avim, and Parah, and Ophrah,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	24	And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	18	25	Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	26	And Mizpeh, and Chephirah, and Mozah,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	27	And Rekem, and Irpeel, and Taralah,
Joshua	Josh	6	18	28	And Zelah, Eleph, and Jebusi, which is Jerusalem, Gibeath, and Kirjath; fourteen cities with their villages. This is the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	1	And the second lot came forth to Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	2	And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	3	And Hazarshual, and Balah, and Azem,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	4	And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	5	And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	6	And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities and their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	7	Ain, Remmon, and Ether, and Ashan; four cities and their villages:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	8	And all the villages that were round about these cities to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	9	Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	10	And the third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families: and the border of their inheritance was unto Sarid:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	11	And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;
Joshua	Josh	6	19	12	And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	13	And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;
Joshua	Josh	6	19	14	And the border compasseth it on the north side to Hannathon: and the outgoings thereof are in the valley of Jiphthahel:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	15	And Kattath, and Nahallal, and Shimron, and Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	16	This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	17	And the fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the children of Issachar according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	18	And their border was toward Jezreel, and Chesulloth, and Shunem,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	19	And Haphraim, and Shihon, and Anaharath,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	20	And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	21	And Remeth, and Engannim, and Enhaddah, and Bethpazzez;
Joshua	Josh	6	19	22	And the coast reacheth to Tabor, and Shahazimah, and Bethshemesh; and the outgoings of their border were at Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	23	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	24	And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	25	And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	26	And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;
Joshua	Josh	6	19	27	And turneth toward the sunrising to Bethdagon, and reacheth to Zebulun, and to the valley of Jiphthahel toward the north side of Bethemek, and Neiel, and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	28	And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;
Joshua	Josh	6	19	29	And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	30	Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty and two cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	31	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	32	The sixth lot came out to the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	33	And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	34	And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	35	And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	36	And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	37	And Kedesh, and Edrei, and Enhazor,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	38	And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	39	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	40	And the seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	41	And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	42	And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	43	And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	44	And Eltekeh, and Gibbethon, and Baalath,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	45	And Jehud, and Beneberak, and Gathrimmon,
Joshua	Josh	6	19	46	And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	47	And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	48	This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	49	When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:
Joshua	Josh	6	19	50	According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.
Joshua	Josh	6	19	51	These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	1	The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	20	2	Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses:
Joshua	Josh	6	20	3	That the slayer that killeth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	4	And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	5	And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	6	And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	7	And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	8	And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh.
Joshua	Josh	6	20	9	These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	1	Then came near the heads of the fathers of the Levites unto Eleazar the priest, and unto Joshua the son of Nun, and unto the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel;
Joshua	Josh	6	21	2	And they spake unto them at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, saying, The LORD commanded by the hand of Moses to give us cities to dwell in, with the suburbs thereof for our cattle.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	3	And the children of Israel gave unto the Levites out of their inheritance, at the commandment of the LORD, these cities and their suburbs.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	4	And the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites: and the children of Aaron the priest, which were of the Levites, had by lot out of the tribe of Judah, and out of the tribe of Simeon, and out of the tribe of Benjamin, thirteen cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	5	And the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Ephraim, and out of the tribe of Dan, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh, ten cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	6	And the children of Gershon had by lot out of the families of the tribe of Issachar, and out of the tribe of Asher, and out of the tribe of Naphtali, and out of the half tribe of Manasseh in Bashan, thirteen cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	7	The children of Merari by their families had out of the tribe of Reuben, and out of the tribe of Gad, and out of the tribe of Zebulun, twelve cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	8	And the children of Israel gave by lot unto the Levites these cities with their suburbs, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	9	And they gave out of the tribe of the children of Judah, and out of the tribe of the children of Simeon, these cities which are here mentioned by name,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	10	Which the children of Aaron, being of the families of the Kohathites, who were of the children of Levi, had: for theirs was the first lot.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	11	And they gave them the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron, in the hill country of Judah, with the suburbs thereof round about it.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	12	But the fields of the city, and the villages thereof, gave they to Caleb the son of Jephunneh for his possession.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	13	Thus they gave to the children of Aaron the priest Hebron with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Libnah with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	14	And Jattir with her suburbs, and Eshtemoa with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	15	And Holon with her suburbs, and Debir with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	16	And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	17	And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	18	Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	19	All the cities of the children of Aaron, the priests, were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	20	And the families of the children of Kohath, the Levites which remained of the children of Kohath, even they had the cities of their lot out of the tribe of Ephraim.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	21	For they gave them Shechem with her suburbs in mount Ephraim, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Gezer with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	22	And Kibzaim with her suburbs, and Bethhoron with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	23	And out of the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh with her suburbs, Gibbethon with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	24	Aijalon with her suburbs, Gathrimmon with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	25	And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Tanach with her suburbs, and Gathrimmon with her suburbs; two cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	26	All the cities were ten with their suburbs for the families of the children of Kohath that remained.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	27	And unto the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, out of the other half tribe of Manasseh they gave Golan in Bashan with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Beeshterah with her suburbs; two cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	28	And out of the tribe of Issachar, Kishon with her suburbs, Dabareh with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	29	Jarmuth with her suburbs, Engannim with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	30	And out of the tribe of Asher, Mishal with her suburbs, Abdon with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	31	Helkath with her suburbs, and Rehob with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	32	And out of the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Hammothdor with her suburbs, and Kartan with her suburbs; three cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	33	All the cities of the Gershonites according to their families were thirteen cities with their suburbs.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	34	And unto the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites, out of the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam with her suburbs, and Kartah with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	35	Dimnah with her suburbs, Nahalal with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	36	And out of the tribe of Reuben, Bezer with her suburbs, and Jahazah with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	37	Kedemoth with her suburbs, and Mephaath with her suburbs; four cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	38	And out of the tribe of Gad, Ramoth in Gilead with her suburbs, to be a city of refuge for the slayer; and Mahanaim with her suburbs,
Joshua	Josh	6	21	39	Heshbon with her suburbs, Jazer with her suburbs; four cities in all.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	40	So all the cities for the children of Merari by their families, which were remaining of the families of the Levites, were by their lot twelve cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	41	All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty and eight cities with their suburbs.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	42	These cities were every one with their suburbs round about them: thus were all these cities.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	43	And the LORD gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	44	And the LORD gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the LORD delivered all their enemies into their hand.
Joshua	Josh	6	21	45	There failed not ought of any good thing which the LORD had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	1	Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	2	And said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you:
Joshua	Josh	6	22	3	Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	4	And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he promised them: therefore now return ye, and get you unto your tents, and unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side Jordan.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	5	But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	6	So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	7	Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brethren on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also unto their tents, then he blessed them,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	8	And he spake unto them, saying, Return with much riches unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	9	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	10	And when they came unto the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	11	And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, at the passage of the children of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	12	And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	13	And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	14	And with him ten princes, of each chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among the thousands of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	15	And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	16	Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, that ye might rebel this day against the LORD?
Joshua	Josh	6	22	17	Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the congregation of the LORD,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	18	But that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	19	Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD our God.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	20	Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	21	Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and said unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Joshua	Josh	6	22	22	The LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (save us not this day,)
Joshua	Josh	6	22	23	That we have built us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
Joshua	Josh	6	22	24	And if we have not rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD God of Israel?
Joshua	Josh	6	22	25	For the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	26	Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:
Joshua	Josh	6	22	27	But that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no part in the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	28	Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between us and you.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	29	God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	30	And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	31	And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	32	And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	33	And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelt.
Joshua	Josh	6	22	34	And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	1	And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	2	And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:
Joshua	Josh	6	23	3	And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	4	Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	5	And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	6	Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;
Joshua	Josh	6	23	7	That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:
Joshua	Josh	6	23	8	But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	9	For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	10	One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	11	Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	12	Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:
Joshua	Josh	6	23	13	Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	14	And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	15	Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.
Joshua	Josh	6	23	16	When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	1	And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	2	And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	3	And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	4	And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	5	I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	6	And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	7	And when they cried unto the LORD, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen what I have done in Egypt: and ye dwelt in the wilderness a long season.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	8	And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, which dwelt on the other side Jordan; and they fought with you: and I gave them into your hand, that ye might possess their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	9	Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and warred against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you:
Joshua	Josh	6	24	10	But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he blessed you still: so I delivered you out of his hand.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	11	And ye went over Jordan, and came unto Jericho: and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I delivered them into your hand.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	12	And I sent the hornet before you, which drave them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; but not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	13	And I have given you a land for which ye did not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	14	Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	15	And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	16	And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
Joshua	Josh	6	24	17	For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed:
Joshua	Josh	6	24	18	And the LORD drave out from before us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD; for he is our God.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	19	And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	20	If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you hurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	21	And the people said unto Joshua, Nay; but we will serve the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	22	And Joshua said unto the people, Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve him. And they said, We are witnesses.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	23	Now therefore put away, said he, the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD God of Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	24	And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD our God will we serve, and his voice will we obey.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	25	So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	26	And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God, and took a great stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	27	And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which he spake unto us: it shall be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your God.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	28	So Joshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	29	And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	30	And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathserah, which is in mount Ephraim, on the north side of the hill of Gaash.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	31	And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the LORD, that he had done for Israel.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	32	And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Joshua	Josh	6	24	33	And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill that pertained to Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	1	Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	2	And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	3	And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	4	And Judah went up; and the LORD delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	5	And they found Adonibezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	6	But Adonibezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	7	And Adonibezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	8	Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	9	And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	10	And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba:) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	11	And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher:
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	12	And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	13	And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	14	And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	15	And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	16	And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	17	And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	18	Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	19	And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	20	And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	21	And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	22	And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	23	And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	24	And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	25	And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	26	And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	27	Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Bethshean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	28	And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	29	Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	30	Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	31	Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	32	But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	33	Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh, nor the inhabitants of Bethanath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Bethshemesh and of Bethanath became tributaries unto them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	34	And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	35	But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
Judges	Jdgs	7	1	36	And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	1	And an angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	2	And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	3	Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	4	And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	5	And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	6	And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	7	And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	8	And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	9	And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	10	And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	11	And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim:
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	12	And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	13	And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	14	And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	15	Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	16	Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	17	And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	18	And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	19	And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	20	And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	21	I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	22	That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
Judges	Jdgs	7	2	23	Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	1	Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	2	Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	3	Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	4	And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	5	And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	6	And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	7	And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	8	Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushanrishathaim eight years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	9	And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	10	And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	11	And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	12	And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	13	And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	14	So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	15	But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	16	But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	17	And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	18	And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	19	But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	20	And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	21	And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	22	And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	23	Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	24	When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	25	And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	26	And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	27	And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	28	And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	29	And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	30	So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	3	31	And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	1	And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the LORD, when Ehud was dead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	2	And the LORD sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	3	And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	4	And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	5	And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	6	And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedeshnaphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the LORD God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	7	And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	8	And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	9	And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the LORD shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	10	And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	11	Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	12	And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	13	And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	14	And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the LORD hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the LORD gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	15	And the LORD discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	16	But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	17	Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	18	And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	19	And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	20	Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	21	Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	22	And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	23	So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	4	24	And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	1	Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	2	Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	3	Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	4	LORD, when thou wentest out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	5	The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	6	In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	7	The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	8	They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	9	My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	10	Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	11	They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	12	Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou son of Abinoam.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	13	Then he made him that remaineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	14	Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	15	And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	16	Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	17	Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	18	Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	19	The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	20	They fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	21	The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trodden down strength.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	22	Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	23	Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	24	Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	25	He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	26	She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	27	At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	28	The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming? why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	29	Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself,
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	30	Have they not sped? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two; to Sisera a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil?
Judges	Jdgs	7	5	31	So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD: but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	1	And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	2	And the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel: and because of the Midianites the children of Israel made them the dens which are in the mountains, and caves, and strong holds.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	3	And so it was, when Israel had sown, that the Midianites came up, and the Amalekites, and the children of the east, even they came up against them;
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	4	And they encamped against them, and destroyed the increase of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, and left no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep, nor ox, nor ass.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	5	For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and their camels were without number: and they entered into the land to destroy it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	6	And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	7	And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD because of the Midianites,
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	8	That the LORD sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage;
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	9	And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them out from before you, and gave you their land;
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	10	And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	11	And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	12	And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	13	And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	14	And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	15	And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	16	And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	17	And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	18	Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	19	And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	20	And the angel of God said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	21	Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD departed out of his sight.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	22	And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O LORD God! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	23	And the LORD said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	24	Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Jehovahshalom: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	25	And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	26	And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	27	Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	28	And when the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was cast down, and the grove was cut down that was by it, and the second bullock was offered upon the altar that was built.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	29	And they said one to another, Who hath done this thing? And when they enquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath done this thing.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	30	Then the men of the city said unto Joash, Bring out thy son, that he may die: because he hath cast down the altar of Baal, and because he hath cut down the grove that was by it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	31	And Joash said unto all that stood against him, Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him? he that will plead for him, let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	32	Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal plead against him, because he hath thrown down his altar.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	33	Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east were gathered together, and went over, and pitched in the valley of Jezreel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	34	But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	35	And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	36	And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	37	Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	38	And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	39	And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew.
Judges	Jdgs	7	6	40	And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	1	Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	2	And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	3	Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	4	And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	5	So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	6	And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	7	And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	8	So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	9	And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	10	But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	11	And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	12	And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	13	And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	14	And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	15	And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	16	And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	17	And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	18	When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	19	So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	20	And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	21	And they stood every man in his place round about the camp; and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	22	And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	23	And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	24	And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and Jordan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	7	25	And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	1	And the men of Ephraim said unto him, Why hast thou served us thus, that thou calledst us not, when thou wentest to fight with the Midianites? And they did chide with him sharply.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	2	And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	3	God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	4	And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	5	And he said unto the men of Succoth, Give, I pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow me; for they be faint, and I am pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of Midian.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	6	And the princes of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thine army?
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	7	And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	8	And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake unto them likewise: and the men of Penuel answered him as the men of Succoth had answered him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	9	And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, saying, When I come again in peace, I will break down this tower.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	10	Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their hosts with them, about fifteen thousand men, all that were left of all the hosts of the children of the east: for there fell an hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	11	And Gideon went up by the way of them that dwelt in tents on the east of Nobah and Jogbehah, and smote the host: for the host was secure.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	12	And when Zebah and Zalmunna fled, he pursued after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and discomfited all the host.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	13	And Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle before the sun was up,
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	14	And caught a young man of the men of Succoth, and enquired of him: and he described unto him the princes of Succoth, and the elders thereof, even threescore and seventeen men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	15	And he came unto the men of Succoth, and said, Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, with whom ye did upbraid me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we should give bread unto thy men that are weary?
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	16	And he took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	17	And he beat down the tower of Penuel, and slew the men of the city.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	18	Then said he unto Zebah and Zalmunna, What manner of men were they whom ye slew at Tabor? And they answered, As thou art, so were they; each one resembled the children of a king.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	19	And he said, They were my brethren, even the sons of my mother: as the LORD liveth, if ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	20	And he said unto Jether his firstborn, Up, and slay them. But the youth drew not his sword: for he feared, because he was yet a youth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	21	Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise thou, and fall upon us: for as the man is, so is his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took away the ornaments that were on their camels' necks.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	22	Then the men of Israel said unto Gideon, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, and thy son's son also: for thou hast delivered us from the hand of Midian.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	23	And Gideon said unto them, I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you: the LORD shall rule over you.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	24	And Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	25	And they answered, We will willingly give them. And they spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his prey.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	26	And the weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that were about their camels' necks.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	27	And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it in his city, even in Ophrah: and all Israel went thither a whoring after it: which thing became a snare unto Gideon, and to his house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	28	Thus was Midian subdued before the children of Israel, so that they lifted up their heads no more. And the country was in quietness forty years in the days of Gideon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	29	And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	30	And Gideon had threescore and ten sons of his body begotten: for he had many wives.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	31	And his concubine that was in Shechem, she also bare him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	32	And Gideon the son of Joash died in a good old age, and was buried in the sepulchre of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	33	And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	34	And the children of Israel remembered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side:
Judges	Jdgs	7	8	35	Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the goodness which he had shewed unto Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	1	And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem unto his mother's brethren, and communed with them, and with all the family of the house of his mother's father, saying,
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	2	Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether is better for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, which are threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	3	And his mother's brethren spake of him in the ears of all the men of Shechem all these words: and their hearts inclined to follow Abimelech; for they said, He is our brother.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	4	And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	5	And he went unto his father's house at Ophrah, and slew his brethren the sons of Jerubbaal, being threescore and ten persons, upon one stone: notwithstanding yet Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left; for he hid himself.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	6	And all the men of Shechem gathered together, and all the house of Millo, and went, and made Abimelech king, by the plain of the pillar that was in Shechem.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	7	And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	8	The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	9	But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	10	And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	11	But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	12	Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	13	And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	14	Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	15	And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	16	Now therefore, if ye have done truly and sincerely, in that ye have made Abimelech king, and if ye have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done unto him according to the deserving of his hands;
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	17	(For my father fought for you, and adventured his life far, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian:
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	18	And ye are risen up against my father's house this day, and have slain his sons, threescore and ten persons, upon one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your brother;)
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	19	If ye then have dealt truly and sincerely with Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice ye in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you:
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	20	But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech, and devour the men of Shechem, and the house of Millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem, and from the house of Millo, and devour Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	21	And Jotham ran away, and fled, and went to Beer, and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	22	When Abimelech had reigned three years over Israel,
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	23	Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech:
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	24	That the cruelty done to the threescore and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, which slew them; and upon the men of Shechem, which aided him in the killing of his brethren.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	25	And the men of Shechem set liers in wait for him in the top of the mountains, and they robbed all that came along that way by them: and it was told Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	26	And Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brethren, and went over to Shechem: and the men of Shechem put their confidence in him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	27	And they went out into the fields, and gathered their vineyards, and trode the grapes, and made merry, and went into the house of their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	28	And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? is not he the son of Jerubbaal? and Zebul his officer? serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem: for why should we serve him?
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	29	And would to God this people were under my hand! then would I remove Abimelech. And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine army, and come out.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	30	And when Zebul the ruler of the city heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger was kindled.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	31	And he sent messengers unto Abimelech privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brethren be come to Shechem; and, behold, they fortify the city against thee.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	32	Now therefore up by night, thou and the people that is with thee, and lie in wait in the field:
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	33	And it shall be, that in the morning, as soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and set upon the city: and, behold, when he and the people that is with him come out against thee, then mayest thou do to them as thou shalt find occasion.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	34	And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	35	And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and Abimelech rose up, and the people that were with him, from lying in wait.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	36	And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, Behold, there come people down from the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto him, Thou seest the shadow of the mountains as if they were men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	37	And Gaal spake again and said, See there come people down by the middle of the land, and another company come along by the plain of Meonenim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	38	Then said Zebul unto him, Where is now thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? is not this the people that thou hast despised? go out, I pray now, and fight with them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	39	And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, and fought with Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	40	And Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him, and many were overthrown and wounded, even unto the entering of the gate.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	41	And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and Zebul thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that they should not dwell in Shechem.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	42	And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people went out into the field; and they told Abimelech.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	43	And he took the people, and divided them into three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, and, behold, the people were come forth out of the city; and he rose up against them, and smote them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	44	And Abimelech, and the company that was with him, rushed forward, and stood in the entering of the gate of the city: and the two other companies ran upon all the people that were in the fields, and slew them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	45	And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	46	And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	47	And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	48	And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, he and all the people that were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said unto the people that were with him, What ye have seen me do, make haste, and do as I have done.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	49	And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to the hold, and set the hold on fire upon them; so that all the men of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	50	Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and encamped against Thebez, and took it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	51	But there was a strong tower within the city, and thither fled all the men and women, and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and gat them up to the top of the tower.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	52	And Abimelech came unto the tower, and fought against it, and went hard unto the door of the tower to burn it with fire.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	53	And a certain woman cast a piece of a millstone upon Abimelech's head, and all to brake his skull.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	54	Then he called hastily unto the young man his armourbearer, and said unto him, Draw thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, A woman slew him. And his young man thrust him through, and he died.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	55	And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed every man unto his place.
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	56	Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:
Judges	Jdgs	7	9	57	And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	1	And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	2	And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	3	And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	4	And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havothjair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	5	And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	6	And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	7	And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	8	And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	9	Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	10	And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	11	And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	12	The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	13	Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	14	Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	15	And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	16	And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	17	Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	10	18	And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	1	Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	2	And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	3	Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	4	And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	5	And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	6	And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	7	And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	8	And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	9	And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	10	And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	11	Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	12	And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	13	And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	14	And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	15	And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	16	But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	17	Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	18	Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	19	And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	20	But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	21	And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	22	And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	23	So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	24	Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	25	And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	26	While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	27	Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	28	Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	29	Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	30	And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	31	Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	32	So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	33	And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	34	And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	35	And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	36	And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	37	And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	38	And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	39	And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
Judges	Jdgs	7	11	40	That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	1	And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	2	And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	3	And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	4	Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	5	And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	6	Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	7	And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	8	And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	9	And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	10	Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	11	And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	12	And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	13	And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	14	And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	12	15	And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	1	And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD; and the LORD delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	2	And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	3	And the angel of the LORD appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	4	Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing:
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	5	For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	6	Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of God came unto me, and his countenance was like the countenance of an angel of God, very terrible: but I asked him not whence he was, neither told he me his name:
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	7	But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb to the day of his death.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	8	Then Manoah intreated the LORD, and said, O my Lord, let the man of God which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	9	And God hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband was not with her.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	10	And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the other day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	11	And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, Art thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I am.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	12	And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and how shall we do unto him?
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	13	And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	14	She may not eat of any thing that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: all that I commanded her let her observe.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	15	And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	16	And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he was an angel of the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	17	And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, What is thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	18	And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it is secret?
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	19	So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered it upon a rock unto the LORD: and the angel did wonderously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	20	For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on it, and fell on their faces to the ground.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	21	But the angel of the LORD did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he was an angel of the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	22	And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	23	But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	24	And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	13	25	And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	1	And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	2	And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for me to wife.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	3	Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth me well.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	4	But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	5	Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	6	And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	7	And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	8	And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	9	And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	10	So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	11	And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	12	And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	13	But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	14	And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	15	And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	16	And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee?
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	17	And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	18	And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	19	And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	14	20	But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	1	But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	2	And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	3	And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	4	And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	5	And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards and olives.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	6	Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	7	And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	8	And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	9	Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	10	And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	11	Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	12	And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	13	And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	14	And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	15	And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	16	And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	17	And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	18	And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	19	But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	15	20	And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	1	Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	2	And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	3	And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	4	And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	5	And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred pieces of silver.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	6	And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	7	And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	8	Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	9	Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	10	And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	11	And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	12	Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	13	And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	14	And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	15	And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	16	And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	17	That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	18	And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	19	And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	20	And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	21	But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	22	Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	23	Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	24	And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	25	And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	26	And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	27	Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	28	And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	29	And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	30	And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.
Judges	Jdgs	7	16	31	Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him, and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	1	And there was a man of mount Ephraim, whose name was Micah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	2	And he said unto his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it. And his mother said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my son.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	3	And when he had restored the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly dedicated the silver unto the LORD from my hand for my son, to make a graven image and a molten image: now therefore I will restore it unto thee.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	4	Yet he restored the money unto his mother; and his mother took two hundred shekels of silver, and gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven image and a molten image: and they were in the house of Micah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	5	And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and teraphim, and consecrated one of his sons, who became his priest.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	6	In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	7	And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	8	And the man departed out of the city from Bethlehemjudah to sojourn where he could find a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the house of Micah, as he journeyed.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	9	And Micah said unto him, Whence comest thou? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of Bethlehemjudah, and I go to sojourn where I may find a place.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	10	And Micah said unto him, Dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	11	And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man was unto him as one of his sons.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	12	And Micah consecrated the Levite; and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	17	13	Then said Micah, Now know I that the LORD will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	1	In those days there was no king in Israel: and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day all their inheritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	2	And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their coasts, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them, Go, search the land: who when they came to mount Ephraim, to the house of Micah, they lodged there.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	3	When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	4	And he said unto them, Thus and thus dealeth Micah with me, and hath hired me, and I am his priest.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	5	And they said unto him, Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we go shall be prosperous.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	6	And the priest said unto them, Go in peace: before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	7	Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and there was no magistrate in the land, that might put them to shame in any thing; and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no business with any man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	8	And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol: and their brethren said unto them, What say ye?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	9	And they said, Arise, that we may go up against them: for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good: and are ye still? be not slothful to go, and to enter to possess the land.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	10	When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and to a large land: for God hath given it into your hands; a place where there is no want of any thing that is in the earth.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	11	And there went from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men appointed with weapons of war.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	12	And they went up, and pitched in Kirjathjearim, in Judah: wherefore they called that place Mahanehdan unto this day: behold, it is behind Kirjathjearim.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	13	And they passed thence unto mount Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	14	Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren, Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	15	And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	16	And the six hundred men appointed with their weapons of war, which were of the children of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	17	And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image: and the priest stood in the entering of the gate with the six hundred men that were appointed with weapons of war.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	18	And these went into Micah's house, and fetched the carved image, the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image. Then said the priest unto them, What do ye?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	19	And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	20	And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	21	So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the carriage before them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	22	And when they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	23	And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah, What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	24	And he said, Ye have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and ye are gone away: and what have I more? and what is this that ye say unto me, What aileth thee?
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	25	And the children of Dan said unto him, Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	26	And the children of Dan went their way: and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	27	And they took the things which Micah had made, and the priest which he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people that were at quiet and secure: and they smote them with the edge of the sword, and burnt the city with fire.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	28	And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	29	And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	30	And the children of Dan set up the graven image: and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.
Judges	Jdgs	7	18	31	And they set them up Micah's graven image, which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	1	And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning on the side of mount Ephraim, who took to him a concubine out of Bethlehemjudah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	2	And his concubine played the whore against him, and went away from him unto her father's house to Bethlehemjudah, and was there four whole months.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	3	And her husband arose, and went after her, to speak friendly unto her, and to bring her again, having his servant with him, and a couple of asses: and she brought him into her father's house: and when the father of the damsel saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	4	And his father in law, the damsel's father, retained him; and he abode with him three days: so they did eat and drink, and lodged there.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	5	And it came to pass on the fourth day, when they arose early in the morning, that he rose up to depart: and the damsel's father said unto his son in law, Comfort thine heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	6	And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, I pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	7	And when the man rose up to depart, his father in law urged him: therefore he lodged there again.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	8	And he arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart: and the damsel's father said, Comfort thine heart, I pray thee. And they tarried until afternoon, and they did eat both of them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	9	And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, I pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	10	But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which is Jerusalem; and there were with him two asses saddled, his concubine also was with him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	11	And when they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said unto his master, Come, I pray thee, and let us turn in into this city of the Jebusites, and lodge in it.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	12	And his master said unto him, We will not turn aside hither into the city of a stranger, that is not of the children of Israel; we will pass over to Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	13	And he said unto his servant, Come, and let us draw near to one of these places to lodge all night, in Gibeah, or in Ramah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	14	And they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down upon them when they were by Gibeah, which belongeth to Benjamin.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	15	And they turned aside thither, to go in and to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for there was no man that took them into his house to lodging.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	16	And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which was also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	17	And when he had lifted up his eyes, he saw a wayfaring man in the street of the city: and the old man said, Whither goest thou? and whence comest thou?
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	18	And he said unto him, We are passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence am I: and I went to Bethlehemjudah, but I am now going to the house of the LORD; and there is no man that receiveth me to house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	19	Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man which is with thy servants: there is no want of any thing.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	20	And the old man said, Peace be with thee; howsoever let all thy wants lie upon me; only lodge not in the street.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	21	So he brought him into his house, and gave provender unto the asses: and they washed their feet, and did eat and drink.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	22	Now as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, and beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	23	And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	24	Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	25	But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	26	Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	27	And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	28	And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her up upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	29	And when he was come into his house, he took a knife, and laid hold on his concubine, and divided her, together with her bones, into twelve pieces, and sent her into all the coasts of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	19	30	And it was so, that all that saw it said, There was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt unto this day: consider of it, take advice, and speak your minds.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	1	Then all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was gathered together as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, unto the LORD in Mizpeh.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	2	And the chief of all the people, even of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen that drew sword.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	3	(Now the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel were gone up to Mizpeh.) Then said the children of Israel, Tell us, how was this wickedness?
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	4	And the Levite, the husband of the woman that was slain, answered and said, I came into Gibeah that belongeth to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to lodge.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	5	And the men of Gibeah rose against me, and beset the house round about upon me by night, and thought to have slain me: and my concubine have they forced, that she is dead.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	6	And I took my concubine, and cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the country of the inheritance of Israel: for they have committed lewdness and folly in Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	7	Behold, ye are all children of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	8	And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any of us go to his tent, neither will we any of us turn into his house.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	9	But now this shall be the thing which we will do to Gibeah; we will go up by lot against it;
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	10	And we will take ten men of an hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, and an hundred of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to fetch victual for the people, that they may do, when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the folly that they have wrought in Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	11	So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, knit together as one man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	12	And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What wickedness is this that is done among you?
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	13	Now therefore deliver us the men, the children of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death, and put away evil from Israel. But the children of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of their brethren the children of Israel:
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	14	But the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out to battle against the children of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	15	And the children of Benjamin were numbered at that time out of the cities twenty and six thousand men that drew sword, beside the inhabitants of Gibeah, which were numbered seven hundred chosen men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	16	Among all this people there were seven hundred chosen men lefthanded; every one could sling stones at an hair breadth, and not miss.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	17	And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, were numbered four hundred thousand men that drew sword: all these were men of war.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	18	And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	19	And the children of Israel rose up in the morning, and encamped against Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	20	And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin; and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	21	And the children of Benjamin came forth out of Gibeah, and destroyed down to the ground of the Israelites that day twenty and two thousand men.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	22	And the people the men of Israel encouraged themselves, and set their battle again in array in the place where they put themselves in array the first day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	23	(And the children of Israel went up and wept before the LORD until even, and asked counsel of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother? And the LORD said, Go up against him.)
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	24	And the children of Israel came near against the children of Benjamin the second day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	25	And Benjamin went forth against them out of Gibeah the second day, and destroyed down to the ground of the children of Israel again eighteen thousand men; all these drew the sword.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	26	Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up, and came unto the house of God, and wept, and sat there before the LORD, and fasted that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	27	And the children of Israel enquired of the LORD, (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	28	And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, stood before it in those days,) saying, Shall I yet again go out to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother, or shall I cease? And the LORD said, Go up; for to morrow I will deliver them into thine hand.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	29	And Israel set liers in wait round about Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	30	And the children of Israel went up against the children of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at other times.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	31	And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city; and they began to smite of the people, and kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goeth up to the house of God, and the other to Gibeah in the field, about thirty men of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	32	And the children of Benjamin said, They are smitten down before us, as at the first. But the children of Israel said, Let us flee, and draw them from the city unto the highways.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	33	And all the men of Israel rose up out of their place, and put themselves in array at Baaltamar: and the liers in wait of Israel came forth out of their places, even out of the meadows of Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	34	And there came against Gibeah ten thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and the battle was sore: but they knew not that evil was near them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	35	And the LORD smote Benjamin before Israel: and the children of Israel destroyed of the Benjamites that day twenty and five thousand and an hundred men: all these drew the sword.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	36	So the children of Benjamin saw that they were smitten: for the men of Israel gave place to the Benjamites, because they trusted unto the liers in wait which they had set beside Gibeah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	37	And the liers in wait hasted, and rushed upon Gibeah; and the liers in wait drew themselves along, and smote all the city with the edge of the sword.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	38	Now there was an appointed sign between the men of Israel and the liers in wait, that they should make a great flame with smoke rise up out of the city.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	39	And when the men of Israel retired in the battle, Benjamin began to smite and kill of the men of Israel about thirty persons: for they said, Surely they are smitten down before us, as in the first battle.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	40	But when the flame began to arise up out of the city with a pillar of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and, behold, the flame of the city ascended up to heaven.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	41	And when the men of Israel turned again, the men of Benjamin were amazed: for they saw that evil was come upon them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	42	Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel unto the way of the wilderness; but the battle overtook them; and them which came out of the cities they destroyed in the midst of them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	43	Thus they inclosed the Benjamites round about, and chased them, and trode them down with ease over against Gibeah toward the sunrising.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	44	And there fell of Benjamin eighteen thousand men; all these were men of valour.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	45	And they turned and fled toward the wilderness unto the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men; and pursued hard after them unto Gidom, and slew two thousand men of them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	46	So that all which fell that day of Benjamin were twenty and five thousand men that drew the sword; all these were men of valour.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	47	But six hundred men turned and fled to the wilderness unto the rock Rimmon, and abode in the rock Rimmon four months.
Judges	Jdgs	7	20	48	And the men of Israel turned again upon the children of Benjamin, and smote them with the edge of the sword, as well the men of every city, as the beast, and all that came to hand: also they set on fire all the cities that they came to.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	1	Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying, There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	2	And the people came to the house of God, and abode there till even before God, and lifted up their voices, and wept sore;
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	3	And said, O LORD God of Israel, why is this come to pass in Israel, that there should be to day one tribe lacking in Israel?
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	4	And it came to pass on the morrow, that the people rose early, and built there an altar, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	5	And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the congregation unto the LORD? For they had made a great oath concerning him that came not up to the LORD to Mizpeh, saying, He shall surely be put to death.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	6	And the children of Israel repented them for Benjamin their brother, and said, There is one tribe cut off from Israel this day.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	7	How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them of our daughters to wives?
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	8	And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up to Mizpeh to the LORD? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabeshgilead to the assembly.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	9	For the people were numbered, and, behold, there were none of the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead there.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	10	And the congregation sent thither twelve thousand men of the valiantest, and commanded them, saying, Go and smite the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the children.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	11	And this is the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	12	And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	13	And the whole congregation sent some to speak to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock Rimmon, and to call peaceably unto them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	14	And Benjamin came again at that time; and they gave them wives which they had saved alive of the women of Jabeshgilead: and yet so they sufficed them not.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	15	And the people repented them for Benjamin, because that the LORD had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	16	Then the elders of the congregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	17	And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	18	Howbeit we may not give them wives of our daughters: for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed be he that giveth a wife to Benjamin.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	19	Then they said, Behold, there is a feast of the LORD in Shiloh yearly in a place which is on the north side of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	20	Therefore they commanded the children of Benjamin, saying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards;
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	21	And see, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	22	And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, that ye should be guilty.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	23	And the children of Benjamin did so, and took them wives, according to their number, of them that danced, whom they caught: and they went and returned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, and dwelt in them.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	24	And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.
Judges	Jdgs	7	21	25	In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	1	Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	2	And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	3	And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left, and her two sons.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	4	And they took them wives of the women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth: and they dwelled there about ten years.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	5	And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	6	Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	7	Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	8	And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	9	The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	10	And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	11	And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	12	Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons;
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	13	Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	14	And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	15	And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sister in law.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	16	And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God:
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	17	Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the LORD do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	18	When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	19	So they two went until they came to Bethlehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Bethlehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	20	And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me.
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	21	I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me?
Ruth	Ruth	8	1	22	So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the country of Moab: and they came to Bethlehem in the beginning of barley harvest.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	1	And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	2	And Ruth the Moabitess said unto Naomi, Let me now go to the field, and glean ears of corn after him in whose sight I shall find grace. And she said unto her, Go, my daughter.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	3	And she went, and came, and gleaned in the field after the reapers: and her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kindred of Elimelech.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	4	And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	5	Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this?
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	6	And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab:
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	7	And she said, I pray you, let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves: so she came, and hath continued even from the morning until now, that she tarried a little in the house.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	8	Then said Boaz unto Ruth, Hearest thou not, my daughter? Go not to glean in another field, neither go from hence, but abide here fast by my maidens:
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	9	Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, and go thou after them: have I not charged the young men that they shall not touch thee? and when thou art athirst, go unto the vessels, and drink of that which the young men have drawn.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	10	Then she fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	11	And Boaz answered and said unto her, It hath fully been shewed me, all that thou hast done unto thy mother in law since the death of thine husband: and how thou hast left thy father and thy mother, and the land of thy nativity, and art come unto a people which thou knewest not heretofore.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	12	The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	13	Then she said, Let me find favour in thy sight, my lord; for that thou hast comforted me, and for that thou hast spoken friendly unto thine handmaid, though I be not like unto one of thine handmaidens.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	14	And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	15	And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	16	And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	17	So she gleaned in the field until even, and beat out that she had gleaned: and it was about an ephah of barley.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	18	And she took it up, and went into the city: and her mother in law saw what she had gleaned: and she brought forth, and gave to her that she had reserved after she was sufficed.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	19	And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom I wrought to day is Boaz.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	20	And Naomi said unto her daughter in law, Blessed be he of the LORD, who hath not left off his kindness to the living and to the dead. And Naomi said unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, one of our next kinsmen.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	21	And Ruth the Moabitess said, He said unto me also, Thou shalt keep fast by my young men, until they have ended all my harvest.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	22	And Naomi said unto Ruth her daughter in law, It is good, my daughter, that thou go out with his maidens, that they meet thee not in any other field.
Ruth	Ruth	8	2	23	So she kept fast by the maidens of Boaz to glean unto the end of barley harvest and of wheat harvest; and dwelt with her mother in law.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	1	Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	2	And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshingfloor.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	3	Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	4	And it shall be, when he lieth down, that thou shalt mark the place where he shall lie, and thou shalt go in, and uncover his feet, and lay thee down; and he will tell thee what thou shalt do.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	5	And she said unto her, All that thou sayest unto me I will do.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	6	And she went down unto the floor, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	7	And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	8	And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	9	And he said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou art a near kinsman.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	10	And he said, Blessed be thou of the LORD, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindness in the latter end than at the beginning, inasmuch as thou followedst not young men, whether poor or rich.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	11	And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest: for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	12	And now it is true that I am thy near kinsman: howbeit there is a kinsman nearer than I.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	13	Tarry this night, and it shall be in the morning, that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinsman, well; let him do the kinsman's part: but if he will not do the part of a kinsman to thee, then will I do the part of a kinsman to thee, as the LORD liveth: lie down until the morning.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	14	And she lay at his feet until the morning: and she rose up before one could know another. And he said, Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	15	Also he said, Bring the vail that thou hast upon thee, and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six measures of barley, and laid it on her: and she went into the city.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	16	And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who art thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	17	And she said, These six measures of barley gave he me; for he said to me, Go not empty unto thy mother in law.
Ruth	Ruth	8	3	18	Then said she, Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	1	Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by; unto whom he said, Ho, such a one! turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and sat down.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	2	And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	3	And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's:
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	4	And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	5	Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	6	And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	7	Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	8	Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	9	And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	10	Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	11	And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Rachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worthily in Ephratah, and be famous in Bethlehem:
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	12	And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	13	So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	14	And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	15	And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	16	And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	17	And the women her neighbours gave it a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi; and they called his name Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	18	Now these are the generations of Pharez: Pharez begat Hezron,
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	19	And Hezron begat Ram, and Ram begat Amminadab,
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	20	And Amminadab begat Nahshon, and Nahshon begat Salmon,
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	21	And Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,
Ruth	Ruth	8	4	22	And Obed begat Jesse, and Jesse begat David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	1	Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	2	And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	3	And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	4	And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	5	But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	6	And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	7	And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	8	Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	9	So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk. Now Eli the priest sat upon a seat by a post of the temple of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	10	And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the LORD, and wept sore.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	11	And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	12	And it came to pass, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli marked her mouth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	13	Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard: therefore Eli thought she had been drunken.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	14	And Eli said unto her, How long wilt thou be drunken? put away thy wine from thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	15	And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	16	Count not thine handmaid for a daughter of Belial: for out of the abundance of my complaint and grief have I spoken hitherto.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	17	Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	18	And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	19	And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD, and returned, and came to their house to Ramah: and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	20	Wherefore it came to pass, when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived, that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked him of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	21	And the man Elkanah, and all his house, went up to offer unto the LORD the yearly sacrifice, and his vow.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	22	But Hannah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before the LORD, and there abide for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	23	And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only the LORD establish his word. So the woman abode, and gave her son suck until she weaned him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	24	And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bullocks, and one ephah of flour, and a bottle of wine, and brought him unto the house of the LORD in Shiloh: and the child was young.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	25	And they slew a bullock, and brought the child to Eli.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	26	And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	27	For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	1	28	Therefore also I have lent him to the LORD; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the LORD. And he worshipped the LORD there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	1	And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	2	There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	3	Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	4	The bows of the mighty men are broken, and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	5	They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	6	The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	7	The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	8	He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	9	He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	10	The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	11	And Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child did minister unto the LORD before Eli the priest.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	12	Now the sons of Eli were sons of Belial; they knew not the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	13	And the priests' custom with the people was, that, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	14	And he struck it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fleshhook brought up the priest took for himself. So they did in Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	15	Also before they burnt the fat, the priest's servant came, and said to the man that sacrificed, Give flesh to roast for the priest; for he will not have sodden flesh of thee, but raw.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	16	And if any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and then take as much as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, Nay; but thou shalt give it me now: and if not, I will take it by force.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	17	Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD: for men abhorred the offering of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	18	But Samuel ministered before the LORD, being a child, girded with a linen ephod.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	19	Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	20	And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of this woman for the loan which is lent to the LORD. And they went unto their own home.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	21	And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	22	Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	23	And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	24	Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the LORD's people to transgress.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	25	If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the LORD, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the LORD would slay them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	26	And the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the LORD, and also with men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	27	And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did I plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	28	And did I choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to offer upon mine altar, to burn incense, to wear an ephod before me? and did I give unto the house of thy father all the offerings made by fire of the children of Israel?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	29	Wherefore kick ye at my sacrifice and at mine offering, which I have commanded in my habitation; and honourest thy sons above me, to make yourselves fat with the chiefest of all the offerings of Israel my people?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	30	Wherefore the LORD God of Israel saith, I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should walk before me for ever: but now the LORD saith, Be it far from me; for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	31	Behold, the days come, that I will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	32	And thou shalt see an enemy in my habitation, in all the wealth which God shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	33	And the man of thine, whom I shall not cut off from mine altar, shall be to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	34	And this shall be a sign unto thee, that shall come upon thy two sons, on Hophni and Phinehas; in one day they shall die both of them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	35	And I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which is in mine heart and in my mind: and I will build him a sure house; and he shall walk before mine anointed for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	2	36	And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left in thine house shall come and crouch to him for a piece of silver and a morsel of bread, and shall say, Put me, I pray thee, into one of the priests' offices, that I may eat a piece of bread.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	1	And the child Samuel ministered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	2	And it came to pass at that time, when Eli was laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax dim, that he could not see;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	3	And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was, and Samuel was laid down to sleep;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	4	That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	5	And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	6	And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	7	Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	8	And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	9	Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	10	And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	11	And the LORD said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	12	In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	13	For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	14	And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	15	And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened the doors of the house of the LORD. And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	16	Then Eli called Samuel, and said, Samuel, my son. And he answered, Here am I.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	17	And he said, What is the thing that the LORD hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me: God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he said unto thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	18	And Samuel told him every whit, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is the LORD: let him do what seemeth him good.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	19	And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	20	And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	3	21	And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh: for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	1	And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and pitched beside Ebenezer: and the Philistines pitched in Aphek.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	2	And the Philistines put themselves in array against Israel: and when they joined battle, Israel was smitten before the Philistines: and they slew of the army in the field about four thousand men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	3	And when the people were come into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Wherefore hath the LORD smitten us to day before the Philistines? Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of Shiloh unto us, that, when it cometh among us, it may save us out of the hand of our enemies.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	4	So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	5	And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	6	And when the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, What meaneth the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews? And they understood that the ark of the LORD was come into the camp.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	7	And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God is come into the camp. And they said, Woe unto us! for there hath not been such a thing heretofore.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	8	Woe unto us! who shall deliver us out of the hand of these mighty Gods? these are the Gods that smote the Egyptians with all the plagues in the wilderness.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	9	Be strong, and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	10	And the Philistines fought, and Israel was smitten, and they fled every man into his tent: and there was a very great slaughter; for there fell of Israel thirty thousand footmen.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	11	And the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were slain.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	12	And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the army, and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes rent, and with earth upon his head.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	13	And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told it, all the city cried out.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	14	And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What meaneth the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	15	Now Eli was ninety and eight years old; and his eyes were dim, that he could not see.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	16	And the man said unto Eli, I am he that came out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	17	And the messenger answered and said, Israel is fled before the Philistines, and there hath been also a great slaughter among the people, and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas, are dead, and the ark of God is taken.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	18	And it came to pass, when he made mention of the ark of God, that he fell from off the seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck brake, and he died: for he was an old man, and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	19	And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was with child, near to be delivered: and when she heard the tidings that the ark of God was taken, and that her father in law and her husband were dead, she bowed herself and travailed; for her pains came upon her.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	20	And about the time of her death the women that stood by her said unto her, Fear not; for thou hast born a son. But she answered not, neither did she regard it.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	21	And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	4	22	And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	1	And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	2	When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	3	And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	4	And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	5	Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	6	But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	7	And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	8	They sent therefore and gathered all the lords of the Philistines unto them, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the God of Israel about thither.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	9	And it was so, that, after they had carried it about, the hand of the LORD was against the city with a very great destruction: and he smote the men of the city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	10	Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And it came to pass, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought about the ark of the God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	11	So they sent and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go again to his own place, that it slay us not, and our people: for there was a deadly destruction throughout all the city; the hand of God was very heavy there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	5	12	And the men that died not were smitten with the emerods: and the cry of the city went up to heaven.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	1	And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines seven months.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	2	And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the LORD? tell us wherewith we shall send it to his place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	3	And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	4	Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	5	Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	6	Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	7	Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	8	And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	9	And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Bethshemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us: it was a chance that happened to us.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	10	And the men did so; and took two milch kine, and tied them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	11	And they laid the ark of the LORD upon the cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold and the images of their emerods.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	12	And the kine took the straight way to the way of Bethshemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left; and the lords of the Philistines went after them unto the border of Bethshemesh.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	13	And they of Bethshemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley: and they lifted up their eyes, and saw the ark, and rejoiced to see it.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	14	And the cart came into the field of Joshua, a Bethshemite, and stood there, where there was a great stone: and they clave the wood of the cart, and offered the kine a burnt offering unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	15	And the Levites took down the ark of the LORD, and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of gold were, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Bethshemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices the same day unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	16	And when the five lords of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	17	And these are the golden emerods which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering unto the LORD; for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for Gath one, for Ekron one;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	18	And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the LORD: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	19	And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	20	And the men of Bethshemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	6	21	And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim, saying, The Philistines have brought again the ark of the LORD; come ye down, and fetch it up to you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	1	And the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched up the ark of the LORD, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	2	And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	3	And Samuel spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the LORD, and serve him only: and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	4	Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and Ashtaroth, and served the LORD only.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	5	And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	6	And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	7	And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	8	And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD our God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	9	And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the LORD: and Samuel cried unto the LORD for Israel; and the LORD heard him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	10	And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	11	And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Bethcar.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	12	Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	13	So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more into the coast of Israel: and the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	14	And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even unto Gath; and the coasts thereof did Israel deliver out of the hands of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	15	And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	16	And he went from year to year in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal, and Mizpeh, and judged Israel in all those places.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	7	17	And his return was to Ramah; for there was his house; and there he judged Israel; and there he built an altar unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	1	And it came to pass, when Samuel was old, that he made his sons judges over Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	2	Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	3	And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	4	Then all the elders of Israel gathered themselves together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	5	And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	6	But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	7	And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	8	According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, wherewith they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so do they also unto thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	9	Now therefore hearken unto their voice: howbeit yet protest solemnly unto them, and shew them the manner of the king that shall reign over them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	10	And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	11	And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen; and some shall run before his chariots.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	12	And he will appoint him captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his instruments of war, and instruments of his chariots.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	13	And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	14	And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliveyards, even the best of them, and give them to his servants.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	15	And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and give to his officers, and to his servants.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	16	And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	17	He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	18	And ye shall cry out in that day because of your king which ye shall have chosen you; and the LORD will not hear you in that day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	19	Nevertheless the people refused to obey the voice of Samuel; and they said, Nay; but we will have a king over us;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	20	That we also may be like all the nations; and that our king may judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	21	And Samuel heard all the words of the people, and he rehearsed them in the ears of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	8	22	And the LORD said to Samuel, Hearken unto their voice, and make them a king. And Samuel said unto the men of Israel, Go ye every man unto his city.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	1	Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	2	And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher than any of the people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	3	And the asses of Kish Saul's father were lost. And Kish said to Saul his son, Take now one of the servants with thee, and arise, go seek the asses.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	4	And he passed through mount Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalisha, but they found them not: then they passed through the land of Shalim, and there they were not: and he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	5	And when they were come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant that was with him, Come, and let us return; lest my father leave caring for the asses, and take thought for us.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	6	And he said unto him, Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	7	Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and there is not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	8	And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, I have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: that will I give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	9	(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	10	Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God was.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	11	And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	12	And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	13	As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up; for about this time ye shall find him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	14	And they went up into the city: and when they were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out against them, for to go up to the high place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	15	Now the LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, saying,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	16	To morrow about this time I will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	17	And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom I spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	18	Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house is.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	19	And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	20	And as for thine asses that were lost three days ago, set not thy mind on them; for they are found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on thee, and on all thy father's house?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	21	And Saul answered and said, Am not I a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? wherefore then speakest thou so to me?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	22	And Samuel took Saul and his servant, and brought them into the parlour, and made them sit in the chiefest place among them that were bidden, which were about thirty persons.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	23	And Samuel said unto the cook, Bring the portion which I gave thee, of which I said unto thee, Set it by thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	24	And the cook took up the shoulder, and that which was upon it, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, Behold that which is left! set it before thee, and eat: for unto this time hath it been kept for thee since I said, I have invited the people. So Saul did eat with Samuel that day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	25	And when they were come down from the high place into the city, Samuel communed with Saul upon the top of the house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	26	And they arose early: and it came to pass about the spring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the top of the house, saying, Up, that I may send thee away. And Saul arose, and they went out both of them, he and Samuel, abroad.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	9	27	And as they were going down to the end of the city, Samuel said to Saul, Bid the servant pass on before us, (and he passed on), but stand thou still a while, that I may shew thee the word of God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	1	Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	2	When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	3	Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	4	And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	5	After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall prophesy:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	6	And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	7	And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occasion serve thee; for God is with thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	8	And thou shalt go down before me to Gilgal; and, behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer burnt offerings, and to sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings: seven days shalt thou tarry, till I come to thee, and shew thee what thou shalt do.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	9	And it was so, that when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, God gave him another heart: and all those signs came to pass that day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	10	And when they came thither to the hill, behold, a company of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	11	And it came to pass, when all that knew him beforetime saw that, behold, he prophesied among the prophets, then the people said one to another, What is this that is come unto the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	12	And one of the same place answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb, Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	13	And when he had made an end of prophesying, he came to the high place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	14	And Saul's uncle said unto him and to his servant, Whither went ye? And he said, To seek the asses: and when we saw that they were no where, we came to Samuel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	15	And Saul's uncle said, Tell me, I pray thee, what Samuel said unto you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	16	And Saul said unto his uncle, He told us plainly that the asses were found. But of the matter of the kingdom, whereof Samuel spake, he told him not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	17	And Samuel called the people together unto the LORD to Mizpeh;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	18	And said unto the children of Israel, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all kingdoms, and of them that oppressed you:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	19	And ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king over us. Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes, and by your thousands.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	20	And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	21	When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was taken, and Saul the son of Kish was taken: and when they sought him, he could not be found.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	22	Therefore they enquired of the LORD further, if the man should yet come thither. And the LORD answered, Behold, he hath hid himself among the stuff.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	23	And they ran and fetched him thence: and when he stood among the people, he was higher than any of the people from his shoulders and upward.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	24	And Samuel said to all the people, See ye him whom the LORD hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? And all the people shouted, and said, God save the king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	25	Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote it in a book, and laid it up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	26	And Saul also went home to Gibeah; and there went with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	10	27	But the children of Belial said, How shall this man save us? And they despised him, and brought him no presents. But he held his peace.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	1	Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	2	And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition will I make a covenant with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it for a reproach upon all Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	3	And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if there be no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	4	Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	5	And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	6	And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	7	And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	8	And when he numbered them in Bezek, the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	9	And they said unto the messengers that came, Thus shall ye say unto the men of Jabeshgilead, To morrow, by that time the sun be hot, ye shall have help. And the messengers came and shewed it to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	10	Therefore the men of Jabesh said, To morrow we will come out unto you, and ye shall do with us all that seemeth good unto you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	11	And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the host in the morning watch, and slew the Ammonites until the heat of the day: and it came to pass, that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them were not left together.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	12	And the people said unto Samuel, Who is he that said, Shall Saul reign over us? bring the men, that we may put them to death.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	13	And Saul said, There shall not a man be put to death this day: for to day the LORD hath wrought salvation in Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	14	Then said Samuel to the people, Come, and let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	11	15	And all the people went to Gilgal; and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal; and there they sacrificed sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	1	And Samuel said unto all Israel, Behold, I have hearkened unto your voice in all that ye said unto me, and have made a king over you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	2	And now, behold, the king walketh before you: and I am old and grayheaded; and, behold, my sons are with you: and I have walked before you from my childhood unto this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	3	Behold, here I am: witness against me before the LORD, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? or whose ass have I taken? or whom have I defrauded? whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? and I will restore it you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	4	And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	5	And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	6	And Samuel said unto the people, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron, and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	7	Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	8	When Jacob was come into Egypt, and your fathers cried unto the LORD, then the LORD sent Moses and Aaron, which brought forth your fathers out of Egypt, and made them dwell in this place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	9	And when they forgat the LORD their God, he sold them into the hand of Sisera, captain of the host of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	10	And they cried unto the LORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth: but now deliver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	11	And the LORD sent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the hand of your enemies on every side, and ye dwelled safe.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	12	And when ye saw that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon came against you, ye said unto me, Nay; but a king shall reign over us: when the LORD your God was your king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	13	Now therefore behold the king whom ye have chosen, and whom ye have desired! and, behold, the LORD hath set a king over you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	14	If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	15	But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	16	Now therefore stand and see this great thing, which the LORD will do before your eyes.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	17	Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	18	So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	19	And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	20	And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the LORD, but serve the LORD with all your heart;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	21	And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	22	For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	23	Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	24	Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	12	25	But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	1	Saul reigned one year; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	2	Saul chose him three thousand men of Israel; whereof two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	3	And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	4	And all Israel heard say that Saul had smitten a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel also was had in abomination with the Philistines. And the people were called together after Saul to Gilgal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	5	And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the sea shore in multitude: and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, eastward from Bethaven.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	6	When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait, (for the people were distressed,) then the people did hide themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and in pits.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	7	And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	8	And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	9	And Saul said, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	10	And it came to pass, that as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	11	And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	12	Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	13	And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	14	But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	15	And Samuel arose, and gat him up from Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people that were present with him, about six hundred men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	16	And Saul, and Jonathan his son, and the people that were present with them, abode in Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines encamped in Michmash.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	17	And the spoilers came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned unto the way that leadeth to Ophrah, unto the land of Shual:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	18	And another company turned the way to Bethhoron: and another company turned to the way of the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboim toward the wilderness.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	19	Now there was no smith found throughout all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, Lest the Hebrews make them swords or spears:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	20	But all the Israelites went down to the Philistines, to sharpen every man his share, and his coulter, and his axe, and his mattock.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	21	Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	22	So it came to pass in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan: but with Saul and with Jonathan his son was there found.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	13	23	And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the passage of Michmash.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	1	Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that is on the other side. But he told not his father.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	2	And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron: and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	3	And Ahiah, the son of Ahitub, Ichabod's brother, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the LORD's priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	4	And between the passages, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp rock on the one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	5	The forefront of the one was situate northward over against Michmash, and the other southward over against Gibeah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	6	And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for there is no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	7	And his armourbearer said unto him, Do all that is in thine heart: turn thee; behold, I am with thee according to thy heart.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	8	Then said Jonathan, Behold, we will pass over unto these men, and we will discover ourselves unto them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	9	If they say thus unto us, Tarry until we come to you; then we will stand still in our place, and will not go up unto them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	10	But if they say thus, Come up unto us; then we will go up: for the LORD hath delivered them into our hand: and this shall be a sign unto us.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	11	And both of them discovered themselves unto the garrison of the Philistines: and the Philistines said, Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes where they had hid themselves.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	12	And the men of the garrison answered Jonathan and his armourbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said unto his armourbearer, Come up after me: for the LORD hath delivered them into the hand of Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	13	And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and upon his feet, and his armourbearer after him: and they fell before Jonathan; and his armourbearer slew after him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	14	And that first slaughter, which Jonathan and his armourbearer made, was about twenty men, within as it were an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen might plow.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	15	And there was trembling in the host, in the field, and among all the people: the garrison, and the spoilers, they also trembled, and the earth quaked: so it was a very great trembling.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	16	And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benjamin looked; and, behold, the multitude melted away, and they went on beating down one another.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	17	Then said Saul unto the people that were with him, Number now, and see who is gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armourbearer were not there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	18	And Saul said unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark of God. For the ark of God was at that time with the children of Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	19	And it came to pass, while Saul talked unto the priest, that the noise that was in the host of the Philistines went on and increased: and Saul said unto the priest, Withdraw thine hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	20	And Saul and all the people that were with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was a very great discomfiture.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	21	Moreover the Hebrews that were with the Philistines before that time, which went up with them into the camp from the country round about, even they also turned to be with the Israelites that were with Saul and Jonathan.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	22	Likewise all the men of Israel which had hid themselves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines fled, even they also followed hard after them in the battle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	23	So the LORD saved Israel that day: and the battle passed over unto Bethaven.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	24	And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food until evening, that I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted any food.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	25	And all they of the land came to a wood; and there was honey upon the ground.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	26	And when the people were come into the wood, behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand to his mouth: for the people feared the oath.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	27	But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	28	Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed be the man that eateth any food this day. And the people were faint.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	29	Then said Jonathan, My father hath troubled the land: see, I pray you, how mine eyes have been enlightened, because I tasted a little of this honey.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	30	How much more, if haply the people had eaten freely to day of the spoil of their enemies which they found? for had there not been now a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	31	And they smote the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were very faint.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	32	And the people flew upon the spoil, and took sheep, and oxen, and calves, and slew them on the ground: and the people did eat them with the blood.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	33	Then they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people sin against the LORD, in that they eat with the blood. And he said, Ye have transgressed: roll a great stone unto me this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	34	And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay them here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew them there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	35	And Saul built an altar unto the LORD: the same was the first altar that he built unto the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	36	And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	37	And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into the hand of Israel? But he answered him not that day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	38	And Saul said, Draw ye near hither, all the chief of the people: and know and see wherein this sin hath been this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	39	For, as the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people that answered him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	40	Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do what seemeth good unto thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	41	Therefore Saul said unto the LORD God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken: but the people escaped.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	42	And Saul said, Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son. And Jonathan was taken.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	43	Then Saul said to Jonathan, Tell me what thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and said, I did but taste a little honey with the end of the rod that was in mine hand, and, lo, I must die.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	44	And Saul answered, God do so and more also: for thou shalt surely die, Jonathan.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	45	And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	46	Then Saul went up from following the Philistines: and the Philistines went to their own place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	47	So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, and fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, and against the children of Ammon, and against Edom, and against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines: and whithersoever he turned himself, he vexed them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	48	And he gathered an host, and smote the Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	49	Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan, and Ishui, and Melchishua: and the names of his two daughters were these; the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	50	And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz: and the name of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	51	And Kish was the father of Saul; and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	14	52	And there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul: and when Saul saw any strong man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	1	Samuel also said unto Saul, The LORD sent me to anoint thee to be king over his people, over Israel: now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of the words of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	2	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way, when he came up from Egypt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	3	Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	4	And Saul gathered the people together, and numbered them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Judah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	5	And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and laid wait in the valley.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	6	And Saul said unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get you down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for ye shewed kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	7	And Saul smote the Amalekites from Havilah until thou comest to Shur, that is over against Egypt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	8	And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites alive, and utterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	9	But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheep, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them: but every thing that was vile and refuse, that they destroyed utterly.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	10	Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	11	It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the LORD all night.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	12	And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and, behold, he set him up a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone down to Gilgal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	13	And Samuel came to Saul: and Saul said unto him, Blessed be thou of the LORD: I have performed the commandment of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	14	And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	15	And Saul said, They have brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the oxen, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God; and the rest we have utterly destroyed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	16	Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the LORD hath said to me this night. And he said unto him, Say on.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	17	And Samuel said, When thou wast little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	18	And the LORD sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them until they be consumed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	19	Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	20	And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice of the LORD, and have gone the way which the LORD sent me, and have brought Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	21	But the people took of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto the LORD thy God in Gilgal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	22	And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	23	For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	24	And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	25	Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	26	And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	27	And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid hold upon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	28	And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	29	And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he is not a man, that he should repent.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	30	Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	31	So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul worshipped the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	32	Then said Samuel, Bring ye hither to me Agag the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came unto him delicately. And Agag said, Surely the bitterness of death is past.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	33	And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	34	Then Samuel went to Ramah; and Saul went up to his house to Gibeah of Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	15	35	And Samuel came no more to see Saul until the day of his death: nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul: and the LORD repented that he had made Saul king over Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	1	And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	2	And Samuel said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	3	And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will shew thee what thou shalt do: and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I name unto thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	4	And Samuel did that which the LORD spake, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	5	And he said, Peaceably: I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	6	And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	7	But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	8	Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	9	Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	10	Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	11	And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	12	And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	13	Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	14	But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	15	And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil spirit from God troubleth thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	16	Let our lord now command thy servants, which are before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	17	And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	18	Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	19	Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with the sheep.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	20	And Jesse took an ass laden with bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by David his son unto Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	21	And David came to Saul, and stood before him: and he loved him greatly; and he became his armourbearer.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	22	And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let David, I pray thee, stand before me; for he hath found favour in my sight.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	16	23	And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	1	Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	2	And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	3	And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	4	And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	5	And he had an helmet of brass upon his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail; and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of brass.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	6	And he had greaves of brass upon his legs, and a target of brass between his shoulders.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	7	And the staff of his spear was like a weaver's beam; and his spear's head weighed six hundred shekels of iron: and one bearing a shield went before him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	8	And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set your battle in array? am not I a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	9	If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail against him, and kill him, then shall ye be our servants, and serve us.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	10	And the Philistine said, I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	11	When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	12	Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name was Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men for an old man in the days of Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	13	And the three eldest sons of Jesse went and followed Saul to the battle: and the names of his three sons that went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	14	And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	15	But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	16	And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	17	And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	18	And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of their thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	19	Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	20	And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	21	For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	22	And David left his carriage in the hand of the keeper of the carriage, and ran into the army, and came and saluted his brethren.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	23	And as he talked with them, behold, there came up the champion, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, out of the armies of the Philistines, and spake according to the same words: and David heard them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	24	And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him, and were sore afraid.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	25	And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, that the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	26	And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	27	And the people answered him after this manner, saying, So shall it be done to the man that killeth him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	28	And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	29	And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	30	And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	31	And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	32	And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	33	And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	34	And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	35	And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	36	Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	37	David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	38	And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	39	And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	40	And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	41	And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	42	And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	43	And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	44	And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	45	Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	46	This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	47	And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	48	And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	49	And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	50	So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	51	Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	52	And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	53	And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	54	And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	55	And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	56	And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	57	And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	17	58	And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	1	And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	2	And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	3	Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	4	And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	5	And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	6	And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	7	And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	8	And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	9	And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	10	And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	11	And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	12	And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	13	Therefore Saul removed him from him, and made him his captain over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	14	And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	15	Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	16	But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	17	And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles. For Saul said, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	18	And David said unto Saul, Who am I? and what is my life, or my father's family in Israel, that I should be son in law to the king?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	19	But it came to pass at the time when Merab Saul's daughter should have been given to David, that she was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	20	And Michal Saul's daughter loved David: and they told Saul, and the thing pleased him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	21	And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	22	And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	23	And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	24	And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	25	And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	26	And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	27	Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	28	And Saul saw and knew that the LORD was with David, and that Michal Saul's daughter loved him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	29	And Saul was yet the more afraid of David; and Saul became David's enemy continually.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	18	30	Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	1	And Saul spake to Jonathan his son, and to all his servants, that they should kill David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	2	But Jonathan Saul's son delighted much in David: and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	3	And I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	4	And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward very good:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	5	For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the LORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against innocent blood, to slay David without a cause?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	6	And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	7	And Jonathan called David, and Jonathan shewed him all those things. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence, as in times past.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	8	And there was war again: and David went out, and fought with the Philistines, and slew them with a great slaughter; and they fled from him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	9	And the evil spirit from the LORD was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in his hand: and David played with his hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	10	And Saul sought to smite David even to the wall with the javelin, but he slipped away out of Saul's presence, and he smote the javelin into the wall: and David fled, and escaped that night.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	11	Saul also sent messengers unto David's house, to watch him, and to slay him in the morning: and Michal David's wife told him, saying, If thou save not thy life to night, to morrow thou shalt be slain.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	12	So Michal let David down through a window: and he went, and fled, and escaped.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	13	And Michal took an image, and laid it in the bed, and put a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster, and covered it with a cloth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	14	And when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	15	And Saul sent the messengers again to see David, saying, Bring him up to me in the bed, that I may slay him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	16	And when the messengers were come in, behold, there was an image in the bed, with a pillow of goats' hair for his bolster.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	17	And Saul said unto Michal, Why hast thou deceived me so, and sent away mine enemy, that he is escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said unto me, Let me go; why should I kill thee?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	18	So David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	19	And it was told Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	20	And Saul sent messengers to take David: and when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	21	And when it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. And Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they prophesied also.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	22	Then went he also to Ramah, and came to a great well that is in Sechu: and he asked and said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, Behold, they be at Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	23	And he went thither to Naioth in Ramah: and the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he went on, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	19	24	And he stripped off his clothes also, and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Wherefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	1	And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said before Jonathan, What have I done? what is mine iniquity? and what is my sin before thy father, that he seeketh my life?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	2	And he said unto him, God forbid; thou shalt not die: behold, my father will do nothing either great or small, but that he will shew it me: and why should my father hide this thing from me? it is not so.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	3	And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	4	Then said Jonathan unto David, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	5	And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat: but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	6	If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	7	If he say thus, It is well; thy servant shall have peace: but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is determined by him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	8	Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	9	And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were determined by my father to come upon thee, then would not I tell it thee?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	10	Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall tell me? or what if thy father answer thee roughly?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	11	And Jonathan said unto David, Come, and let us go out into the field. And they went out both of them into the field.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	12	And Jonathan said unto David, O LORD God of Israel, when I have sounded my father about to morrow any time, or the third day, and, behold, if there be good toward David, and I then send not unto thee, and shew it thee;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	13	The LORD do so and much more to Jonathan: but if it please my father to do thee evil, then I will shew it thee, and send thee away, that thou mayest go in peace: and the LORD be with thee, as he hath been with my father.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	14	And thou shalt not only while yet I live shew me the kindness of the LORD, that I die not:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	15	But also thou shalt not cut off thy kindness from my house for ever: no, not when the LORD hath cut off the enemies of David every one from the face of the earth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	16	So Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, saying, Let the LORD even require it at the hand of David's enemies.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	17	And Jonathan caused David to swear again, because he loved him: for he loved him as he loved his own soul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	18	Then Jonathan said to David, To morrow is the new moon: and thou shalt be missed, because thy seat will be empty.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	19	And when thou hast stayed three days, then thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in hand, and shalt remain by the stone Ezel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	20	And I will shoot three arrows on the side thereof, as though I shot at a mark.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	21	And, behold, I will send a lad, saying, Go, find out the arrows. If I expressly say unto the lad, Behold, the arrows are on this side of thee, take them; then come thou: for there is peace to thee, and no hurt; as the LORD liveth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	22	But if I say thus unto the young man, Behold, the arrows are beyond thee; go thy way: for the LORD hath sent thee away.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	23	And as touching the matter which thou and I have spoken of, behold, the LORD be between thee and me for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	24	So David hid himself in the field: and when the new moon was come, the king sat him down to eat meat.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	25	And the king sat upon his seat, as at other times, even upon a seat by the wall: and Jonathan arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's place was empty.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	26	Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing that day: for he thought, Something hath befallen him, he is not clean; surely he is not clean.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	27	And it came to pass on the morrow, which was the second day of the month, that David's place was empty: and Saul said unto Jonathan his son, Wherefore cometh not the son of Jesse to meat, neither yesterday, nor to day?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	28	And Jonathan answered Saul, David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	29	And he said, Let me go, I pray thee; for our family hath a sacrifice in the city; and my brother, he hath commanded me to be there: and now, if I have found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray thee, and see my brethren. Therefore he cometh not unto the king's table.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	30	Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	31	For as long as the son of Jesse liveth upon the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Wherefore now send and fetch him unto me, for he shall surely die.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	32	And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said unto him, Wherefore shall he be slain? what hath he done?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	33	And Saul cast a javelin at him to smite him: whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of his father to slay David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	34	So Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the month: for he was grieved for David, because his father had done him shame.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	35	And it came to pass in the morning, that Jonathan went out into the field at the time appointed with David, and a little lad with him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	36	And he said unto his lad, Run, find out now the arrows which I shoot. And as the lad ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	37	And when the lad was come to the place of the arrow which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan cried after the lad, and said, Is not the arrow beyond thee?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	38	And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make speed, haste, stay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the arrows, and came to his master.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	39	But the lad knew not any thing: only Jonathan and David knew the matter.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	40	And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his lad, and said unto him, Go, carry them to the city.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	41	And as soon as the lad was gone, David arose out of a place toward the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed himself three times: and they kissed one another, and wept one with another, until David exceeded.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	20	42	And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, forasmuch as we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, The LORD be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into the city.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	1	Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	2	And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	3	Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	4	And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	5	And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	6	So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	7	Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	8	And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	9	And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	10	And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	11	And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	12	And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	13	And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	14	Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	21	15	Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	1	David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	2	And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	3	And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	4	And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	5	And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	6	When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	7	Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	8	That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	9	Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	10	And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	11	Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	12	And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	13	And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	14	Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	15	Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	16	And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	17	And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	18	And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	19	And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	20	And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	21	And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	22	And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	22	23	Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	1	Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	2	Therefore David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the LORD said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	3	And David's men said unto him, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah: how much more then if we come to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	4	Then David enquired of the LORD yet again. And the LORD answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah; for I will deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	5	So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought with the Philistines, and brought away their cattle, and smote them with a great slaughter. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	6	And it came to pass, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	7	And it was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. And Saul said, God hath delivered him into mine hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that hath gates and bars.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	8	And Saul called all the people together to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	9	And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	10	Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	11	Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	12	Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	13	Then David and his men, which were about six hundred, arose and departed out of Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go. And it was told Saul that David was escaped from Keilah; and he forbare to go forth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	14	And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	15	And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	16	And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	17	And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	18	And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	19	Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself with us in strong holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	20	Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of thy soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	21	And Saul said, Blessed be ye of the LORD; for ye have compassion on me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	22	Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, and who hath seen him there: for it is told me that he dealeth very subtilly.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	23	See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	24	And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	25	Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	26	And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	27	But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	28	Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	23	29	And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	1	And it came to pass, when Saul was returned from following the Philistines, that it was told him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	2	Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	3	And he came to the sheepcotes by the way, where was a cave; and Saul went in to cover his feet: and David and his men remained in the sides of the cave.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	4	And the men of David said unto him, Behold the day of which the LORD said unto thee, Behold, I will deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou mayest do to him as it shall seem good unto thee. Then David arose, and cut off the skirt of Saul's robe privily.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	5	And it came to pass afterward, that David's heart smote him, because he had cut off Saul's skirt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	6	And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my master, the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	7	So David stayed his servants with these words, and suffered them not to rise against Saul. But Saul rose up out of the cave, and went on his way.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	8	David also arose afterward, and went out of the cave, and cried after Saul, saying, My lord the king. And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed himself.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	9	And David said to Saul, Wherefore hearest thou men's words, saying, Behold, David seeketh thy hurt?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	10	Behold, this day thine eyes have seen how that the LORD had delivered thee to day into mine hand in the cave: and some bade me kill thee: but mine eye spared thee; and I said, I will not put forth mine hand against my lord; for he is the LORD's anointed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	11	Moreover, my father, see, yea, see the skirt of thy robe in my hand: for in that I cut off the skirt of thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and see that there is neither evil nor transgression in mine hand, and I have not sinned against thee; yet thou huntest my soul to take it.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	12	The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	13	As saith the proverb of the ancients, Wickedness proceedeth from the wicked: but mine hand shall not be upon thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	14	After whom is the king of Israel come out? after whom dost thou pursue? after a dead dog, after a flea.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	15	The LORD therefore be judge, and judge between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	16	And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	17	And he said to David, Thou art more righteous than I: for thou hast rewarded me good, whereas I have rewarded thee evil.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	18	And thou hast shewed this day how that thou hast dealt well with me: forasmuch as when the LORD had delivered me into thine hand, thou killedst me not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	19	For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away? wherefore the LORD reward thee good for that thou hast done unto me this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	20	And now, behold, I know well that thou shalt surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in thine hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	21	Swear now therefore unto me by the LORD, that thou wilt not cut off my seed after me, and that thou wilt not destroy my name out of my father's house.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	24	22	And David sware unto Saul. And Saul went home; but David and his men gat them up unto the hold.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	1	And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	2	And there was a man in Maon, whose possessions were in Carmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	3	Now the name of the man was Nabal; and the name of his wife Abigail: and she was a woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful countenance: but the man was churlish and evil in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	4	And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal did shear his sheep.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	5	And David sent out ten young men, and David said unto the young men, Get you up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	6	And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	7	And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	8	Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	9	And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	10	And Nabal answered David's servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	11	Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men, whom I know not whence they be?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	12	So David's young men turned their way, and went again, and came and told him all those sayings.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	13	And David said unto his men, Gird ye on every man his sword. And they girded on every man his sword; and David also girded on his sword: and there went up after David about four hundred men; and two hundred abode by the stuff.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	14	But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	15	But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	16	They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	17	Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	18	Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	19	And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	20	And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	21	Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	22	So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	23	And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	24	And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	25	Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	26	Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the LORD hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	27	And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	28	I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	29	Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	30	And it shall come to pass, when the LORD shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	31	That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the LORD shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	32	And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	33	And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	34	For in very deed, as the LORD God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	35	So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	36	And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	37	But it came to pass in the morning, when the wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told him these things, that his heart died within him, and he became as a stone.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	38	And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD smote Nabal, that he died.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	39	And when David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, Blessed be the LORD, that hath pleaded the cause of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil: for the LORD hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and communed with Abigail, to take her to him to wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	40	And when the servants of David were come to Abigail to Carmel, they spake unto her, saying, David sent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	41	And she arose, and bowed herself on her face to the earth, and said, Behold, let thine handmaid be a servant to wash the feet of the servants of my lord.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	42	And Abigail hasted, and arose, and rode upon an ass, with five damsels of hers that went after her; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	43	David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; and they were also both of them his wives.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	25	44	But Saul had given Michal his daughter, David's wife, to Phalti the son of Laish, which was of Gallim.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	1	And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	2	Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	3	And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But David abode in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	4	David therefore sent out spies, and understood that Saul was come in very deed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	5	And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched: and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	6	Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	7	So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	8	Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	9	And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD's anointed, and be guiltless?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	10	David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	11	The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	12	So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	13	Then David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of an hill afar off; a great space being between them:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	14	And David cried to the people, and to Abner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou not, Abner? Then Abner answered and said, Who art thou that criest to the king?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	15	And David said to Abner, Art not thou a valiant man? and who is like to thee in Israel? wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to destroy the king thy lord.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	16	This thing is not good that thou hast done. As the LORD liveth, ye are worthy to die, because ye have not kept your master, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is, and the cruse of water that was at his bolster.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	17	And Saul knew David's voice, and said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	18	And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	19	Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	20	Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth before the face of the LORD: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as when one doth hunt a partridge in the mountains.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	21	Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	22	And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	23	The LORD render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the LORD delivered thee into my hand to day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the LORD's anointed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	24	And, behold, as thy life was much set by this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the LORD, and let him deliver me out of all tribulation.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	26	25	Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David: thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	1	And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: there is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	2	And David arose, and he passed over with the six hundred men that were with him unto Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	3	And David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's wife.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	4	And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	5	And David said unto Achish, If I have now found grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	6	Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day: wherefore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	7	And the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was a full year and four months.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	8	And David and his men went up, and invaded the Geshurites, and the Gezrites, and the Amalekites: for those nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, as thou goest to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	9	And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive, and took away the sheep, and the oxen, and the asses, and the camels, and the apparel, and returned, and came to Achish.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	10	And Achish said, Whither have ye made a road to day? And David said, Against the south of Judah, and against the south of the Jerahmeelites, and against the south of the Kenites.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	11	And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	27	12	And Achish believed David, saying, He hath made his people Israel utterly to abhor him; therefore he shall be my servant for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	1	And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered their armies together for warfare, to fight with Israel. And Achish said unto David, Know thou assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to battle, thou and thy men.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	2	And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	3	Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his own city. And Saul had put away those that had familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	4	And the Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and pitched in Shunem: and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they pitched in Gilboa.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	5	And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	6	And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	7	Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	8	And Saul disguised himself, and put on other raiment, and he went, and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night: and he said, I pray thee, divine unto me by the familiar spirit, and bring me him up, whom I shall name unto thee.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	9	And the woman said unto him, Behold, thou knowest what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off those that have familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land: wherefore then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause me to die?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	10	And Saul sware to her by the LORD, saying, As the LORD liveth, there shall no punishment happen to thee for this thing.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	11	Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	12	And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	13	And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	14	And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	15	And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am sore distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God is departed from me, and answereth me no more, neither by prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayest make known unto me what I shall do.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	16	Then said Samuel, Wherefore then dost thou ask of me, seeing the LORD is departed from thee, and is become thine enemy?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	17	And the LORD hath done to him, as he spake by me: for the LORD hath rent the kingdom out of thine hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	18	Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the LORD, nor executedst his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore hath the LORD done this thing unto thee this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	19	Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and to morrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	20	Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	21	And the woman came unto Saul, and saw that he was sore troubled, and said unto him, Behold, thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy words which thou spakest unto me.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	22	Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou also unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me set a morsel of bread before thee; and eat, that thou mayest have strength, when thou goest on thy way.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	23	But he refused, and said, I will not eat. But his servants, together with the woman, compelled him; and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arose from the earth, and sat upon the bed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	24	And the woman had a fat calf in the house; and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof:
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	28	25	And she brought it before Saul, and before his servants; and they did eat. Then they rose up, and went away that night.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	1	Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek: and the Israelites pitched by a fountain which is in Jezreel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	2	And the lords of the Philistines passed on by hundreds, and by thousands: but David and his men passed on in the rereward with Achish.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	3	Then said the princes of the Philistines, What do these Hebrews here? And Achish said unto the princes of the Philistines, Is not this David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, which hath been with me these days, or these years, and I have found no fault in him since he fell unto me unto this day?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	4	And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him; and the princes of the Philistines said unto him, Make this fellow return, that he may go again to his place which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he be an adversary to us: for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master? should it not be with the heads of these men?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	5	Is not this David, of whom they sang one to another in dances, saying, Saul slew his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	6	Then Achish called David, and said unto him, Surely, as the LORD liveth, thou hast been upright, and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the host is good in my sight: for I have not found evil in thee since the day of thy coming unto me unto this day: nevertheless the lords favour thee not.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	7	Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	8	And David said unto Achish, But what have I done? and what hast thou found in thy servant so long as I have been with thee unto this day, that I may not go fight against the enemies of my lord the king?
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	9	And Achish answered and said to David, I know that thou art good in my sight, as an angel of God: notwithstanding the princes of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	10	Wherefore now rise up early in the morning with thy master's servants that are come with thee: and as soon as ye be up early in the morning, and have light, depart.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	29	11	So David and his men rose up early to depart in the morning, to return into the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	1	And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	2	And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	3	So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	4	Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	5	And David's two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	6	And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	7	And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	8	And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	9	So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	10	But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	11	And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	12	And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	13	And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	14	We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	15	And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	16	And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	17	And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	18	And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	19	And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	20	And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David's spoil.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	21	And David came to the two hundred men, which were so faint that they could not follow David, whom they had made also to abide at the brook Besor: and they went forth to meet David, and to meet the people that were with him: and when David came near to the people, he saluted them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	22	Then answered all the wicked men and men of Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the spoil that we have recovered, save to every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	23	Then said David, Ye shall not do so, my brethren, with that which the LORD hath given us, who hath preserved us, and delivered the company that came against us into our hand.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	24	For who will hearken unto you in this matter? but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, so shall his part be that tarrieth by the stuff: they shall part alike.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	25	And it was so from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel unto this day.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	26	And when David came to Ziklag, he sent of the spoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, saying, Behold a present for you of the spoil of the enemies of the LORD;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	27	To them which were in Bethel, and to them which were in south Ramoth, and to them which were in Jattir,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	28	And to them which were in Aroer, and to them which were in Siphmoth, and to them which were in Eshtemoa,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	29	And to them which were in Rachal, and to them which were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to them which were in the cities of the Kenites,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	30	And to them which were in Hormah, and to them which were in Chorashan, and to them which were in Athach,
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	30	31	And to them which were in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men were wont to haunt.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	1	Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	2	And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons; and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Melchishua, Saul's sons.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	3	And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	4	Then said Saul unto his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through, and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	5	And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise upon his sword, and died with him.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	6	So Saul died, and his three sons, and his armourbearer, and all his men, that same day together.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	7	And when the men of Israel that were on the other side of the valley, and they that were on the other side Jordan, saw that the men of Israel fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, they forsook the cities, and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	8	And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen in mount Gilboa.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	9	And they cut off his head, and stripped off his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to publish it in the house of their idols, and among the people.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	10	And they put his armour in the house of Ashtaroth: and they fastened his body to the wall of Bethshan.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	11	And when the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead heard of that which the Philistines had done to Saul;
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	12	All the valiant men arose, and went all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Bethshan, and came to Jabesh, and burnt them there.
1 Samuel	1Sm	9	31	13	And they took their bones, and buried them under a tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	1	Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	2	It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	3	And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	4	And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	5	And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	6	And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	7	And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	8	And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	9	He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	10	So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	11	Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	12	And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	13	And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	14	And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	15	And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	16	And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD's anointed.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	17	And David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	18	(Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	19	The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places: how are the mighty fallen!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	20	Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	21	Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	22	From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the sword of Saul returned not empty.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	23	Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	24	Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on ornaments of gold upon your apparel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	25	How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thine high places.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	26	I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	1	27	How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	1	And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	2	So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	3	And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	4	And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, That the men of Jabeshgilead were they that buried Saul.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	5	And David sent messengers unto the men of Jabeshgilead, and said unto them, Blessed be ye of the LORD, that ye have shewed this kindness unto your lord, even unto Saul, and have buried him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	6	And now the LORD shew kindness and truth unto you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because ye have done this thing.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	7	Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be ye valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	8	But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	9	And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	10	Ishbosheth Saul's son was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	11	And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	12	And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	13	And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	14	And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	15	Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	16	And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	17	And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	18	And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	19	And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	20	Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	21	And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	22	And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	23	Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib, that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	24	Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	25	And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	26	Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	27	And Joab said, As God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	28	So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	29	And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	30	And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	31	But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and threescore men died.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	2	32	And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	1	Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	2	And unto David were sons born in Hebron: and his firstborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	3	And his second, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom the son of Maacah the daughter of Talmai king of Geshur;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	4	And the fourth, Adonijah the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah the son of Abital;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	5	And the sixth, Ithream, by Eglah David's wife. These were born to David in Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	6	And it came to pass, while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David, that Abner made himself strong for the house of Saul.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	7	And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father's concubine?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	8	Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog's head, which against Judah do shew kindness this day unto the house of Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, and have not delivered thee into the hand of David, that thou chargest me to day with a fault concerning this woman?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	9	So do God to Abner, and more also, except, as the LORD hath sworn to David, even so I do to him;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	10	To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	11	And he could not answer Abner a word again, because he feared him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	12	And Abner sent messengers to David on his behalf, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be with thee, to bring about all Israel unto thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	13	And he said, Well; I will make a league with thee: but one thing I require of thee, that is, Thou shalt not see my face, except thou first bring Michal Saul's daughter, when thou comest to see my face.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	14	And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul's son, saying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	15	And Ishbosheth sent, and took her from her husband, even from Phaltiel the son of Laish.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	16	And her husband went with her along weeping behind her to Bahurim. Then said Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	17	And Abner had communication with the elders of Israel, saying, Ye sought for David in times past to be king over you:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	18	Now then do it: for the LORD hath spoken of David, saying, By the hand of my servant David I will save my people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines, and out of the hand of all their enemies.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	19	And Abner also spake in the ears of Benjamin: and Abner went also to speak in the ears of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel, and that seemed good to the whole house of Benjamin.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	20	So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twenty men with him. And David made Abner and the men that were with him a feast.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	21	And Abner said unto David, I will arise and go, and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king, that they may make a league with thee, and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner away; and he went in peace.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	22	And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop, and brought in a great spoil with them: but Abner was not with David in Hebron; for he had sent him away, and he was gone in peace.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	23	When Joab and all the host that was with him were come, they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	24	Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee; why is it that thou hast sent him away, and he is quite gone?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	25	Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive thee, and to know thy going out and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doest.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	26	And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	27	And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	28	And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	29	Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	30	So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	31	And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the bier.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	32	And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	33	And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	34	Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	35	And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	36	And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	37	For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	38	And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	3	39	And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	1	And when Saul's son heard that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	2	And Saul's son had two men that were captains of bands: the name of the one was Baanah, and the name of the other Rechab, the sons of Rimmon a Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin: (for Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	3	And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were sojourners there until this day.)
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	4	And Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	5	And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, went, and came about the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who lay on a bed at noon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	6	And they came thither into the midst of the house, as though they would have fetched wheat; and they smote him under the fifth rib: and Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	7	For when they came into the house, he lay on his bed in his bedchamber, and they smote him, and slew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and gat them away through the plain all night.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	8	And they brought the head of Ishbosheth unto David to Hebron, and said to the king, Behold the head of Ishbosheth the son of Saul thine enemy, which sought thy life; and the LORD hath avenged my lord the king this day of Saul, and of his seed.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	9	And David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said unto them, As the LORD liveth, who hath redeemed my soul out of all adversity,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	10	When one told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good tidings, I took hold of him, and slew him in Ziklag, who thought that I would have given him a reward for his tidings:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	11	How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house upon his bed? shall I not therefore now require his blood of your hand, and take you away from the earth?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	4	12	And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, and cut off their hands and their feet, and hanged them up over the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth, and buried it in the sepulchre of Abner in Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	1	Then came all the tribes of Israel to David unto Hebron, and spake, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	2	Also in time past, when Saul was king over us, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: and the LORD said to thee, Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be a captain over Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	3	So all the elders of Israel came to the king to Hebron; and king David made a league with them in Hebron before the LORD: and they anointed David king over Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	4	David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	5	In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months: and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three years over all Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	6	And the king and his men went to Jerusalem unto the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land: which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and the lame, thou shalt not come in hither: thinking, David cannot come in hither.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	7	Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	8	And David said on that day, Whosoever getteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	9	So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the city of David. And David built round about from Millo and inward.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	10	And David went on, and grew great, and the LORD God of hosts was with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	11	And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees, and carpenters, and masons: and they built David an house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	12	And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, and that he had exalted his kingdom for his people Israel's sake.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	13	And David took him more concubines and wives out of Jerusalem, after he was come from Hebron: and there were yet sons and daughters born to David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	14	And these be the names of those that were born unto him in Jerusalem; Shammuah, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	15	Ibhar also, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	16	And Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphalet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	17	But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	18	The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	19	And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	20	And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	21	And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	22	And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	23	And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	24	And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	5	25	And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	1	Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	2	And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	3	And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	4	And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	5	And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	6	And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	7	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	8	And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	9	And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	10	So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	11	And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	12	And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	13	And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	14	And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	15	So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	16	And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	17	And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	18	And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	19	And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	20	Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	21	And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	22	And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	6	23	Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	1	And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	2	That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	3	And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	4	And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	5	Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	6	Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	7	In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	8	Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	9	And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	10	Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	11	And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	12	And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	13	He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	14	I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	15	But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	16	And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	17	According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	18	Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	19	And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	20	And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	21	For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	22	Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	23	And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	24	For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	25	And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	26	And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	27	For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	28	And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	7	29	Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	1	And after this it came to pass that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them: and David took Methegammah out of the hand of the Philistines.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	2	And he smote Moab, and measured them with a line, casting them down to the ground; even with two lines measured he to put to death, and with one full line to keep alive. And so the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	3	David smote also Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to recover his border at the river Euphrates.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	4	And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven hundred horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: and David houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them for an hundred chariots.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	5	And when the Syrians of Damascus came to succour Hadadezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	6	Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus: and the Syrians became servants to David, and brought gifts. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	7	And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	8	And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	9	When Toi king of Hamath heard that David had smitten all the host of Hadadezer,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	10	Then Toi sent Joram his son unto king David, to salute him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer, and smitten him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And Joram brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	11	Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	12	Of Syria, and of Moab, and of the children of Ammon, and of the Philistines, and of Amalek, and of the spoil of Hadadezer, son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	13	And David gat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	14	And he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom put he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	15	And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	16	And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	17	And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	8	18	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David's sons were chief rulers.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	1	And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	2	And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	3	And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	4	And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	5	Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	6	Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	7	And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	8	And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	9	Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master's son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	10	Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master's son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master's son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	11	Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king's sons.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	12	And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	9	13	So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king's table; and was lame on both his feet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	1	And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	2	Then said David, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort him by the hand of his servants for his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	3	And the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David rather sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	4	Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	5	When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	6	And when the children of Ammon saw that they stank before David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, and of Ishtob twelve thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	7	And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	8	And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	9	When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	10	And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	11	And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	12	Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	13	And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	14	And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	15	And when the Syrians saw that they were smitten before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	16	And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the river: and they came to Helam; and Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	17	And when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	18	And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of seven hundred chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, who died there.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	10	19	And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	1	And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	2	And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	3	And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	4	And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	5	And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	6	And David sent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	7	And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded of him how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	8	And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king's house, and there followed him a mess of meat from the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	9	But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	10	And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy journey? why then didst thou not go down unto thine house?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	11	And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife? as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	12	And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	13	And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	14	And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	15	And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	16	And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	17	And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	18	Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	19	And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	20	And if so be that the king's wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	21	Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	22	So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	23	And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	24	And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and some of the king's servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	25	Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	26	And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for her husband.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	11	27	And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	1	And the LORD sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	2	The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	3	But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	4	And there came a traveller unto the rich man, and he spared to take of his own flock and of his own herd, to dress for the wayfaring man that was come unto him; but took the poor man's lamb, and dressed it for the man that was come to him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	5	And David's anger was greatly kindled against the man; and he said to Nathan, As the LORD liveth, the man that hath done this thing shall surely die:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	6	And he shall restore the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing, and because he had no pity.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	7	And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	8	And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	9	Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	10	Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	11	Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	12	For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	13	And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	14	Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	15	And Nathan departed unto his house. And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	16	David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	17	And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	18	And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	19	But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	20	Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	21	Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	22	And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	23	But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	24	And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	25	And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	26	And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	27	And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	28	Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	29	And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	30	And he took their king's crown from off his head, the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the precious stones: and it was set on David's head. And he brought forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	12	31	And he brought forth the people that were therein, and put them under saws, and under harrows of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pass through the brick-kiln: and thus did he unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all the people returned unto Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	1	And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	2	And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do anything to her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	3	But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	4	And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king's son, lean from day to day? wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	5	And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	6	So Amnon lay down, and made himself sick: and when the king was come to see him, Amnon said unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my sister come, and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat at her hand.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	7	Then David sent home to Tamar, saying, Go now to thy brother Amnon's house, and dress him meat.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	8	So Tamar went to her brother Amnon's house; and he was laid down. And she took flour, and kneaded it, and made cakes in his sight, and did bake the cakes.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	9	And she took a pan, and poured them out before him; but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, Have out all men from me. And they went out every man from him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	10	And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	11	And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	12	And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	13	And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	14	Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	15	Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	16	And she said unto him, There is no cause: this evil in sending me away is greater than the other that thou didst unto me. But he would not hearken unto her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	17	Then he called his servant that ministered unto him, and said, Put now this woman out from me, and bolt the door after her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	18	And she had a garment of divers colours upon her: for with such robes were the king's daughters that were virgins apparelled. Then his servant brought her out, and bolted the door after her.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	19	And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	20	And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	21	But when king David heard of all these things, he was very wroth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	22	And Absalom spake unto his brother Amnon neither good nor bad: for Absalom hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister Tamar.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	23	And it came to pass after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baalhazor, which is beside Ephraim: and Absalom invited all the king's sons.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	24	And Absalom came to the king, and said, Behold now, thy servant hath sheepshearers; let the king, I beseech thee, and his servants go with thy servant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	25	And the king said to Absalom, Nay, my son, let us not all now go, lest we be chargeable unto thee. And he pressed him: howbeit he would not go, but blessed him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	26	Then said Absalom, If not, I pray thee, let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said unto him, Why should he go with thee?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	27	But Absalom pressed him, that he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	28	Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	29	And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	30	And it came to pass, while they were in the way, that tidings came to David, saying, Absalom hath slain all the king's sons, and there is not one of them left.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	31	Then the king arose, and tare his garments, and lay on the earth; and all his servants stood by with their clothes rent.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	32	And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose that they have slain all the young men the king's sons; for Amnon only is dead: for by the appointment of Absalom this hath been determined from the day that he forced his sister Tamar.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	33	Now therefore let not my lord the king take the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's sons are dead: for Amnon only is dead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	34	But Absalom fled. And the young man that kept the watch lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came much people by the way of the hill side behind him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	35	And Jonadab said unto the king, Behold, the king's sons come: as thy servant said, so it is.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	36	And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of speaking, that, behold, the king's sons came, and lifted up their voice and wept: and the king also and all his servants wept very sore.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	37	But Absalom fled, and went to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	38	So Absalom fled, and went to Geshur, and was there three years.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	13	39	And the soul of king David longed to go forth unto Absalom: for he was comforted concerning Amnon, seeing he was dead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	1	Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	2	And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	3	And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	4	And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	5	And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I am indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	6	And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	7	And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the earth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	8	And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	9	And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house: and the king and his throne be guiltless.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	10	And the king said, Whosoever saith ought unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	11	Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	12	Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak one word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	13	And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	14	For we must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect any person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	15	Now therefore that I am come to speak of this thing unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his handmaid.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	16	For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	17	Then thine handmaid said, The word of my lord the king shall now be comfortable: for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: therefore the LORD thy God will be with thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	18	Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	19	And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from ought that my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thine handmaid:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	20	To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	21	And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom again.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	22	And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	23	So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	24	And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, and let him not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	25	But in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	26	And when he polled his head, (for it was at every year's end that he polled it: because the hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled it:) he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels after the king's weight.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	27	And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	28	So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem, and saw not the king's face.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	29	Therefore Absalom sent for Joab, to have sent him to the king; but he would not come to him: and when he sent again the second time, he would not come.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	30	Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	31	Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	32	And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it had been good for me to have been there still: now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be any iniquity in me, let him kill me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	14	33	So Joab came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	1	And it came to pass after this, that Absalom prepared him chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	2	And Absalom rose up early, and stood beside the way of the gate: and it was so, that when any man that had a controversy came to the king for judgment, then Absalom called unto him, and said, Of what city art thou? And he said, Thy servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	3	And Absalom said unto him, See, thy matters are good and right; but there is no man deputed of the king to hear thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	4	Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	5	And it was so, that when any man came nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	6	And on this manner did Absalom to all Israel that came to the king for judgment: so Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	7	And it came to pass after forty years, that Absalom said unto the king, I pray thee, let me go and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the LORD, in Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	8	For thy servant vowed a vow while I abode at Geshur in Syria, saying, If the LORD shall bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	9	And the king said unto him, Go in peace. So he arose, and went to Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	10	But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as ye hear the sound of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absalom reigneth in Hebron.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	11	And with Absalom went two hundred men out of Jerusalem, that were called; and they went in their simplicity, and they knew not any thing.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	12	And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city, even from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong; for the people increased continually with Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	13	And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	14	And David said unto all his servants that were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; for we shall not else escape from Absalom: make speed to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly, and bring evil upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	15	And the king's servants said unto the king, Behold, thy servants are ready to do whatsoever my lord the king shall appoint.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	16	And the king went forth, and all his household after him. And the king left ten women, which were concubines, to keep the house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	17	And the king went forth, and all the people after him, and tarried in a place that was far off.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	18	And all his servants passed on beside him; and all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men which came after him from Gath, passed on before the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	19	Then said the king to Ittai the Gittite, Wherefore goest thou also with us? return to thy place, and abide with the king: for thou art a stranger, and also an exile.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	20	Whereas thou camest but yesterday, should I this day make thee go up and down with us? seeing I go whither I may, return thou, and take back thy brethren: mercy and truth be with thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	21	And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the LORD liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even there also will thy servant be.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	22	And David said to Ittai, Go and pass over. And Ittai the Gittite passed over, and all his men, and all the little ones that were with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	23	And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	24	And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up, until all the people had done passing out of the city.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	25	And the king said unto Zadok, Carry back the ark of God into the city: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the LORD, he will bring me again, and shew me both it, and his habitation:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	26	But if he thus say, I have no delight in thee; behold, here am I, let him do to me as seemeth good unto him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	27	The king said also unto Zadok the priest, Art not thou a seer? return into the city in peace, and your two sons with you, Ahimaaz thy son, and Jonathan the son of Abiathar.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	28	See, I will tarry in the plain of the wilderness, until there come word from you to certify me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	29	Zadok therefore and Abiathar carried the ark of God again to Jerusalem: and they tarried there.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	30	And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot: and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	31	And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	32	And it came to pass, that when David was come to the top of the mount, where he worshipped God, behold, Hushai the Archite came to meet him with his coat rent, and earth upon his head:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	33	Unto whom David said, If thou passest on with me, then thou shalt be a burden unto me:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	34	But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	35	And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and Abiathar the priests? therefore it shall be, that what thing soever thou shalt hear out of the king's house, thou shalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	36	Behold, they have there with them their two sons, Ahimaaz Zadok's son, and Jonathan Abiathar's son; and by them ye shall send unto me every thing that ye can hear.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	15	37	So Hushai David's friend came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	1	And when David was a little past the top of the hill, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred bunches of raisins, and an hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	2	And the king said unto Ziba, What meanest thou by these? And Ziba said, The asses be for the king's household to ride on; and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat; and the wine, that such as be faint in the wilderness may drink.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	3	And the king said, And where is thy master's son? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he abideth at Jerusalem: for he said, To day shall the house of Israel restore me the kingdom of my father.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	4	Then said the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all that pertained unto Mephibosheth. And Ziba said, I humbly beseech thee that I may find grace in thy sight, my lord, O king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	5	And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, thence came out a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera: he came forth, and cursed still as he came.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	6	And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	7	And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Come out, come out, thou bloody man, and thou man of Belial:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	8	The LORD hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and the LORD hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and, behold, thou art taken in thy mischief, because thou art a bloody man.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	9	Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	10	And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	11	And David said to Abishai, and to all his servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of my bowels, seeketh my life: how much more now may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and let him curse; for the LORD hath bidden him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	12	It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	13	And as David and his men went by the way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over against him, and cursed as he went, and threw stones at him, and cast dust.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	14	And the king, and all the people that were with him, came weary, and refreshed themselves there.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	15	And Absalom, and all the people the men of Israel, came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	16	And it came to pass, when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, was come unto Absalom, that Hushai said unto Absalom, God save the king, God save the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	17	And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this thy kindness to thy friend? why wentest thou not with thy friend?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	18	And Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but whom the LORD, and this people, and all the men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with him will I abide.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	19	And again, whom should I serve? should I not serve in the presence of his son? as I have served in thy father's presence, so will I be in thy presence.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	20	Then said Absalom to Ahithophel, Give counsel among you what we shall do.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	21	And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in unto thy father's concubines, which he hath left to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that thou art abhorred of thy father: then shall the hands of all that are with thee be strong.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	22	So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top of the house; and Absalom went in unto his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	16	23	And the counsel of Ahithophel, which he counselled in those days, was as if a man had enquired at the oracle of God: so was all the counsel of Ahithophel both with David and with Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	1	Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	2	And I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and will make him afraid: and all the people that are with him shall flee; and I will smite the king only:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	3	And I will bring back all the people unto thee: the man whom thou seekest is as if all returned: so all the people shall be in peace.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	4	And the saying pleased Absalom well, and all the elders of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	5	Then said Absalom, Call now Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear likewise what he saith.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	6	And when Hushai was come to Absalom, Absalom spake unto him, saying, Ahithophel hath spoken after this manner: shall we do after his saying? if not; speak thou.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	7	And Hushai said unto Absalom, The counsel that Ahithophel hath given is not good at this time.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	8	For, said Hushai, thou knowest thy father and his men, that they be mighty men, and they be chafed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in the field: and thy father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	9	Behold, he is hid now in some pit, or in some other place: and it will come to pass, when some of them be overthrown at the first, that whosoever heareth it will say, There is a slaughter among the people that follow Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	10	And he also that is valiant, whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall utterly melt: for all Israel knoweth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which be with him are valiant men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	11	Therefore I counsel that all Israel be generally gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beersheba, as the sand that is by the sea for multitude; and that thou go to battle in thine own person.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	12	So shall we come upon him in some place where he shall be found, and we will light upon him as the dew falleth on the ground: and of him and of all the men that are with him there shall not be left so much as one.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	13	Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then shall all Israel bring ropes to that city, and we will draw it into the river, until there be not one small stone found there.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	14	And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evil upon Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	15	Then said Hushai unto Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counsel Absalom and the elders of Israel; and thus and thus have I counselled.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	16	Now therefore send quickly, and tell David, saying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wilderness, but speedily pass over; lest the king be swallowed up, and all the people that are with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	17	Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz stayed by Enrogel; for they might not be seen to come into the city: and a wench went and told them; and they went and told king David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	18	Nevertheless a lad saw them, and told Absalom: but they went both of them away quickly, and came to a man's house in Bahurim, which had a well in his court; whither they went down.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	19	And the woman took and spread a covering over the well's mouth, and spread ground corn thereon; and the thing was not known.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	20	And when Absalom's servants came to the woman to the house, they said, Where is Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said unto them, They be gone over the brook of water. And when they had sought and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	21	And it came to pass, after they were departed, that they came up out of the well, and went and told king David, and said unto David, Arise, and pass quickly over the water: for thus hath Ahithophel counselled against you.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	22	Then David arose, and all the people that were with him, and they passed over Jordan: by the morning light there lacked not one of them that was not gone over Jordan.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	23	And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	24	Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom passed over Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	25	And Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man's son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab's mother.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	26	So Israel and Absalom pitched in the land of Gilead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	27	And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	28	Brought beds, and basons, and earthen vessels, and wheat, and barley, and flour, and parched corn, and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	17	29	And honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	1	And David numbered the people that were with him, and set captains of thousands and captains of hundreds over them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	2	And David sent forth a third part of the people under the hand of Joab, and a third part under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said unto the people, I will surely go forth with you myself also.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	3	But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now thou art worth ten thousand of us: therefore now it is better that thou succour us out of the city.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	4	And the king said unto them, What seemeth you best I will do. And the king stood by the gate side, and all the people came out by hundreds and by thousands.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	5	And the king commanded Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man, even with Absalom. And all the people heard when the king gave all the captains charge concerning Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	6	So the people went out into the field against Israel: and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	7	Where the people of Israel were slain before the servants of David, and there was there a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	8	For the battle was there scattered over the face of all the country: and the wood devoured more people that day than the sword devoured.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	9	And Absalom met the servants of David. And Absalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the heaven and the earth; and the mule that was under him went away.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	10	And a certain man saw it, and told Joab, and said, Behold, I saw Absalom hanged in an oak.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	11	And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground? and I would have given thee ten shekels of silver, and a girdle.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	12	And the man said unto Joab, Though I should receive a thousand shekels of silver in mine hand, yet would I not put forth mine hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king charged thee and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Beware that none touch the young man Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	13	Otherwise I should have wrought falsehood against mine own life: for there is no matter hid from the king, and thou thyself wouldest have set thyself against me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	14	Then said Joab, I may not tarry thus with thee. And he took three darts in his hand, and thrust them through the heart of Absalom, while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	15	And ten young men that bare Joab's armour compassed about and smote Absalom, and slew him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	16	And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	17	And they took Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled every one to his tent.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	18	Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	19	Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, Let me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	20	And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	21	Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	22	Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	23	But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	24	And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	25	And the watchman cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	26	And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and said, Behold another man running alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	27	And the watchman said, Me thinketh the running of the foremost is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	28	And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	29	And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy servant, I saw a great tumult, but I knew not what it was.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	30	And the king said unto him, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	31	And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that rose up against thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	32	And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	18	33	And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept: and as he went, thus he said, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	1	And it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth and mourneth for Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	2	And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	3	And the people gat them by stealth that day into the city, as people being ashamed steal away when they flee in battle.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	4	But the king covered his face, and the king cried with a loud voice, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	5	And Joab came into the house to the king, and said, Thou hast shamed this day the faces of all thy servants, which this day have saved thy life, and the lives of thy sons and of thy daughters, and the lives of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	6	In that thou lovest thine enemies, and hatest thy friends. For thou hast declared this day, that thou regardest neither princes nor servants: for this day I perceive, that if Absalom had lived, and all we had died this day, then it had pleased thee well.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	7	Now therefore arise, go forth, and speak comfortably unto thy servants: for I swear by the LORD, if thou go not forth, there will not tarry one with thee this night: and that will be worse unto thee than all the evil that befell thee from thy youth until now.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	8	Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled every man to his tent.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	9	And all the people were at strife throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king saved us out of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines; and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	10	And Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why speak ye not a word of bringing the king back?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	11	And king David sent to Zadok and to Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the elders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to bring the king back to his house? seeing the speech of all Israel is come to the king, even to his house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	12	Ye are my brethren, ye are my bones and my flesh: wherefore then are ye the last to bring back the king?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	13	And say ye to Amasa, Art thou not of my bone, and of my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou be not captain of the host before me continually in the room of Joab.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	14	And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, even as the heart of one man; so that they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy servants.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	15	So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to conduct the king over Jordan.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	16	And Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite, which was of Bahurim, hasted and came down with the men of Judah to meet king David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	17	And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they went over Jordan before the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	18	And there went over a ferry boat to carry over the king's household, and to do what he thought good. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was come over Jordan;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	19	And said unto the king, Let not my lord impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember that which thy servant did perversely the day that my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, that the king should take it to his heart.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	20	For thy servant doth know that I have sinned: therefore, behold, I am come the first this day of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	21	But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD's anointed?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	22	And David said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should this day be adversaries unto me? shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? for do not I know that I am this day king over Israel?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	23	Therefore the king said unto Shimei, Thou shalt not die. And the king sware unto him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	24	And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king, and had neither dressed his feet, nor trimmed his beard, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came again in peace.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	25	And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	26	And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	27	And he hath slandered thy servant unto my lord the king; but my lord the king is as an angel of God: do therefore what is good in thine eyes.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	28	For all of my father's house were but dead men before my lord the king: yet didst thou set thy servant among them that did eat at thine own table. What right therefore have I yet to cry any more unto the king?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	29	And the king said unto him, Why speakest thou any more of thy matters? I have said, Thou and Ziba divide the land.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	30	And Mephibosheth said unto the king, Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is come again in peace unto his own house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	31	And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to conduct him over Jordan.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	32	Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	33	And the king said unto Barzillai, Come thou over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	34	And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	35	I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	36	Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	37	Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	38	And the king answered, Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do to him that which shall seem good unto thee: and whatsoever thou shalt require of me, that will I do for thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	39	And all the people went over Jordan. And when the king was come over, the king kissed Barzillai, and blessed him; and he returned unto his own place.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	40	Then the king went on to Gilgal, and Chimham went on with him: and all the people of Judah conducted the king, and also half the people of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	41	And, behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said unto the king, Why have our brethren the men of Judah stolen thee away, and have brought the king, and his household, and all David's men with him, over Jordan?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	42	And all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is near of kin to us: wherefore then be ye angry for this matter? have we eaten at all of the king's cost? or hath he given us any gift?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	19	43	And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king, and we have also more right in David than ye: why then did ye despise us, that our advice should not be first had in bringing back our king? And the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	1	And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	2	So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	3	And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	4	Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	5	So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	6	And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	7	And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	8	When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	9	And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	10	But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	11	And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	12	And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	13	When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	14	And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	15	And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	16	Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	17	And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	18	Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	19	I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	20	And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	21	The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	22	Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	23	Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	24	And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	25	And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	20	26	And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	1	Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	2	And the king called the Gibeonites, and said unto them; (now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites; and the children of Israel had sworn unto them: and Saul sought to slay them in his zeal to the children of Israel and Judah.)
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	3	Wherefore David said unto the Gibeonites, What shall I do for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonement, that ye may bless the inheritance of the LORD?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	4	And the Gibeonites said unto him, We will have no silver nor gold of Saul, nor of his house; neither for us shalt thou kill any man in Israel. And he said, What ye shall say, that will I do for you.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	5	And they answered the king, The man that consumed us, and that devised against us that we should be destroyed from remaining in any of the coasts of Israel,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	6	Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, whom the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	7	But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD's oath that was between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	8	But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	9	And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	10	And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	11	And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	12	And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabeshgilead, which had stolen them from the street of Bethshan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	13	And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	14	And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	15	Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	16	And Ishbibenob, which was of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	17	But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succoured him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the light of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	18	And it came to pass after this, that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob: then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was of the sons of the giant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	19	And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	20	And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the giant.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	21	And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah the brother of David slew him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	21	22	These four were born to the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	1	And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	2	And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	3	The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	4	I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	5	When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	6	The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	7	In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	8	Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	9	There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	10	He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	11	And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	12	And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	13	Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	14	The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	15	And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	16	And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	17	He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters;
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	18	He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	19	They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	20	He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	21	The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	22	For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	23	For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	24	I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	25	Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	26	With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	27	With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	28	And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	29	For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	30	For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	31	As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	32	For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	33	God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	34	He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	35	He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	36	Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	37	Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	38	I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	39	And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	40	For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	41	Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	42	They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	43	Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	44	Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	45	Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	46	Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	47	The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	48	It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	49	And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	50	Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	22	51	He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	1	Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	2	The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	3	The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	4	And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds; as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining after rain.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	5	Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	6	But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	7	But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	8	These be the names of the mighty men whom David had: The Tachmonite that sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite: he lift up his spear against eight hundred, whom he slew at one time.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	9	And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David, when they defied the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle, and the men of Israel were gone away:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	10	He arose, and smote the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword: and the LORD wrought a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	11	And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, where was a piece of ground full of lentiles: and the people fled from the Philistines.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	12	But he stood in the midst of the ground, and defended it, and slew the Philistines: and the LORD wrought a great victory.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	13	And three of the thirty chief went down, and came to David in the harvest time unto the cave of Adullam: and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	14	And David was then in an hold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	15	And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	16	And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the LORD.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	17	And he said, Be it far from me, O LORD, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	18	And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred, and slew them, and had the name among three.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	19	Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	20	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts, he slew two lionlike men of Moab: he went down also and slew a lion in the midst of a pit in time of snow:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	21	And he slew an Egyptian, a goodly man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a staff, and plucked the spear out of the Egyptian's hand, and slew him with his own spear.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	22	These things did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and had the name among three mighty men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	23	He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	24	Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	25	Shammah the Harodite, Elika the Harodite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	26	Helez the Paltite, Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	27	Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	28	Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	29	Heleb the son of Baanah, a Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai out of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	30	Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the brooks of Gaash,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	31	Abialbon the Arbathite, Azmaveth the Barhumite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	32	Eliahba the Shaalbonite, of the sons of Jashen, Jonathan,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	33	Shammah the Hararite, Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	34	Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite, Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	35	Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Arbite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	36	Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	37	Zelek the Ammonite, Nahari the Beerothite, armourbearer to Joab the son of Zeruiah,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	38	Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	23	39	Uriah the Hittite: thirty and seven in all.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	1	And again the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	2	For the king said to Joab the captain of the host, which was with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan even to Beersheba, and number ye the people, that I may know the number of the people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	3	And Joab said unto the king, Now the LORD thy God add unto the people, how many soever they be, an hundredfold, and that the eyes of my lord the king may see it: but why doth my lord the king delight in this thing?
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	4	Notwithstanding the king's word prevailed against Joab, and against the captains of the host. And Joab and the captains of the host went out from the presence of the king, to number the people of Israel.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	5	And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lieth in the midst of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	6	Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of Tahtimhodshi; and they came to Danjaan, and about to Zidon,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	7	And came to the strong hold of Tyre, and to all the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites: and they went out to the south of Judah, even to Beersheba.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	8	So when they had gone through all the land, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	9	And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	10	And David's heart smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	11	For when David was up in the morning, the word of the LORD came unto the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	12	Go and say unto David, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	13	So Gad came to David, and told him, and said unto him, Shall seven years of famine come unto thee in thy land? or wilt thou flee three months before thine enemies, while they pursue thee? or that there be three days' pestilence in thy land? now advise, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	14	And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let us fall now into the hand of the LORD; for his mercies are great: and let me not fall into the hand of man.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	15	So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning even to the time appointed: and there died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	16	And when the angel stretched out his hand upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	17	And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	18	And Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	19	And David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the LORD commanded.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	20	And Araunah looked, and saw the king and his servants coming on toward him: and Araunah went out, and bowed himself before the king on his face upon the ground.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	21	And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshingfloor of thee, to build an altar unto the LORD, that the plague may be stayed from the people.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	22	And Araunah said unto David, Let my lord the king take and offer up what seemeth good unto him: behold, here be oxen for burnt sacrifice, and threshing instruments and other instruments of the oxen for wood.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	23	All these things did Araunah, as a king, give unto the king. And Araunah said unto the king, The LORD thy God accept thee.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	24	And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
2 Samuel	2Sm	10	24	25	And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So the LORD was intreated for the land, and the plague was stayed from Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	1	Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	2	Wherefore his servants said unto him, Let there be sought for my lord the king a young virgin: and let her stand before the king, and let her cherish him, and let her lie in thy bosom, that my lord the king may get heat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	3	So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	4	And the damsel was very fair, and cherished the king, and ministered to him: but the king knew her not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	5	Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	6	And his father had not displeased him at any time in saying, Why hast thou done so? and he also was a very goodly man; and his mother bare him after Absalom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	7	And he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest: and they following Adonijah helped him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	8	But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet, and Shimei, and Rei, and the mighty men which belonged to David, were not with Adonijah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	9	And Adonijah slew sheep and oxen and fat cattle by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by Enrogel, and called all his brethren the king's sons, and all the men of Judah the king's servants:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	10	But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	11	Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bathsheba the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David our lord knoweth it not?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	12	Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest save thine own life, and the life of thy son Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	13	Go and get thee in unto king David, and say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne? why then doth Adonijah reign?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	14	Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	15	And Bathsheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	16	And Bathsheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	17	And she said unto him, My lord, thou swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	18	And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	19	And he hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab the captain of the host: but Solomon thy servant hath he not called.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	20	And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	21	Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted offenders.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	22	And, lo, while she yet talked with the king, Nathan the prophet also came in.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	23	And they told the king, saying, Behold Nathan the prophet. And when he was come in before the king, he bowed himself before the king with his face to the ground.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	24	And Nathan said, My lord, O king, hast thou said, Adonijah shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	25	For he is gone down this day, and hath slain oxen and fat cattle and sheep in abundance, and hath called all the king's sons, and the captains of the host, and Abiathar the priest; and, behold, they eat and drink before him, and say, God save king Adonijah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	26	But me, even me thy servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and thy servant Solomon, hath he not called.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	27	Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou hast not shewed it unto thy servant, who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	28	Then king David answered and said, Call me Bathsheba. And she came into the king's presence, and stood before the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	29	And the king sware, and said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my soul out of all distress,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	30	Even as I sware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	31	Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	32	And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	33	The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	34	And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	35	Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	36	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the LORD God of my lord the king say so too.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	37	As the LORD hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	38	So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to Gihon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	39	And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	40	And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	41	And Adonijah and all the guests that were with him heard it as they had made an end of eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he said, Wherefore is this noise of the city being in an uproar?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	42	And while he yet spake, behold, Jonathan the son of Abiathar the priest came; and Adonijah said unto him, Come in; for thou art a valiant man, and bringest good tidings.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	43	And Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	44	And the king hath sent with him Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and they have caused him to ride upon the king's mule:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	45	And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king in Gihon: and they are come up from thence rejoicing, so that the city rang again. This is the noise that ye have heard.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	46	And also Solomon sitteth on the throne of the kingdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	47	And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	48	And also thus said the king, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	49	And all the guests that were with Adonijah were afraid, and rose up, and went every man his way.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	50	And Adonijah feared because of Solomon, and arose, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	51	And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	52	And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	1	53	So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	1	Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	2	I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	3	And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	4	That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	5	Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	6	Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	7	But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	8	And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the LORD, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	9	Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	10	So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	11	And the days that David reigned over Israel were forty years: seven years reigned he in Hebron, and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerusalem.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	12	Then sat Solomon upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was established greatly.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	13	And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	14	He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	15	And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	16	And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	17	And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	18	And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	19	Bathsheba therefore went unto king Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself unto her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a seat to be set for the king's mother; and she sat on his right hand.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	20	Then she said, I desire one small petition of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the king said unto her, Ask on, my mother: for I will not say thee nay.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	21	And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	22	And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	23	Then king Solomon sware by the LORD, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah have not spoken this word against his own life.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	24	Now therefore, as the LORD liveth, which hath established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who hath made me an house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	25	And king Solomon sent by the hand of Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell upon him that he died.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	26	And unto Abiathar the priest said the king, Get thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou barest the ark of the LORD God before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	27	So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from being priest unto the LORD; that he might fulfil the word of the LORD, which he spake concerning the house of Eli in Shiloh.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	28	Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD, and caught hold on the horns of the altar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	29	And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the LORD; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	30	And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	31	And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	32	And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	33	Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	34	So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	35	And the king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his room over the host: and Zadok the priest did the king put in the room of Abiathar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	36	And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jerusalem, and dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	37	For it shall be, that on the day thou goest out, and passest over the brook Kidron, thou shalt know for certain that thou shalt surely die: thy blood shall be upon thine own head.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	38	And Shimei said unto the king, The saying is good: as my lord the king hath said, so will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	39	And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two of the servants of Shimei ran away unto Achish son of Maachah king of Gath. And they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy servants be in Gath.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	40	And Shimei arose, and saddled his ass, and went to Gath to Achish to seek his servants: and Shimei went, and brought his servants from Gath.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	41	And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	42	And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said unto him, Did I not make thee to swear by the LORD, and protested unto thee, saying, Know for a certain, on the day thou goest out, and walkest abroad any whither, that thou shalt surely die? and thou saidst unto me, The word that I have heard is good.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	43	Why then hast thou not kept the oath of the LORD, and the commandment that I have charged thee with?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	44	The king said moreover to Shimei, Thou knowest all the wickedness which thine heart is privy to, that thou didst to David my father: therefore the LORD shall return thy wickedness upon thine own head;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	45	And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the LORD for ever.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	2	46	So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; which went out, and fell upon him, that he died. And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	1	And Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the LORD, and the wall of Jerusalem round about.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	2	Only the people sacrificed in high places, because there was no house built unto the name of the LORD, until those days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	3	And Solomon loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	4	And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	5	In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	6	And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto thy servant David my father great mercy, according as he walked before thee in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with thee; and thou hast kept for him this great kindness, that thou hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	7	And now, O LORD my God, thou hast made thy servant king instead of David my father: and I am but a little child: I know not how to go out or come in.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	8	And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	9	Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	10	And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	11	And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	12	Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	13	And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	14	And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	15	And Solomon awoke; and, behold, it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and offered up burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made a feast to all his servants.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	16	Then came there two women, that were harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	17	And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house; and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	18	And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in the house, save we two in the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	19	And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	20	And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	21	And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead: but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did bear.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	22	And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus they spake before the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	23	Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the living.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	24	And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	25	And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one, and half to the other.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	26	Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	27	Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	3	28	And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	1	So king Solomon was king over all Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	2	And these were the princes which he had; Azariah the son of Zadok the priest,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	3	Elihoreph and Ahiah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	4	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the host: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	5	And Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers: and Zabud the son of Nathan was principal officer, and the king's friend:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	6	And Ahishar was over the household: and Adoniram the son of Abda was over the tribute.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	7	And Solomon had twelve officers over all Israel, which provided victuals for the king and his household: each man his month in a year made provision.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	8	And these are their names: The son of Hur, in mount Ephraim:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	9	The son of Dekar, in Makaz, and in Shaalbim, and Bethshemesh, and Elonbethhanan:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	10	The son of Hesed, in Aruboth; to him pertained Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	11	The son of Abinadab, in all the region of Dor; which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	12	Baana the son of Ahilud; to him pertained Taanach and Megiddo, and all Bethshean, which is by Zartanah beneath Jezreel, from Bethshean to Abelmeholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	13	The son of Geber, in Ramothgilead; to him pertained the towns of Jair the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead; to him also pertained the region of Argob, which is in Bashan, threescore great cities with walls and brasen bars:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	14	Ahinadab the son of Iddo had Mahanaim:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	15	Ahimaaz was in Naphtali; he also took Basmath the daughter of Solomon to wife:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	16	Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	17	Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	18	Shimei the son of Elah, in Benjamin:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	19	Geber the son of Uri was in the country of Gilead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, and of Og king of Bashan; and he was the only officer which was in the land.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	20	Judah and Israel were many, as the sand which is by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	21	And Solomon reigned over all kingdoms from the river unto the land of the Philistines, and unto the border of Egypt: they brought presents, and served Solomon all the days of his life.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	22	And Solomon's provision for one day was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	23	Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the pastures, and an hundred sheep, beside harts, and roebucks, and fallowdeer, and fatted fowl.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	24	For he had dominion over all the region on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	25	And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	26	And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	27	And those officers provided victual for king Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's table, every man in his month: they lacked nothing.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	28	Barley also and straw for the horses and dromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, every man according to his charge.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	29	And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	30	And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	31	For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol: and his fame was in all nations round about.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	32	And he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	33	And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall: he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	4	34	And there came of all people to hear the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth, which had heard of his wisdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	1	And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	2	And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	3	Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	4	But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	5	And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	6	Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	7	And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	8	And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	9	My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	10	So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	11	And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	12	And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	13	And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	14	And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram was over the levy.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	15	And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	16	Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	17	And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	5	18	And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	1	And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	2	And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	3	And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	4	And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	5	And against the wall of the house he built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the oracle: and he made chambers round about:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	6	The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	7	And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	8	The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	9	So he built the house, and finished it; and covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	10	And then he built chambers against all the house, five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	11	And the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	12	Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	13	And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	14	So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	15	And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling: and he covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	16	And he built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	17	And the house, that is, the temple before it, was forty cubits long.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	18	And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	19	And the oracle he prepared in the house within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	20	And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	21	So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with gold.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	22	And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	23	And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each ten cubits high.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	24	And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other were ten cubits.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	25	And the other cherub was ten cubits: both the cherubims were of one measure and one size.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	26	The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, and so was it of the other cherub.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	27	And he set the cherubims within the inner house: and they stretched forth the wings of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the midst of the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	28	And he overlaid the cherubims with gold.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	29	And he carved all the walls of the house round about with carved figures of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, within and without.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	30	And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	31	And for the entering of the oracle he made doors of olive tree: the lintel and side posts were a fifth part of the wall.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	32	The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	33	So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	34	And the two doors were of fir tree: the two leaves of the one door were folding, and the two leaves of the other door were folding.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	35	And he carved thereon cherubims and palm trees and open flowers: and covered them with gold fitted upon the carved work.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	36	And he built the inner court with three rows of hewed stone, and a row of cedar beams.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	37	In the fourth year was the foundation of the house of the LORD laid, in the month Zif:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	6	38	And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	1	But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	2	He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	3	And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	4	And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	5	And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	6	And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	7	Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	8	And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh's daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	9	All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	10	And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	11	And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	12	And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	13	And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	14	He was a widow's son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	15	For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	16	And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	17	And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	18	And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	19	And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	20	And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	21	And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	22	And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	23	And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	24	And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	25	It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	26	And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	27	And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	28	And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	29	And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	30	And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	31	And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	32	And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	33	And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	34	And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	35	And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	36	For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	37	After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	38	Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	39	And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	40	And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	41	The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	42	And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	43	And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	44	And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	45	And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	46	In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	47	And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	48	And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	49	And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	50	And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	7	51	So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	1	Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	2	And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	3	And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	4	And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	5	And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	6	And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	7	For the cherubims spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	8	And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are unto this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	9	There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	10	And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	11	So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	12	Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	13	I have surely built thee an house to dwell in, a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	14	And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood;)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	15	And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	16	Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	17	And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	18	And the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	19	Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	20	And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	21	And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	22	And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	23	And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	24	Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	25	Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	26	And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	27	But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	28	Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	29	That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	30	And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	31	If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	32	Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	33	When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	34	Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	35	When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	36	Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, that thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	37	If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	38	What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	39	Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	40	That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	41	Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name's sake;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	42	(For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	43	Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	44	If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	45	Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	46	If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	47	Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	48	And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	49	Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	50	And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	51	For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	52	That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	53	For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	54	And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	55	And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	56	Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	57	The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	58	That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	59	And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	60	That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	61	Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	62	And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	63	And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	64	The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	65	And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	8	66	On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	1	And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	2	That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	3	And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	4	And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	5	Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	6	But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	7	Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	8	And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	9	And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	10	And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king's house,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	11	(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire,) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	12	And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	13	And he said, What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul unto this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	14	And Hiram sent to the king sixscore talents of gold.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	15	And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	16	For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a present unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	17	And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	18	And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	19	And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	20	And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	21	Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, upon those did Solomon levy a tribute of bondservice unto this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	22	But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no bondmen: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	23	These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon's work, five hundred and fifty, which bare rule over the people that wrought in the work.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	24	But Pharaoh's daughter came up out of the city of David unto her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	25	And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar which he built unto the LORD, and he burnt incense upon the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	26	And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	27	And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	9	28	And they came to Ophir, and fetched from thence gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	1	And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to prove him with hard questions.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	2	And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels that bare spices, and very much gold, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	3	And Solomon told her all her questions: there was not any thing hid from the king, which he told her not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	4	And when the queen of Sheba had seen all Solomon's wisdom, and the house that he had built,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	5	And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel, and his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up unto the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	6	And she said to the king, It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thy acts and of thy wisdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	7	Howbeit I believed not the words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the half was not told me: thy wisdom and prosperity exceedeth the fame which I heard.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	8	Happy are thy men, happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and that hear thy wisdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	9	Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee, to set thee on the throne of Israel: because the LORD loved Israel for ever, therefore made he thee king, to do judgment and justice.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	10	And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices very great store, and precious stones: there came no more such abundance of spices as these which the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	11	And the navy also of Hiram, that brought gold from Ophir, brought in from Ophir great plenty of almug trees, and precious stones.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	12	And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	13	And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty. So she turned and went to her own country, she and her servants.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	14	Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	15	Beside that he had of the merchantmen, and of the traffick of the spice merchants, and of all the kings of Arabia, and of the governors of the country.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	16	And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of gold went to one target.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	17	And he made three hundred shields of beaten gold; three pound of gold went to one shield: and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	18	Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with the best gold.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	19	The throne had six steps, and the top of the throne was round behind: and there were stays on either side on the place of the seat, and two lions stood beside the stays.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	20	And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps: there was not the like made in any kingdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	21	And all king Solomon's drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; none were of silver: it was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	22	For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	23	So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	24	And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	25	And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	26	And Solomon gathered together chariots and horsemen: and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he bestowed in the cities for chariots, and with the king at Jerusalem.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	27	And the king made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycomore trees that are in the vale, for abundance.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	28	And Solomon had horses brought out of Egypt, and linen yarn: the king's merchants received the linen yarn at a price.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	10	29	And a chariot came up and went out of Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and an horse for an hundred and fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and for the kings of Syria, did they bring them out by their means.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	1	But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	2	Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	3	And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	4	For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	5	For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	6	And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	7	Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	8	And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	9	And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	10	And had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	11	Wherefore the LORD said unto Solomon, Forasmuch as this is done of thee, and thou hast not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give it to thy servant.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	12	Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	13	Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake which I have chosen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	14	And the LORD stirred up an adversary unto Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king's seed in Edom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	15	For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	16	(For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	17	That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	18	And they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	19	And Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	20	And the sister of Tahpenes bare him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh's household among the sons of Pharaoh.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	21	And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to mine own country.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	22	Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	23	And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	24	And he gathered men unto him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelt therein, and reigned in Damascus.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	25	And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	26	And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even he lifted up his hand against the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	27	And this was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of the city of David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	28	And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	29	And it came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they two were alone in the field:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	30	And Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	31	And he said to Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	32	(But he shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel:)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	33	Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in mine eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	34	Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	35	But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will give it unto thee, even ten tribes.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	36	And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	37	And I will take thee, and thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and shalt be king over Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	38	And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	39	And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	40	Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	41	And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	42	And the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	11	43	And Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	1	And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	2	And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was yet in Egypt, heard of it, (for he was fled from the presence of king Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egypt;)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	3	That they sent and called him. And Jeroboam and all the congregation of Israel came, and spake unto Rehoboam, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	4	Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	5	And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	6	And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	7	And they spake unto him, saying, If thou wilt be a servant unto this people this day, and wilt serve them, and answer them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	8	But he forsook the counsel of the old men, which they had given him, and consulted with the young men that were grown up with him, and which stood before him:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	9	And he said unto them, What counsel give ye that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, Make the yoke which thy father did put upon us lighter?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	10	And the young men that were grown up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou speak unto this people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	11	And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke: my father hath chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	13	And the king answered the people roughly, and forsook the old men's counsel that they gave him;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	14	And spake to them after the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I will add to your yoke: my father also chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	15	Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the people; for the cause was from the LORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	16	So when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel: now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed unto their tents.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	17	But as for the children of Israel which dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	18	Then king Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute; and all Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. Therefore king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	19	So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	20	And it came to pass, when all Israel heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Israel: there was none that followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	21	And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin, an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	22	But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	23	Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant of the people, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	24	Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to depart, according to the word of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	25	Then Jeroboam built Shechem in mount Ephraim, and dwelt therein; and went out from thence, and built Penuel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	26	And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	27	If this people go up to do sacrifice in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then shall the heart of this people turn again unto their lord, even unto Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall kill me, and go again to Rehoboam king of Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	28	Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	29	And he set the one in Bethel, and the other put he in Dan.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	30	And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	31	And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	32	And Jeroboam ordained a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto the feast that is in Judah, and he offered upon the altar. So did he in Bethel, sacrificing unto the calves that he had made: and he placed in Bethel the priests of the high places which he had made.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	12	33	So he offered upon the altar which he had made in Bethel the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even in the month which he had devised of his own heart; and ordained a feast unto the children of Israel: and he offered upon the altar, and burnt incense.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	1	And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	2	And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	3	And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	4	And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	5	The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	6	And the king answered and said unto the man of God, Intreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him again, and became as it was before.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	7	And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	8	And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	9	For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	10	So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	11	Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	12	And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	13	And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	14	And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	15	Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	16	And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	17	For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	18	He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	19	So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	20	And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	21	And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	22	But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the Lord did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	23	And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	24	And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	25	And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcase: and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	26	And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	27	And he spake to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	28	And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	29	And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	30	And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	31	And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	32	For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	33	After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became one of the priests of the high places.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	13	34	And this thing became sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	1	At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	2	And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, which told me that I should be king over this people.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	3	And take with thee ten loaves, and cracknels, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he shall tell thee what shall become of the child.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	4	And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	5	And the LORD said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when she cometh in, that she shall feign herself to be another woman.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	6	And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	7	Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	8	And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee: and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	9	But hast done evil above all that were before thee: for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	10	Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	11	Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat: for the LORD hath spoken it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	12	Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own house: and when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	13	And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward the LORD God of Israel in the house of Jeroboam.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	14	Moreover the LORD shall raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	15	For the LORD shall smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water, and he shall root up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the river, because they have made their groves, provoking the LORD to anger.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	16	And he shall give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who did sin, and who made Israel to sin.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	17	And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: and when she came to the threshold of the door, the child died;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	18	And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by the hand of his servant Ahijah the prophet.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	19	And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	20	And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	21	And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD did choose out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	22	And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	23	For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	24	And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	25	And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	26	And he took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	27	And king Rehoboam made in their stead brasen shields, and committed them unto the hands of the chief of the guard, which kept the door of the king's house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	28	And it was so, when the king went into the house of the LORD, that the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard chamber.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	29	Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	30	And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	14	31	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	1	Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	2	Three years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	3	And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	4	Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	5	Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	6	And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	7	Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	8	And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	9	And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	10	And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	11	And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	12	And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	13	And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	14	But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	15	And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	16	And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	17	And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	18	Then Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	19	There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	20	So Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	21	And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	22	Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none was exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	23	The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	24	And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	25	And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	26	And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	27	And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	28	Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	29	And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	30	Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	31	Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	32	And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	33	In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	15	34	And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	1	Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	2	Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	3	Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	4	Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	5	Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	6	So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	7	And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	8	In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	9	And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	10	And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	11	And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	12	Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	13	For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	14	Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	15	In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	16	And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	17	And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	18	And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	19	For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	20	Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	21	Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	22	But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	23	In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	24	And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	25	But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	26	For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	27	Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	28	So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	29	And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	30	And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	31	And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	32	And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	33	And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	16	34	In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	1	And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	2	And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	3	Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	4	And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	5	So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	6	And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	7	And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	8	And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	9	Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	10	So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	11	And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	12	And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	13	And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	14	For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	15	And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	16	And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	17	And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	18	And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	19	And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	20	And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	21	And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	22	And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	23	And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	17	24	And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	1	And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	2	And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	3	And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	4	For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	5	And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	6	So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	7	And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	8	And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	9	And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	10	As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	11	And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	12	And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	13	Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	14	And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	15	And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	16	So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	17	And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	18	And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	19	Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	20	So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	21	And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	22	Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	23	Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	24	And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	25	And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	26	And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	27	And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	28	And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	29	And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	30	And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	31	And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	32	And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	33	And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	34	And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	35	And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	36	And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	37	Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	38	Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	39	And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	40	And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	41	And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	42	So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	43	And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	44	And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	45	And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	18	46	And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	1	And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	2	Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	3	And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	4	But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	5	And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	6	And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	7	And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	8	And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	9	And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	10	And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	11	And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	12	And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	13	And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	14	And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	15	And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	16	And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	17	And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	18	Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	19	So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	20	And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	19	21	And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	1	And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	2	And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	3	Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	4	And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	5	And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	6	Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	7	Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	8	And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	9	Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	10	And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	11	And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	12	And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	13	And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	14	And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	15	Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	16	And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	17	And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	18	And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	19	So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	20	And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	21	And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	22	And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	23	And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	24	And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	25	And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	26	And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	27	And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	28	And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	29	And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	30	But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	31	And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	32	So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	33	Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	34	And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	35	And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	36	Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	37	Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	38	So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	39	And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	40	And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	41	And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	42	And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	20	43	And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	1	And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	2	And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	3	And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	4	And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	5	But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	6	And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	7	And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	8	So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	9	And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	10	And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	11	And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	12	They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	13	And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	14	Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	15	And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	16	And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	17	And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	18	Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	19	And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	20	And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	21	Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	22	And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	23	And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	24	Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	25	But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	26	And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	27	And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	28	And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
1 Kings	1Ki	11	21	29	Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	1	And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	2	And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	3	And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	4	And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	5	And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	6	Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	7	And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	8	And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	9	Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	10	And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	11	And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	12	And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	13	And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	14	And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	15	So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	16	And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	17	And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	18	And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	19	And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	20	And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	21	And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	22	And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	23	Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	24	But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	25	And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	26	And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	27	And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	28	And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	29	So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	30	And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	31	But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	32	And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	33	And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	34	And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	35	And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	36	And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	37	So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	38	And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	39	Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	40	So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	41	And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	42	Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	43	And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	44	And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	45	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	46	And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	47	There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	48	Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	49	Then said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	50	And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	51	Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	52	And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
1 Kings	1Ki	11	22	53	For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	1	Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	2	And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	3	But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	4	Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	5	And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	6	And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	7	And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	8	And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	9	Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	10	And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	11	Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	12	And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	13	And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	14	Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	15	And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	16	And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	17	So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	1	18	Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	1	And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	2	And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	3	And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	4	And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	5	And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	6	And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	7	And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	8	And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	9	And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	10	And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	11	And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	12	And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	13	He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	14	And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	15	And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	16	And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	17	And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	18	And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	19	And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	20	And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	21	And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	22	So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	23	And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	24	And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	2	25	And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	1	Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	2	And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	3	Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	4	And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	5	But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	6	And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	7	And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	8	And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	9	So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	10	And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	11	But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	12	And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	13	And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	14	And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	15	But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	16	And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	17	For thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	18	And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	19	And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	20	And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	21	And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	22	And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	23	And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	24	And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	25	And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	26	And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	3	27	Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	1	Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	2	And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	3	Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	4	And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	5	So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	6	And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	7	Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	8	And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	9	And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	10	Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	11	And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	12	And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	13	And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	14	And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	15	And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	16	And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	17	And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	18	And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	19	And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	20	And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	21	And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	22	And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	23	And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	24	Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	25	So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	26	Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	27	And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	28	Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	29	Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	30	And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	31	And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	32	And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	33	He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	34	And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	35	Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	36	And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	37	Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	38	And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	39	And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	40	So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	41	But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	42	And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	43	And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	4	44	So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	1	Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	2	And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	3	And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	4	And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	5	And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	6	And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	7	And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	8	And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	9	So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	10	And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	11	But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	12	Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	13	And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	14	Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	15	And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	16	But he said, As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	17	And Naaman said, Shall there not then, I pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	18	In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon: when I bow down myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	19	And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a little way.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	20	But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the LORD liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	21	So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	22	And he said, All is well. My master hath sent me, saying, Behold, even now there be come to me from mount Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	23	And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	24	And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	25	But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi? And he said, Thy servant went no whither.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	26	And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	5	27	The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	1	And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	2	Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	3	And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	4	So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	5	But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	6	And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	7	Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	8	Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	9	And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	10	And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	11	Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	12	And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	13	And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	14	Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	15	And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	16	And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	17	And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	18	And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	19	And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	20	And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	21	And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	22	And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	23	And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	24	And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	25	And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	26	And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	27	And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	28	And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	29	So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	30	And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	31	Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	32	But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	6	33	And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	1	Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	2	Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	3	And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	4	If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	5	And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	6	For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	7	Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	8	And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	9	Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	10	So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	11	And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's house within.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	12	And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	13	And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	14	They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	15	And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	16	And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	17	And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	18	And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	19	And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	7	20	And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	1	Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	2	And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	3	And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	4	And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	5	And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	6	And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	7	And Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	8	And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and enquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	9	So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Benhadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	10	And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	11	And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed: and the man of God wept.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	12	And Hazael said, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	13	And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD hath shewed me that thou shalt be king over Syria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	14	So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master; who said to him, What said Elisha to thee? And he answered, He told me that thou shouldest surely recover.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	15	And it came to pass on the morrow, that he took a thick cloth, and dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	16	And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Je hoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	17	Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	18	And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	19	Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, and to his children.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	20	In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	21	So Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots: and the people fled into their tents.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	22	Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	23	And the rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	24	And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	25	In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	26	Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	27	And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab: for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	28	And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael king of Syria in Ramothgilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	8	29	And king Joram went back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	1	And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	2	And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	3	Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	4	So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	5	And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	6	And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even over Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	7	And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	8	For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	9	And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	10	And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	11	Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	12	And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	13	Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	14	So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	15	But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	16	So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	17	And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	18	So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	19	Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	20	And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	21	And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	22	And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	23	And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	24	And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	25	Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	26	Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the LORD; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the LORD. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	27	But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	28	And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	29	And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	30	And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	31	And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	32	And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	33	And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	34	And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	35	And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	36	Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	9	37	And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	1	And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	2	Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	3	Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	4	But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	5	And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	6	Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	7	And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	8	And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	9	And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	10	Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	11	So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	12	And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	13	Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	14	And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	15	And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	16	And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	17	And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	18	And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	19	Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	20	And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	21	And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	22	And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	23	And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	24	And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	25	And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	26	And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	27	And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	28	Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	29	Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	30	And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	31	But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	32	In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	33	From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	34	Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	35	And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	10	36	And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	1	And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	2	But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	3	And he was with her hid in the house of the LORD six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	4	And the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the guard, and brought them to him into the house of the LORD, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of the LORD, and shewed them the king's son.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	5	And he commanded them, saying, This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you that enter in on the sabbath shall even be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	6	And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the guard: so shall ye keep the watch of the house, that it be not broken down.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	7	And two parts of all you that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of the LORD about the king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	8	And ye shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand: and he that cometh within the ranges, let him be slain: and be ye with the king as he goeth out and as he cometh in.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	9	And the captains over the hundreds did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest commanded: and they took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that should go out on the sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	10	And to the captains over hundreds did the priest give king David's spears and shields, that were in the temple of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	11	And the guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, round about the king, from the right corner of the temple to the left corner of the temple, along by the altar and the temple.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	12	And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, God save the king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	13	And when Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the temple of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	14	And when she looked, behold, the king stood by a pillar, as the manner was, and the princes and the trumpeters by the king, and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets: and Athaliah rent her clothes, and cried, Treason, Treason.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	15	But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	16	And they laid hands on her; and she went by the way by the which the horses came into the king's house: and there was she slain.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	17	And Jehoiada made a covenant between the LORD and the king and the people, that they should be the LORD's people; between the king also and the people.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	18	And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and brake it down; his altars and his images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	19	And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the captains, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of the LORD, and came by the way of the gate of the guard to the king's house. And he sat on the throne of the kings.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	20	And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was in quiet: and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	11	21	Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	1	In the seventh year of Jehu Jehoash began to reign; and forty years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	2	And Jehoash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all his days wherein Jehoiada the priest instructed him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	3	But the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	4	And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man's heart to bring into the house of the LORD,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	5	Let the priests take it to them, every man of his acquaintance: and let them repair the breaches of the house, wheresoever any breach shall be found.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	6	But it was so, that in the three and twentieth year of king Jehoash the priests had not repaired the breaches of the house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	7	Then king Jehoash called for Jehoiada the priest, and the other priests, and said unto them, Why repair ye not the breaches of the house? now therefore receive no more money of your acquaintance, but deliver it for the breaches of the house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	8	And the priests consented to receive no more money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of the house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	9	But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one cometh into the house of the LORD: and the priests that kept the door put therein all the money that was brought into the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	10	And it was so, when they saw that there was much money in the chest, that the king's scribe and the high priest came up, and they put up in bags, and told the money that was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	11	And they gave the money, being told, into the hands of them that did the work, that had the oversight of the house of the LORD: and they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the house of the LORD,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	12	And to masons, and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair the breaches of the house of the LORD, and for all that was laid out for the house to repair it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	13	Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	14	But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired therewith the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	15	Moreover they reckoned not with the men, into whose hand they delivered the money to be bestowed on workmen: for they dealt faithfully.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	16	The trespass money and sin money was not brought into the house of the LORD: it was the priests'.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	17	Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath, and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	18	And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	19	And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	20	And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	12	21	For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	1	In the three and twentieth year of Joash the son of Ahaziah king of Judah Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned seventeen years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	3	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, all their days.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	4	And Jehoahaz besought the LORD, and the LORD hearkened unto him: for he saw the oppression of Israel, because the king of Syria oppressed them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	5	(And the LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of Israel dwelt in their tents, as beforetime.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	6	Nevertheless they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who made Israel sin, but walked therein: and there remained the grove also in Samaria.)
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	7	Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like the dust by threshing.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	8	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	9	And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joash his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	10	In the thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah began Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned sixteen years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	11	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	12	And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	13	And Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat upon his throne: and Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	14	Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died. And Joash the king of Israel came down unto him, and wept over his face, and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	15	And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. And he took unto him bow and arrows.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	16	And he said to the king of Israel, Put thine hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	17	And he said, Open the window eastward. And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. And he shot. And he said, The arrow of the LORD's deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	18	And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	19	And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	20	And Elisha died, and they buried him. And the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	21	And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	22	But Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	23	And the LORD was gracious unto them, and had compassion on them, and had respect unto them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them, neither cast he them from his presence as yet.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	24	So Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	13	25	And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Three times did Joash beat him, and recovered the cities of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	1	In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	2	He was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	3	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, yet not like David his father: he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	4	Howbeit the high places were not taken away: as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	5	And it came to pass, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	6	But the children of the murderers he slew not: according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, wherein the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	7	He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	8	Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	9	And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	10	Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	11	But Amaziah would not hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	12	And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to their tents.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	13	And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Bethshemesh, and came to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	14	And he took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and hostages, and returned to Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	15	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	16	And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	17	And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	18	And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	20	And they brought him on horses: and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	21	And all the people of Judah took Azariah, which was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	25	He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	26	For the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter: for there was not any shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	27	And the LORD said not that he would blot out the name of Israel from under heaven: but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	14	28	Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he warred, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	3	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	4	Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	5	And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over the house, judging the people of the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	6	And the rest of the acts of Azariah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	16	Then Menahem smote Tiphsah, and all that were therein, and the coasts thereof from Tirzah: because they opened not to him, therefore he smote it; and all the women therein that were with child he ripped up.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	17	In the nine and thirtieth year of Azariah king of Judah began Menahem the son of Gadi to reign over Israel, and reigned ten years in Samaria.

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	19	And Pul the king of Assyria came against the land: and Menahem gave Pul a thousand talents of silver, that his hand might be with him to confirm the kingdom in his hand.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	20	And Menahem exacted the money of Israel, even of all the mighty men of wealth, of each man fifty shekels of silver, to give to the king of Assyria. So the king of Assyria turned back, and stayed not there in the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	21	And the rest of the acts of Menahem, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	22	And Menahem slept with his fathers; and Pekahiah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	23	In the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekahiah the son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned two years.

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	25	But Pekah the son of Remaliah, a captain of his, conspired against him, and smote him in Samaria, in the palace of the king's house, with Argob and Arieh, and with him fifty men of the Gileadites: and he killed him, and reigned in his room.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	26	And the rest of the acts of Pekahiah, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	27	In the two and fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah Pekah the son of Remaliah began to reign over Israel in Samaria, and reigned twenty years.

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	29	In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abelbethmaachah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali, and carried them captive to Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	30	And Hoshea the son of Elah made a conspiracy against Pekah the son of Remaliah, and smote him, and slew him, and reigned in his stead, in the twentieth year of Jotham the son of Uzziah.

2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	33	Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	34	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD: he did according to all that his father Uzziah had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	35	Howbeit the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burned incense still in the high places. He built the higher gate of the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	36	Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	37	In those days the LORD began to send against Judah Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	15	38	And Jotham slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	1	In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	2	Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	3	But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	4	And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	5	Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	6	At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	7	So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise up against me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	8	And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it for a present to the king of Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	9	And the king of Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried the people of it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	10	And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglathpileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that was at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	11	And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made it against king Ahaz came from Damascus.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	12	And when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	13	And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	14	And he brought also the brasen altar, which was before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	15	And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire by.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	16	Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	17	And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that were under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	18	And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	19	Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	16	20	And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	1	In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah began Hoshea the son of Elah to reign in Samaria over Israel nine years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as the kings of Israel that were before him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	3	Against him came up Shalmaneser king of Assyria; and Hoshea became his servant, and gave him presents.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	4	And the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea: for he had sent messengers to So king of Egypt, and brought no present to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: therefore the king of Assyria shut him up, and bound him in prison.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	5	Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, and went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	6	In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria, and placed them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	7	For so it was, that the children of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, which had brought them up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	8	And walked in the statutes of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	9	And the children of Israel did secretly those things that were not right against the LORD their God, and they built them high places in all their cities, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	10	And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	11	And there they burnt incense in all the high places, as did the heathen whom the LORD carried away before them; and wrought wicked things to provoke the LORD to anger:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	12	For they served idols, whereof the LORD had said unto them, Ye shall not do this thing.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	13	Yet the LORD testified against Israel, and against Judah, by all the prophets, and by all the seers, saying, Turn ye from your evil ways, and keep my commandments and my statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by my servants the prophets.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	14	Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the LORD their God.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	15	And they rejected his statutes, and his covenant that he made with their fathers, and his testimonies which he testified against them; and they followed vanity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that they should not do like them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	16	And they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	17	And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	18	Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah only.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	19	Also Judah kept not the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they made.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	20	And the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them out of his sight.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	21	For he rent Israel from the house of David; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	22	For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they departed not from them;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	23	Until the LORD removed Israel out of his sight, as he had said by all his servants the prophets. So was Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	24	And the king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	25	And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the LORD: therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	26	Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	27	Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	28	Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	29	Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	30	And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	31	And the Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites burnt their children in fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	32	So they feared the LORD, and made unto themselves of the lowest of them priests of the high places, which sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	33	They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	34	Unto this day they do after the former manners: they fear not the LORD, neither do they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law and commandment which the LORD commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	35	With whom the LORD had made a covenant, and charged them, saying, Ye shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	36	But the LORD, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and a stretched out arm, him shall ye fear, and him shall ye worship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	37	And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore; and ye shall not fear other gods.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	38	And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	39	But the LORD your God ye shall fear; and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	40	Howbeit they did not hearken, but they did after their former manner.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	17	41	So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	1	Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	2	Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	3	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	4	He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	5	He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	6	For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	7	And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	8	He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	9	And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	10	And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	11	And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	12	Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	13	Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	14	And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	15	And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	16	At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	17	And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	18	And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	19	And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	20	Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	21	Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	22	But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	23	Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	24	How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	25	Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	26	Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	27	But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	28	Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	29	Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	30	Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	31	Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	32	Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	33	Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	34	Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	35	Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	36	But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	18	37	Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	1	And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	2	And he sent Eliakim, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	3	And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and blasphemy; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	4	It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	5	So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	6	And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	7	Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	8	So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	9	And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	10	Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	11	Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	12	Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed; as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Thelasar?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	13	Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	14	And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	15	And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	16	LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	17	Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	18	And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	19	Now therefore, O LORD our God, I beseech thee, save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	20	Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	21	This is the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of Zion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	22	Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	23	By thy messengers thou hast reproached the LORD, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	24	I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of besieged places.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	25	Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	26	Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the house tops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	27	But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	28	Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	29	And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such things as grow of themselves, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruits thereof.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	30	And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	31	For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	32	Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	33	By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	34	For I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	35	And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	36	So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	19	37	And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	1	In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	2	Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	3	I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	4	And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	5	Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	6	And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	7	And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	8	And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the LORD the third day?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	9	And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	10	And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	11	And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	12	At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	13	And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	14	Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	15	And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	16	And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	17	Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	18	And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	19	Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	20	And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	20	21	And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	1	Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hephzibah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	2	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	3	For he built up again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as did Ahab king of Israel; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	4	And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	5	And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	6	And he made his son pass through the fire, and observed times, and used enchantments, and dealt with familiar spirits and wizards: he wrought much wickedness in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	7	And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	8	Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	9	But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	10	And the LORD spake by his servants the prophets, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	11	Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, which were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	12	Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	13	And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	14	And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	15	Because they have done that which was evil in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	16	Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	17	Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	18	And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	19	Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	20	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh did.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	21	And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	22	And he forsook the LORD God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	23	And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and slew the king in his own house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	24	And the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	25	Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	21	26	And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza: and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	1	Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	2	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	3	And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	4	Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the silver which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	5	And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD: and let them give it to the doers of the work which is in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	6	Unto carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	7	Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt faithfully.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	8	And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan, and he read it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	9	And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought the king word again, and said, Thy servants have gathered the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of them that do the work, that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	10	And Shaphan the scribe shewed the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	11	And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the law, that he rent his clothes.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	12	And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Michaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asahiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	13	Go ye, enquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	14	So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	15	And she said unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me,
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	16	Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	17	Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	18	But to the king of Judah which sent you to enquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, As touching the words which thou hast heard;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	19	Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	22	20	Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	1	And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	2	And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	3	And the king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people stood to the covenant.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	4	And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the grove, and for all the host of heaven: and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Bethel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	5	And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	6	And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	7	And he brake down the houses of the sodomites, that were by the house of the LORD, where the women wove hangings for the grove.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	8	And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba, and brake down the high places of the gates that were in the entering in of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand at the gate of the city.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	9	Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat of the unleavened bread among their brethren.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	10	And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	11	And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	12	And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	13	And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	14	And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	15	Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	16	And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	17	Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	18	And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	19	And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	20	And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	21	And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	22	Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	23	But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was holden to the LORD in Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	24	Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	25	And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	26	Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	27	And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	28	Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	29	In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	30	And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	31	Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	32	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	33	And Pharaohnechoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of an hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	34	And Pharaohnechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	35	And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh: he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaohnechoh.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	36	Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Zebudah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	23	37	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	1	In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years: then he turned and rebelled against him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	2	And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldees, and bands of the Syrians, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servants the prophets.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	3	Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	4	And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the LORD would not pardon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	5	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	6	So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	7	And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land: for the king of Babylon had taken from the river of Egypt unto the river Euphrates all that pertained to the king of Egypt.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	8	Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	9	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	10	At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up against Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	11	And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came against the city, and his servants did besiege it.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	12	And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers: and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	13	And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	14	And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and smiths: none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	15	And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon, and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the mighty of the land, those carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	16	And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and craftsmen and smiths a thousand, all that were strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	17	And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	18	Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	19	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	24	20	For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	1	And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he, and all his host, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it; and they built forts against it round about.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	2	And the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	3	And on the ninth day of the fourth month the famine prevailed in the city, and there was no bread for the people of the land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	4	And the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between two walls, which is by the king's garden: (now the Chaldees were against the city round about:) and the king went the way toward the plain.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	5	And the army of the Chaldees pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho: and all his army were scattered from him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	6	So they took the king, and brought him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	7	And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him with fetters of brass, and carried him to Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	8	And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	9	And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man's house burnt he with fire.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	10	And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	11	Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	12	But the captain of the guard left of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	13	And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	14	And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	15	And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	16	The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	17	The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathen work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathen work.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	18	And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	19	And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king's presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	20	And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	21	And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	22	And as for the people that remained in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	23	And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	24	And Gedaliah sware to them, and to their men, and said unto them, Fear not to be the servants of the Chaldees: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon; and it shall be well with you.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	25	But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldees that were with him at Mizpah.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	26	And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the armies, arose, and came to Egypt: for they were afraid of the Chaldees.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	27	And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the year that he began to reign did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	28	And he spake kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon;
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	29	And changed his prison garments: and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.
2 Kings	2Ki	12	25	30	And his allowance was a continual allowance given him of the king, a daily rate for every day, all the days of his life.

1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	16	42	And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	16	43	And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	1	Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	2	Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	3	And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	4	Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	5	For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	6	Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	7	Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	8	And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	9	Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	10	And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	11	And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	12	He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	13	I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	14	But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	15	According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	16	And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	17	And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	18	What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	19	O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	20	O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	21	And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	22	For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	23	Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	24	Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	25	For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	26	And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	17	27	Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	1	Now after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philistines.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	2	And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became David's servants, and brought gifts.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	3	And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his dominion by the river Euphrates.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	4	And David took from him a thousand chariots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen: David also houghed all the chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred chariots.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	5	And when the Syrians of Damascus came to help Hadarezer king of Zobah, David slew of the Syrians two and twenty thousand men.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	6	Then David put garrisons in Syriadamascus; and the Syrians became David's servants, and brought gifts. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	7	And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	8	Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	9	Now when Tou king of Hamath heard how David had smitten all the host of Hadarezer king of Zobah;
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	10	He sent Hadoram his son to king David, to enquire of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had fought against Hadarezer, and smitten him; (for Hadarezer had war with Tou;) and with him all manner of vessels of gold and silver and brass.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	11	Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	12	Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah slew of the Edomites in the valley of salt eighteen thousand.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	13	And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	14	So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	15	And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, recorder.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	16	And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and Abimelech the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Shavsha was scribe;
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	18	17	And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and the sons of David were chief about the king.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	1	Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	2	And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me. And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	3	But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee for to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	4	Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the midst hard by their buttocks, and sent them away.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	5	Then there went certain, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them: for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	6	And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	7	So they hired thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maachah and his people; who came and pitched before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	8	And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	9	And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array before the gate of the city: and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	10	Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose out of all the choice of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	11	And the rest of the people he delivered unto the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in array against the children of Ammon.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	12	And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will help thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	13	Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in his sight.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	14	So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle; and they fled before him.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	15	And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	16	And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the river: and Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer went before them.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	17	And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel, and passed over Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Syrians, they fought with him.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	18	But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	19	19	And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and became his servants: neither would the Syrians help the children of Ammon any more.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	1	And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and destroyed it.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	2	And David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	3	And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	4	And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	5	And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	6	And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	7	But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	20	8	These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	1	And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	2	And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring the number of them to me, that I may know it.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	3	And Joab answered, The LORD make his people an hundred times so many more as they be: but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why then doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of trespass to Israel?
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	4	Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed, and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	5	And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and an hundred thousand men that drew sword: and Judah was four hundred threescore and ten thousand men that drew sword.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	6	But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among them: for the king's word was abominable to Joab.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	7	And God was displeased with this thing; therefore he smote Israel.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	8	And David said unto God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing: but now, I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	9	And the LORD spake unto Gad, David's seer, saying,
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	10	Go and tell David, saying, Thus saith the LORD, I offer thee three things: choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	11	So Gad came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose thee
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	12	Either three years' famine; or three months to be destroyed before thy foes, while that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even the pestilence, in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the coasts of Israel. Now therefore advise thyself what word I shall bring again to him that sent me.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	13	And David said unto Gad, I am in a great strait: let me fall now into the hand of the LORD; for very great are his mercies: but let me not fall into the hand of man.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	14	So the LORD sent pestilence upon Israel: and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	15	And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it: and as he was destroying, the LORD beheld, and he repented him of the evil, and said to the angel that destroyed, It is enough, stay now thine hand. And the angel of the LORD stood by the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	16	And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD stand between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders of Israel, who were clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	17	And David said unto God, Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done evil indeed; but as for these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, O LORD my God, be on me, and on my father's house; but not on thy people, that they should be plagued.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	18	Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and set up an altar unto the LORD in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	19	And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spake in the name of the LORD.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	20	And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	21	And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshingfloor, and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	22	Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the place of this threshingfloor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD: thou shalt grant it me for the full price: that the plague may be stayed from the people.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	23	And Ornan said unto David, Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, and the threshing instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meat offering; I give it all.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	24	And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	25	So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	26	And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and called upon the LORD; and he answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	27	And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	28	At that time when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	29	For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of the burnt offering, were at that season in the high place at Gibeon.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	21	30	But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	1	Then David said, This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering for Israel.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	2	And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	3	And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings; and brass in abundance without weight;
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	4	Also cedar trees in abundance: for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar wood to David.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	5	And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnifical, of fame and of glory throughout all countries: I will therefore now make preparation for it. So David prepared abundantly before his death.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	6	Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the LORD God of Israel.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	7	And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	8	But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	9	Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about: for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	10	He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	11	Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	12	Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	13	Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	14	Now, behold, in my trouble I have prepared for the house of the LORD an hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight; for it is in abundance: timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	15	Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of cunning men for every manner of work.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	16	Of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise therefore, and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	17	David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	18	Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side? for he hath given the inhabitants of the land into mine hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before his people.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	22	19	Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	1	So when David was old and full of days, he made Solomon his son king over Israel.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	2	And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	3	Now the Levites were numbered from the age of thirty years and upward: and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	4	Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of the LORD; and six thousand were officers and judges:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	5	Moreover four thousand were porters; and four thousand praised the LORD with the instruments which I made, said David, to praise therewith.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	6	And David divided them into courses among the sons of Levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	7	Of the Gershonites were, Laadan, and Shimei.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	8	The sons of Laadan; the chief was Jehiel, and Zetham, and Joel, three.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	9	The sons of Shimei; Shelomith, and Haziel, and Haran, three. These were the chief of the fathers of Laadan.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	10	And the sons of Shimei were, Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	11	And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second: but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they were in one reckoning, according to their father's house.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	12	The sons of Kohath; Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	13	The sons of Amram; Aaron and Moses: and Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	14	Now concerning Moses the man of God, his sons were named of the tribe of Levi.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	15	The sons of Moses were, Gershom, and Eliezer.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	16	Of the sons of Gershom, Shebuel was the chief.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	17	And the sons of Eliezer were, Rehabiah the chief. And Eliezer had none other sons; but the sons of Rehabiah were very many.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	18	Of the sons of Izhar; Shelomith the chief.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	19	Of the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	20	Of the sons of Uzziel; Micah the first, and Jesiah the second.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	21	The sons of Merari; Mahli, and Mushi. The sons of Mahli; Eleazar, and Kish.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	22	And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but daughters: and their brethren the sons of Kish took them.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	23	The sons of Mushi; Mahli, and Eder, and Jeremoth, three.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	24	These were the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; even the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from the age of twenty years and upward.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	25	For David said, The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem for ever:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	26	And also unto the Levites; they shall no more carry the tabernacle, nor any vessels of it for the service thereof.
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	27	For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above:
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	28	Because their office was to wait on the sons of Aaron for the service of the house of the LORD, in the courts, and in the chambers, and in the purifying of all holy things, and the work of the service of the house of God;
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	29	Both for the shewbread, and for the fine flour for meat offering, and for the unleavened cakes, and for that which is baked in the pan, and for that which is fried, and for all manner of measure and size;
1 Chronicles	1Chr	13	23	30	And to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at even;

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	1	11	And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	4	It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	5	And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	6	He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	14	He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	15	One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	19	And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	4	20	Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	1	Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	2	Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	3	Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	4	And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	5	And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	7	And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	8	For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	9	And they drew out the staves of the ark, that the ends of the staves were seen from the ark before the oracle; but they were not seen without. And there it is unto this day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	10	There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put therein at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	11	And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place: (for all the priests that were present were sanctified, and did not then wait by course:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	12	Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	13	It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	5	14	So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	1	Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	2	But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	4	And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	5	Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	6	But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	7	Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	8	But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	9	Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	10	The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	11	And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	12	And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	13	For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	14	And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	15	Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	16	Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	17	Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	18	But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	19	Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	20	That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	21	Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	22	If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	23	Then hear thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	24	And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	25	Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	26	When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	27	Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	28	If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	29	Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	30	Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	31	That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	32	Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	33	Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	34	If thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	35	Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	36	If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	37	Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	38	If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	39	Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	40	Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	41	Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	6	42	O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	1	Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	2	And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	3	And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	4	Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	5	And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty and two thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	6	And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	7	Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	8	Also at the same time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	9	And in the eighth day they made a solemn assembly: for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast seven days.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	10	And on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away into their tents, glad and merry in heart for the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	11	Thus Solomon finished the house of the LORD, and the king's house: and all that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	12	And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	13	If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	14	If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	15	Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	16	For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	17	And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	18	Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	19	But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	20	Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	21	And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	7	22	And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	1	And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, wherein Solomon had built the house of the LORD, and his own house,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	2	That the cities which Huram had restored to Solomon, Solomon built them, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	3	And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	4	And he built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the store cities, which he built in Hamath.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	5	Also he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	6	And Baalath, and all the store cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the land of his dominion.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	7	As for all the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	8	But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	9	But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no servants for his work; but they were men of war, and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots and horsemen.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	10	And these were the chief of king Solomon's officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule over the people.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	11	And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the house that he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places are holy, whereunto the ark of the LORD hath come.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	12	Then Solomon offered burnt offerings unto the LORD on the altar of the LORD, which he had built before the porch,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	13	Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	14	And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of God commanded.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	15	And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasures.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	16	Now all the work of Solomon was prepared unto the day of the foundation of the house of the LORD, and until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was perfected.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	17	Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to Eloth, at the sea side in the land of Edom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	8	18	And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	1	And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great company, and camels that bare spices, and gold in abundance, and precious stones: and when she was come to Solomon, she communed with him of all that was in her heart.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	2	And Solomon told her all her questions: and there was nothing hid from Solomon which he told her not.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	3	And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	4	And the meat of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	5	And she said to the king, It was a true report which I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	6	Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it: and, behold, the one half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me: for thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	7	Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, which stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	8	Blessed be the LORD thy God, which delighted in thee to set thee on his throne, to be king for the LORD thy God: because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee king over them, to do judgment and justice.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	9	And she gave the king an hundred and twenty talents of gold, and of spices great abundance, and precious stones: neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	10	And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, brought algum trees and precious stones.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	11	And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	12	And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went away to her own land, she and her servants.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	13	Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	14	Beside that which chapmen and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	15	And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	16	And three hundred shields made he of beaten gold: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield. And the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	17	Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	18	And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and stays on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the stays:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	19	And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps. There was not the like made in any kingdom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	20	And all the drinking vessels of king Solomon were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold: none were of silver; it was not any thing accounted of in the days of Solomon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	21	For the king's ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram: every three years once came the ships of Tarshish bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	22	And king Solomon passed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	23	And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, that God had put in his heart.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	24	And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, harness, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	25	And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen; whom he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	26	And he reigned over all the kings from the river even unto the land of the Philistines, and to the border of Egypt.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	27	And the king made silver in Jerusalem as stones, and cedar trees made he as the sycomore trees that are in the low plains in abundance.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	28	And they brought unto Solomon horses out of Egypt, and out of all lands.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	29	Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Iddo the seer against Jeroboam the son of Nebat?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	30	And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	9	31	And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	1	And Rehoboam went to Shechem: for to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	2	And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	3	And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spake to Rehoboam, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	4	Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease thou somewhat the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	5	And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	6	And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	7	And they spake unto him, saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy servants for ever.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	8	But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	9	And he said unto them, What advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that thy father did put upon us?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	10	And the young men that were brought up with him spake unto him, saying, Thus shalt thou answer the people that spake unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it somewhat lighter for us; thus shalt thou say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	11	For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	12	So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	13	And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	14	And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	15	So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spake by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	16	And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to thine own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	17	But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	18	Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	10	19	And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	1	And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he gathered of the house of Judah and Benjamin an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	2	But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	3	Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	4	Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren: return every man to his house: for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	5	And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	6	He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	7	And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	8	And Gath, and Mareshah, and Ziph,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	9	And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	10	And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin fenced cities.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	11	And he fortified the strong holds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and of oil and wine.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	12	And in every several city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	13	And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel resorted to him out of all their coasts.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	14	For the Levites left their suburbs and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem: for Jeroboam and his sons had cast them off from executing the priest's office unto the LORD:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	15	And he ordained him priests for the high places, and for the devils, and for the calves which he had made.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	16	And after them out of all the tribes of Israel such as set their hearts to seek the LORD God of Israel came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice unto the LORD God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	17	So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years: for three years they walked in the way of David and Solomon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	18	And Rehoboam took him Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	19	Which bare him children; Jeush, and Shamariah, and Zaham.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	20	And after her he took Maachah the daughter of Absalom; which bare him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	21	And Rehoboam loved Maachah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines: (for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines; and begat twenty and eight sons, and threescore daughters.)
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	22	And Rehoboam made Abijah the son of Maachah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him king.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	11	23	And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his children throughout all the countries of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fenced city: and he gave them victual in abundance. And he desired many wives.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	1	And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	2	And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	3	With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	4	And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	5	Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	6	Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	7	And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	8	Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	9	So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	10	Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	11	And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and fetched them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	12	And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	13	So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	14	And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	15	Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	12	16	And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	1	Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	2	He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	3	And Abijah set the battle in array with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men: Jeroboam also set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, being mighty men of valour.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	4	And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	5	Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	6	Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, is risen up, and hath rebelled against his lord.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	7	And there are gathered unto him vain men, the children of Belial, and have strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and tenderhearted, and could not withstand them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	8	And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye be a great multitude, and there are with you golden calves, which Jeroboam made you for gods.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	9	Have ye not cast out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the nations of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same may be a priest of them that are no gods.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	10	But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken him; and the priests, which minister unto the LORD, are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites wait upon their business:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	11	And they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt sacrifices and sweet incense: the shewbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening: for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	12	And, behold, God himself is with us for our captain, and his priests with sounding trumpets to cry alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	13	But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them: so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	14	And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind: and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	15	Then the men of Judah gave a shout: and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	16	And the children of Israel fled before Judah: and God delivered them into their hand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	17	And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter: so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	18	Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	19	And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	20	Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah: and the LORD struck him, and he died.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	21	But Abijah waxed mighty, and married fourteen wives, and begat twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	13	22	And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the story of the prophet Iddo.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	1	So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	2	And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	3	For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	4	And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	5	Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	6	And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	7	Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	8	And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	11	And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	12	So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	13	And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	14	14	And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	1	And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	2	And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	6	And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	7	Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	8	And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	9	And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	10	So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	11	And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	15	And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	16	And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	15	17	But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	1	In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	2	Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	3	There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	4	And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	5	And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	6	Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	7	And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	8	Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	9	For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	10	Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	16	11	And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	17	2	And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	17	3	And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto Baalim;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	17	4	But sought to the Lord God of his father, and walked in his commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	7	And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	14	And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	21	And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	22	Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	23	Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	24	And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	18	33	And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	2	And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	3	And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	4	Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	5	Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	6	And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	7	Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	8	In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	9	Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	10	So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	11	Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	12	And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	13	But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	14	Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	15	And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	16	Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	17	And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	18	And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	19	And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	21	20	Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	1	And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	2	Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	3	He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	4	Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	5	He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	6	And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	7	And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	8	And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	9	And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	10	But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	11	But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	22	12	And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	1	And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	2	And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	3	And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	4	This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	5	And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	6	But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	7	And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	8	So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	9	Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	10	And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	11	Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	12	Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	13	And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	14	Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	15	So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	16	And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	17	Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	18	Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	19	And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	20	And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	23	21	And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	1	Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	2	And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	3	And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	4	And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	5	And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	6	And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	7	For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	8	And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	9	And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	10	And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	11	Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	12	And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	13	So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	14	And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	15	But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	16	And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	17	Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	18	And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	19	Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	20	And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	21	And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	22	Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	23	And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	24	For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	25	And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	26	And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	24	27	Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	1	Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	2	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	3	Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	4	But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	5	Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	6	He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	7	But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	8	But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	9	And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	10	Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	11	And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	12	And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	13	But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	14	Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	15	Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	16	And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	17	Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	18	And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	19	Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	20	But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	21	So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	22	And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	23	And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	24	And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	25	And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	26	Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	27	Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	25	28	And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	1	Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	2	He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	3	Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	4	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	5	And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	6	And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	7	And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	8	And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	9	Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	10	Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	11	Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	12	The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	13	And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	14	And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	15	And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	16	But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	17	And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	18	And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	19	Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	20	And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	21	And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	22	Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	26	23	So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	27	1	Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	27	6	So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	10	And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	11	Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	12	Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	13	And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	22	And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	23	For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	24	And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	28	27	And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	6	For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	7	Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	13	And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	17	Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	18	Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	19	Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	20	Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	21	And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	22	So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	23	And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	24	And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	25	And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	27	And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	28	And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	29	And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	30	Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	31	Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	32	And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	33	And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	34	But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	35	And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	29	36	And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	1	And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	2	For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	3	For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	4	And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	5	So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	6	So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	7	And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	8	Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	9	For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	10	So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	11	Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	12	Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	13	And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	14	And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	15	Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	16	And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	17	For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	18	For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	19	That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	20	And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	21	And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	22	And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	23	And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	24	For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	25	And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	26	So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	30	27	Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	1	Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and brake the images in pieces, and cut down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	2	And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	3	He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the set feasts, as it is written in the law of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	4	Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	5	And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	6	And concerning the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of holy things which were consecrated unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	7	In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	8	And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and his people Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	9	Then Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	10	And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty: for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great store.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	11	Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	12	And brought in the offerings and the tithes and the dedicated things faithfully: over which Cononiah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the next.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	13	And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Cononiah and Shimei his brother, at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	14	And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter toward the east, was over the freewill offerings of God, to distribute the oblations of the LORD, and the most holy things.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	15	And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	16	Beside their genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even unto every one that entereth into the house of the LORD, his daily portion for their service in their charges according to their courses;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	17	Both to the genealogy of the priests by the house of their fathers, and the Levites from twenty years old and upward, in their charges by their courses;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	18	And to the genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation: for in their set office they sanctified themselves in holiness:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	19	Also of the sons of Aaron the priests, which were in the fields of the suburbs of their cities, in every several city, the men that were expressed by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	20	And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, and wrought that which was good and right and truth before the LORD his God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	31	21	And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	1	After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	2	And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	3	He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	4	So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	5	Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	6	And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	7	Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	8	With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	9	After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	10	Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	11	Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	12	Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	13	Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	14	Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	15	Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	16	And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	17	He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	18	Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	19	And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	20	And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	21	And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	22	Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	23	And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	24	In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	25	But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	26	Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	27	And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	28	Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	29	Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	30	This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	31	Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	32	Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	32	33	And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	1	Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	2	But did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, like unto the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	3	For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down, and he reared up altars for Baalim, and made groves, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	4	Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	5	And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	6	And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	7	And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	8	Neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your fathers; so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	9	So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	10	And the LORD spake to Manasseh, and to his people: but they would not hearken.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	11	Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the thorns, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	12	And when he was in affliction, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	13	And prayed unto him: and he was intreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD he was God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	14	Now after this he built a wall without the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entering in at the fish gate, and compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height, and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	15	And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	16	And he repaired the altar of the LORD, and sacrificed thereon peace offerings and thank offerings, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	17	Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, yet unto the LORD their God only.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	18	Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spake to him in the name of the LORD God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	19	His prayer also, and how God was intreated of him, and all his sins, and his trespass, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled: behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	20	So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house: and Amon his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	21	Amon was two and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned two years in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	22	But he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father: for Amon sacrificed unto all the carved images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	23	And humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but Amon trespassed more and more.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	24	And his servants conspired against him, and slew him in his own house.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	33	25	But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	1	Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	2	And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand, nor to the left.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	3	For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	4	And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that were on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust of them, and strowed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	5	And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	6	And so did he in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	7	And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	8	Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	9	And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	10	And they put it in the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD, and they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD, to repair and amend the house:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	11	Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, to buy hewn stone, and timber for couplings, and to floor the houses which the kings of Judah had destroyed.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	12	And the men did the work faithfully: and the overseers of them were Jahath and Obadiah, the Levites, of the sons of Merari; and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to set it forward; and other of the Levites, all that could skill of instruments of musick.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	13	Also they were over the bearers of burdens, and were overseers of all that wrought the work in any manner of service: and of the Levites there were scribes, and officers, and porters.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	14	And when they brought out the money that was brought into the house of the LORD, Hilkiah the priest found a book of the law of the LORD given by Moses.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	15	And Hilkiah answered and said to Shaphan the scribe, I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD. And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	16	And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and brought the king word back again, saying, All that was committed to thy servants, they do it.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	17	And they have gathered together the money that was found in the house of the LORD, and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers, and to the hand of the workmen.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	18	Then Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying, Hilkiah the priest hath given me a book. And Shaphan read it before the king.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	19	And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the law, that he rent his clothes.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	20	And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Abdon the son of Micah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah a servant of the king's, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	21	Go, enquire of the LORD for me, and for them that are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that is found: for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do after all that is written in this book.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	22	And Hilkiah, and they that the king had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	23	And she answered them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent you to me,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	24	Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the curses that are written in the book which they have read before the king of Judah:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	25	Because they have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore my wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	26	And as for the king of Judah, who sent you to enquire of the LORD, so shall ye say unto him, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel concerning the words which thou hast heard;
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	27	Because thine heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before God, when thou heardest his words against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, and humbledst thyself before me, and didst rend thy clothes, and weep before me; I have even heard thee also, saith the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	28	Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil that I will bring upon this place, and upon the inhabitants of the same. So they brought the king word again.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	29	Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	30	And the king went up into the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the priests, and the Levites, and all the people, great and small: and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	31	And the king stood in his place, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his commandments, and his testimonies, and his statutes, with all his heart, and with all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant which are written in this book.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	32	And he caused all that were present in Jerusalem and Benjamin to stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	34	33	And Josiah took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to the children of Israel, and made all that were present in Israel to serve, even to serve the LORD their God. And all his days they departed not from following the LORD, the God of their fathers.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	1	Moreover Josiah kept a passover unto the LORD in Jerusalem: and they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	2	And he set the priests in their charges, and encouraged them to the service of the house of the LORD,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	3	And said unto the Levites that taught all Israel, which were holy unto the LORD, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David king of Israel did build; it shall not be a burden upon your shoulders: serve now the LORD your God, and his people Israel,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	4	And prepare yourselves by the houses of your fathers, after your courses, according to the writing of David king of Israel, and according to the writing of Solomon his son.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	5	And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the families of the fathers of your brethren the people, and after the division of the families of the Levites.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	6	So kill the passover, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare your brethren, that they may do according to the word of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	7	And Josiah gave to the people, of the flock, lambs and kids, all for the passover offerings, for all that were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bullocks: these were of the king's substance.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	8	And his princes gave willingly unto the people, to the priests, and to the Levites: Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave unto the priests for the passover offerings two thousand and six hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	9	Conaniah also, and Shemaiah and Nethaneel, his brethren, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, gave unto the Levites for passover offerings five thousand small cattle, and five hundred oxen.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	10	So the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their courses, according to the king's commandment.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	11	And they killed the passover, and the priests sprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites flayed them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	12	And they removed the burnt offerings, that they might give according to the divisions of the families of the people, to offer unto the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so did they with the oxen.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	13	And they roasted the passover with fire according to the ordinance: but the other holy offerings sod they in pots, and in caldrons, and in pans, and divided them speedily among all the people.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	14	And afterward they made ready for themselves, and for the priests: because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering of burnt offerings and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	15	And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	16	So all the service of the LORD was prepared the same day, to keep the passover, and to offer burnt offerings upon the altar of the LORD, according to the commandment of king Josiah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	17	And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	18	And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	19	In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah was this passover kept.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	20	After all this, when Josiah had prepared the temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Charchemish by Euphrates: and Josiah went out against him.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	21	But he sent ambassadors to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come not against thee this day, but against the house wherewith I have war: for God commanded me to make haste: forbear thee from meddling with God, who is with me, that he destroy thee not.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	22	Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight with him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	23	And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away; for I am sore wounded.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	24	His servants therefore took him out of that chariot, and put him in the second chariot that he had; and they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died, and was buried in one of the sepulchres of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	25	And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	26	Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and his goodness, according to that which was written in the law of the LORD,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	35	27	And his deeds, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	1	Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and made him king in his father's stead in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	2	Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	3	And the king of Egypt put him down at Jerusalem, and condemned the land in an hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	4	And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, and turned his name to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, and carried him to Egypt.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	5	Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	6	Against him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bound him in fetters, to carry him to Babylon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	7	Nebuchadnezzar also carried of the vessels of the house of the LORD to Babylon, and put them in his temple at Babylon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	8	Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	9	Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	10	And when the year was expired, king Nebuchadnezzar sent, and brought him to Babylon, with the goodly vessels of the house of the LORD, and made Zedekiah his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	11	Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned eleven years in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	12	And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD his God, and humbled not himself before Jeremiah the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	13	And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the LORD God of Israel.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	14	Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the LORD which he had hallowed in Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	15	And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	16	But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	17	Therefore he brought upon them the king of the Chaldees, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or him that stooped for age: he gave them all into his hand.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	18	And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king, and of his princes; all these he brought to Babylon.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	19	And they burnt the house of God, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, and burnt all the palaces thereof with fire, and destroyed all the goodly vessels thereof.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	20	And them that had escaped from the sword carried he away to Babylon; where they were servants to him and his sons until the reign of the kingdom of Persia:
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	21	To fulfil the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept sabbath, to fulfil threescore and ten years.
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	22	Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Chronicles	2Chr	14	36	23	Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth hath the LORD God of heaven given me; and he hath charged me to build him an house in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Who is there among you of all his people? The LORD his God be with him, and let him go up.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	1	Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	2	Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	3	Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	4	And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourneth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	5	Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	6	And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	7	Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	8	Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	1	9	And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,

Ezra	Ezra	15	1	11	All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	1	Now these are the children of the province that went up out of the captivity, of those which had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon, and came again unto Jerusalem and Judah, every one unto his city;

Ezra	Ezra	15	2	58	All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	59	And these were they which went up from Telmelah, Telharsa, Cherub, Addan, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, and their seed, whether they were of Israel:
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	60	The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred fifty and two.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	61	And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai; which took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and was called after their name:
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	62	These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but they were not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	63	And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and with Thummim.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	64	The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	65	Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	66	Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five;
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	67	Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	68	And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the LORD which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in his place:
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	69	They gave after their ability unto the treasure of the work threescore and one thousand drams of gold, and five thousand pound of silver, and one hundred priests' garments.
Ezra	Ezra	15	2	70	So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	1	And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in the cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	2	Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	3	And they set the altar upon his bases; for fear was upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	4	They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	5	And afterward offered the continual burnt offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a freewill offering unto the LORD.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	6	From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not yet laid.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	7	They gave money also unto the masons, and to the carpenters; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	8	Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	9	Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	10	And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	11	And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	12	But many of the priests and Levites and chief of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
Ezra	Ezra	15	3	13	So that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard afar off.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	1	Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the children of the captivity builded the temple unto the LORD God of Israel;
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	2	Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief of the fathers, and said unto them, Let us build with you: for we seek your God, as ye do; and we do sacrifice unto him since the days of Esarhaddon king of Assur, which brought us up hither.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	3	But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	4	Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	5	And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	6	And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	7	And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	8	Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	9	Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites, and the Elamites,
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	10	And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnapper brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest that are on this side the river, and at such a time.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	11	This is the copy of the letter that they sent unto him, even unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	12	Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	13	Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up again, then will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and so thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	14	Now because we have maintenance from the king's palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king's dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	15	That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	16	We certify the king that, if this city be builded again, and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	17	Then sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and to Shimshai the scribe, and to the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and unto the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	18	The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	19	And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and that rebellion and sedition have been made therein.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	20	There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	21	Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	22	Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	23	Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter was read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
Ezra	Ezra	15	4	24	Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	1	Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	2	Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	3	At the same time came to them Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and their companions, and said thus unto them, Who hath commanded you to build this house, and to make up this wall?
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	4	Then said we unto them after this manner, What are the names of the men that make this building?
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	5	But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	6	The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor on this side the river, and Shetharboznai, and his companions the Apharsachites, which were on this side the river, sent unto Darius the king:
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	7	They sent a letter unto him, wherein was written thus; Unto Darius the king, all peace.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	8	Be it known unto the king, that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is builded with great stones, and timber is laid in the walls, and this work goeth fast on, and prospereth in their hands.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	9	Then asked we those elders, and said unto them thus, Who commanded you to build this house, and to make up these walls?
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	10	We asked their names also, to certify thee, that we might write the names of the men that were the chief of them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	11	And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and build the house that was builded these many years ago, which a great king of Israel builded and set up.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	12	But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	13	But in the first year of Cyrus the king of Babylon the same king Cyrus made a decree to build this house of God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	14	And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem, and brought them into the temple of Babylon, those did Cyrus the king take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered unto one, whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor;
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	15	And said unto him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be builded in his place.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	16	Then came the same Sheshbazzar, and laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and yet it is not finished.
Ezra	Ezra	15	5	17	Now therefore, if it seem good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	1	Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	2	And there was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and therein was a record thus written:
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	3	In the first year of Cyrus the king the same Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem, Let the house be builded, the place where they offered sacrifices, and let the foundations thereof be strongly laid; the height thereof threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof threescore cubits;
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	4	With three rows of great stones, and a row of new timber: and let the expenses be given out of the king's house:
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	5	And also let the golden and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple which is at Jerusalem, and brought unto Babylon, be restored, and brought again unto the temple which is at Jerusalem, every one to his place, and place them in the house of God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	6	Now therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shetharboznai, and your companions the Apharsachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far from thence:
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	7	Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	8	Moreover I make a decree what ye shall do to the elders of these Jews for the building of this house of God: that of the king's goods, even of the tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenses be given unto these men, that they be not hindered.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	9	And that which they have need of, both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings of the God of heaven, wheat, salt, wine, and oil, according to the appointment of the priests which are at Jerusalem, let it be given them day by day without fail:
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	10	That they may offer sacrifices of sweet savours unto the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his sons.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	11	Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	12	And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there destroy all kings and people, that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God which is at Jerusalem. I Darius have made a decree; let it be done with speed.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	13	Then Tatnai, governor on this side the river, Shetharboznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king had sent, so they did speedily.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	14	And the elders of the Jews builded, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they builded, and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the commandment of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	15	And this house was finished on the third day of the month Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	16	And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy,
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	17	And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	18	And they set the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, for the service of God, which is at Jerusalem; as it is written in the book of Moses.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	19	And the children of the captivity kept the passover upon the fourteenth day of the first month.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	20	For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	21	And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
Ezra	Ezra	15	6	22	And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria unto them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	1	Now after these things, in the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, Ezra the son of Seraiah, the son of Azariah, the son of Hilkiah,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	2	The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	3	The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	4	The son of Zerahiah, the son of Uzzi, the son of Bukki,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	5	The son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest:
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	6	This Ezra went up from Babylon; and he was a ready scribe in the law of Moses, which the LORD God of Israel had given: and the king granted him all his request, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	7	And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	8	And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, which was in the seventh year of the king.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	9	For upon the first day of the first month began he to go up from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month came he to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	10	For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	11	Now this is the copy of the letter that the king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the priest, the scribe, even a scribe of the words of the commandments of the LORD, and of his statutes to Israel.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	12	Artaxerxes, king of kings, unto Ezra the priest, a scribe of the law of the God of heaven, perfect peace, and at such a time.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	13	I make a decree, that all they of the people of Israel, and of his priests and Levites, in my realm, which are minded of their own freewill to go up to Jerusalem, go with thee.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	14	Forasmuch as thou art sent of the king, and of his seven counsellors, to enquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, according to the law of thy God which is in thine hand;
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	15	And to carry the silver and gold, which the king and his counsellors have freely offered unto the God of Israel, whose habitation is in Jerusalem,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	16	And all the silver and gold that thou canst find in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offering of the people, and of the priests, offering willingly for the house of their God which is in Jerusalem:
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	17	That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	18	And whatsoever shall seem good to thee, and to thy brethren, to do with the rest of the silver and the gold, that do after the will of your God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	19	The vessels also that are given thee for the service of the house of thy God, those deliver thou before the God of Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	20	And whatsoever more shall be needful for the house of thy God, which thou shalt have occasion to bestow, bestow it out of the king's treasure house.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	21	And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily,
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	22	Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	23	Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	24	Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	25	And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	26	And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	27	Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king's heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem:
Ezra	Ezra	15	7	28	And hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king's mighty princes. And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me, and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	1	These are now the chief of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of them that went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	2	Of the sons of Phinehas; Gershom: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Hattush.

Ezra	Ezra	15	8	14	Of the sons also of Bigvai; Uthai, and Zabbud, and with them seventy males.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	15	And I gathered them together to the river that runneth to Ahava; and there abode we in tents three days: and I viewed the people, and the priests, and found there none of the sons of Levi.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	16	Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	17	And I sent them with commandment unto Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and I told them what they should say unto Iddo, and to his brethren the Nethinims, at the place Casiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	18	And by the good hand of our God upon us they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel; and Sherebiah, with his sons and his brethren, eighteen;
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	19	And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brethren and their sons, twenty;
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	20	Also of the Nethinims, whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinims: all of them were expressed by name.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	21	Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	22	For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	23	So we fasted and besought our God for this: and he was intreated of us.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	24	Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	25	And weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering of the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his lords, and all Israel there present, had offered:
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	26	I even weighed unto their hand six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels an hundred talents, and of gold an hundred talents;
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	27	Also twenty basons of gold, of a thousand drams; and two vessels of fine copper, precious as gold.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	28	And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the LORD; the vessels are holy also; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the LORD God of your fathers.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	29	Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites, and chief of the fathers of Israel, at Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of the LORD.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	30	So took the priests and the Levites the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring them to Jerusalem unto the house of our God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	31	Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and he delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	32	And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	33	Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	34	By number and by weight of every one: and all the weight was written at that time.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	35	Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Ezra	Ezra	15	8	36	And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	1	Now when these things were done, the princes came to me, saying, The people of Israel, and the priests, and the Levites, have not separated themselves from the people of the lands, doing according to their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	2	For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	3	And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat down astonied.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	4	Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	5	And at the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	6	And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	7	Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to a spoil, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	8	And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	9	For we were bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	10	And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	11	Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	12	Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	13	And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this;
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	14	Should we again break thy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?
Ezra	Ezra	15	9	15	O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	1	Now when Ezra had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children: for the people wept very sore.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	2	And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	3	Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	4	Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	5	Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	6	Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliashib: and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	7	And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem;
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	8	And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	9	Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	10	And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed, and have taken strange wives, to increase the trespass of Israel.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	11	Now therefore make confession unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	12	Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	13	But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two: for we are many that have transgressed in this thing.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	14	Let now our rulers of all the congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of our God for this matter be turned from us.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	15	Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah were employed about this matter: and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	16	And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to examine the matter.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	17	And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	18	And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	19	And they gave their hands that they would put away their wives; and being guilty, they offered a ram of the flock for their trespass.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	20	And of the sons of Immer; Hanani, and Zebadiah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	21	And of the sons of Harim; Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, and Jehiel, and Uzziah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	22	And of the sons of Pashur; Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethaneel, Jozabad, and Elasah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	23	Also of the Levites; Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah, (the same is Kelita,) Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	24	Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	25	Moreover of Israel: of the sons of Parosh; Ramiah, and Jeziah, and Malchiah, and Miamin, and Eleazar, and Malchijah, and Benaiah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	26	And of the sons of Elam; Mattaniah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, and Abdi, and Jeremoth, and Eliah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	27	And of the sons of Zattu; Elioenai, Eliashib, Mattaniah, and Jeremoth, and Zabad, and Aziza.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	28	Of the sons also of Bebai; Jehohanan, Hananiah, Zabbai, and Athlai.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	29	And of the sons of Bani; Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub, and Sheal, and Ramoth.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	30	And of the sons of Pahathmoab; Adna, and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezaleel, and Binnui, and Manasseh.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	31	And of the sons of Harim; Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchiah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	32	Benjamin, Malluch, and Shemariah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	33	Of the sons of Hashum; Mattenai, Mattathah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, and Shimei.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	34	Of the sons of Bani; Maadai, Amram, and Uel,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	35	Benaiah, Bedeiah, Chelluh,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	36	Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	37	Mattaniah, Mattenai, and Jaasau,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	38	And Bani, and Binnui, Shimei,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	39	And Shelemiah, and Nathan, and Adaiah,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	40	Machnadebai, Shashai, Sharai,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	41	Azareel, and Shelemiah, Shemariah,
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	42	Shallum, Amariah, and Joseph.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	43	Of the sons of Nebo; Jeiel, Mattithiah, Zabad, Zebina, Jadau, and Joel, Benaiah.
Ezra	Ezra	15	10	44	All these had taken strange wives: and some of them had wives by whom they had children.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	1	The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	2	That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	3	And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	4	And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	5	And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	6	Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	7	We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	8	Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	9	But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	10	Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	1	11	O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	1	And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	2	Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	3	And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	4	Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	5	And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	6	And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	7	Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	8	And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	9	Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	10	When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	11	So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	12	And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there any beast with me, save the beast that I rode upon.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	13	And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	14	Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	15	Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	16	And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	17	Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	18	Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	19	But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	2	20	Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	1	Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests, and they builded the sheep gate; they sanctified it, and set up the doors of it; even unto the tower of Meah they sanctified it, unto the tower of Hananeel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	2	And next unto him builded the men of Jericho. And next to them builded Zaccur the son of Imri.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	3	But the fish gate did the sons of Hassenaah build, who also laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	4	And next unto them repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah, the son of Koz. And next unto them repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabeel. And next unto them repaired Zadok the son of Baana.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	5	And next unto them the Tekoites repaired; but their nobles put not their necks to the work of their LORD.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	6	Moreover the old gate repaired Jehoiada the son of Paseah, and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah; they laid the beams thereof, and set up the doors thereof, and the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	7	And next unto them repaired Melatiah the Gibeonite, and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon, and of Mizpah, unto the throne of the governor on this side the river.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	8	Next unto him repaired Uzziel the son of Harhaiah, of the goldsmiths. Next unto him also repaired Hananiah the son of one of the apothecaries, and they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	9	And next unto them repaired Rephaiah the son of Hur, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	10	And next unto them repaired Jedaiah the son of Harumaph, even over against his house. And next unto him repaired Hattush the son of Hashabniah.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	11	Malchijah the son of Harim, and Hashub the son of Pahathmoab, repaired the other piece, and the tower of the furnaces.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	12	And next unto him repaired Shallum the son of Halohesh, the ruler of the half part of Jerusalem, he and his daughters.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	13	The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall unto the dung gate.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	14	But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	15	But the gate of the fountain repaired Shallun the son of Colhozeh, the ruler of part of Mizpah; he built it, and covered it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and the wall of the pool of Siloah by the king's garden, and unto the stairs that go down from the city of David.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	16	After him repaired Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, the ruler of the half part of Bethzur, unto the place over against the sepulchres of David, and to the pool that was made, and unto the house of the mighty.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	17	After him repaired the Levites, Rehum the son of Bani. Next unto him repaired Hashabiah, the ruler of the half part of Keilah, in his part.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	18	After him repaired their brethren, Bavai the son of Henadad, the ruler of the half part of Keilah.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	19	And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	20	After him Baruch the son of Zabbai earnestly repaired the other piece, from the turning of the wall unto the door of the house of Eliashib the high priest.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	21	After him repaired Meremoth the son of Urijah the son of Koz another piece, from the door of the house of Eliashib even to the end of the house of Eliashib.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	22	And after him repaired the priests, the men of the plain.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	23	After him repaired Benjamin and Hashub over against their house. After him repaired Azariah the son of Maaseiah the son of Ananiah by his house.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	24	After him repaired Binnui the son of Henadad another piece, from the house of Azariah unto the turning of the wall, even unto the corner.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	25	Palal the son of Uzai, over against the turning of the wall, and the tower which lieth out from the king's high house, that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	26	Moreover the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel, unto the place over against the water gate toward the east, and the tower that lieth out.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	27	After them the Tekoites repaired another piece, over against the great tower that lieth out, even unto the wall of Ophel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	28	From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	29	After them repaired Zadok the son of Immer over against his house. After him repaired also Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the east gate.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	30	After him repaired Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, another piece. After him repaired Meshullam the son of Berechiah over against his chamber.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	31	After him repaired Malchiah the goldsmith's son unto the place of the Nethinims, and of the merchants, over against the gate Miphkad, and to the going up of the corner.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	3	32	And between the going up of the corner unto the sheep gate repaired the goldsmiths and the merchants.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	1	But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	2	And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	3	Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	4	Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	5	And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	6	So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	7	But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	8	And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	9	Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	10	And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	11	And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	12	And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	13	Therefore set I in the lower places behind the wall, and on the higher places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	14	And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the LORD, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	15	And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	16	And it came to pass from that time forth, that the half of my servants wrought in the work, and the other half of them held both the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the habergeons; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	17	They which builded on the wall, and they that bare burdens, with those that laded, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	18	For the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	19	And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	20	In what place therefore ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us: our God shall fight for us.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	21	So we laboured in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	22	Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	4	23	So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, saving that every one put them off for washing.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	1	And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	2	For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	3	Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	4	There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	5	Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	6	And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	7	Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	8	And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	9	Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	10	I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	11	Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	12	Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	13	Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	14	Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	15	But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	16	Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	17	Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	18	Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	5	19	Think upon me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	1	Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein; (though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	2	That Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in some one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	3	And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	4	Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort; and I answered them after the same manner.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	5	Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	6	Wherein was written, It is reported among the heathen, and Gashmu saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause thou buildest the wall, that thou mayest be their king, according to these words.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	7	And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	8	Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	9	For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	10	Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	11	And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	12	And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	13	Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	14	My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	15	So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	16	And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us saw these things, they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	17	Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	18	For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son in law of Shechaniah the son of Arah; and his son Johanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	6	19	Also they reported his good deeds before me, and uttered my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	1	Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	2	That I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the ruler of the palace, charge over Jerusalem: for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	3	And I said unto them, Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand by, let them shut the doors, and bar them: and appoint watches of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	4	Now the city was large and great: but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	5	And my God put into mine heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of them which came up at the first, and found written therein,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	6	These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity, of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and came again to Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	7	Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;

Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	48	The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Shalmai,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	49	The children of Hanan, the children of Giddel, the children of Gahar,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	50	The children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda,

Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	60	All the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	61	And these were they which went up also from Telmelah, Telharesha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer: but they could not shew their father's house, nor their seed, whether they were of Israel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	62	The children of Delaiah, the children of Tobiah, the children of Nekoda, six hundred forty and two.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	63	And of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Koz, the children of Barzillai, which took one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite to wife, and was called after their name.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	64	These sought their register among those that were reckoned by genealogy, but it was not found: therefore were they, as polluted, put from the priesthood.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	65	And the Tirshatha said unto them, that they should not eat of the most holy things, till there stood up a priest with Urim and Thummim.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	66	The whole congregation together was forty and two thousand three hundred and threescore,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	67	Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	68	Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	69	Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	70	And some of the chief of the fathers gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasure a thousand drams of gold, fifty basons, five hundred and thirty priests' garments.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	71	And some of the chief of the fathers gave to the treasure of the work twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pound of silver.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	72	And that which the rest of the people gave was twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pound of silver, and threescore and seven priests' garments.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	7	73	So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	1	And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	2	And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	3	And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	4	And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah, on his right hand; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	5	And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	6	And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	7	Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	8	So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	9	And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the LORD your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	10	Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our LORD: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	11	So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	12	And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	13	And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	14	And they found written in the law which the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	15	And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	16	So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths, every one upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of Ephraim.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	17	And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	8	18	Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	1	Now in the twenty and fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackclothes, and earth upon them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	2	And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	3	And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and worshipped the LORD their God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	4	Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	5	Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	6	Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	7	Thou art the LORD the God, who didst choose Abram, and broughtest him forth out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gavest him the name of Abraham;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	8	And foundest his heart faithful before thee, and madest a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites, and the Girgashites, to give it, I say, to his seed, and hast performed thy words; for thou art righteous:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	9	And didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Red sea;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	10	And shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them. So didst thou get thee a name, as it is this day.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	11	And thou didst divide the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and their persecutors thou threwest into the deeps, as a stone into the mighty waters.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	12	Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	13	Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	14	And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	15	And gavest them bread from heaven for their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and promisedst them that they should go in to possess the land which thou hadst sworn to give them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	16	But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	17	And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	18	Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy God that brought thee up out of Egypt, and had wrought great provocations;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	19	Yet thou in thy manifold mercies forsookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	20	Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them, and withheldest not thy manna from their mouth, and gavest them water for their thirst.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	21	Yea, forty years didst thou sustain them in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; their clothes waxed not old, and their feet swelled not.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	22	Moreover thou gavest them kingdoms and nations, and didst divide them into corners: so they possessed the land of Sihon, and the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	23	Their children also multipliedst thou as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them into the land, concerning which thou hadst promised to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	24	So the children went in and possessed the land, and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as they would.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	25	And they took strong cities, and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods, wells digged, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: so they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and delighted themselves in thy great goodness.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	26	Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	27	Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their enemies, who vexed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours, who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	28	But after they had rest, they did evil again before thee: therefore leftest thou them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them: yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from heaven; and many times didst thou deliver them according to thy mercies;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	29	And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	30	Yet many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: yet would they not give ear: therefore gavest thou them into the hand of the people of the lands.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	31	Nevertheless for thy great mercies' sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	32	Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	33	Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	34	Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	35	For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	36	Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, behold, we are servants in it:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	37	And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	9	38	And because of all this we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, Levites, and priests, seal unto it.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	1	Now those that sealed were, Nehemiah, the Tirshatha, the son of Hachaliah, and Zidkijah,

Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	27	Malluch, Harim, Baanah.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	28	And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	29	They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God's law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	30	And that we would not give our daughters unto the people of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	31	And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the sabbath, or on the holy day: and that we would leave the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	32	Also we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	33	For the shewbread, and for the continual meat offering, and for the continual burnt offering, of the sabbaths, of the new moons, for the set feasts, and for the holy things, and for the sin offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	34	And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood offering, to bring it into the house of our God, after the houses of our fathers, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as it is written in the law:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	35	And to bring the firstfruits of our ground, and the firstfruits of all fruit of all trees, year by year, unto the house of the LORD:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	36	Also the firstborn of our sons, and of our cattle, as it is written in the law, and the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks, to bring to the house of our God, unto the priests that minister in the house of our God:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	37	And that we should bring the firstfruits of our dough, and our offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, of wine and of oil, unto the priests, to the chambers of the house of our God; and the tithes of our ground unto the Levites, that the same Levites might have the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	38	And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes: and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes unto the house of our God, to the chambers, into the treasure house.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	10	39	For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	1	And the rulers of the people dwelt at Jerusalem: the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts to dwell in other cities.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	2	And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	3	Now these are the chief of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem: but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinims, and the children of Solomon's servants.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	4	And at Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah; Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalaleel, of the children of Perez;

Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	13	And his brethren, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	14	And their brethren, mighty men of valour, an hundred twenty and eight: and their overseer was Zabdiel, the son of one of the great men.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	15	Also of the Levites: Shemaiah the son of Hashub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	16	And Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chief of the Levites, had the oversight of the outward business of the house of God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	17	And Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the principal to begin the thanksgiving in prayer: and Bakbukiah the second among his brethren, and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	18	All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	19	Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren that kept the gates, were an hundred seventy and two.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	20	And the residue of Israel, of the priests, and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	21	But the Nethinims dwelt in Ophel: and Ziha and Gispa were over the Nethinims.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	22	The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	23	For it was the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	24	And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabeel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	25	And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt at Kirjatharba, and in the villages thereof, and at Dibon, and in the villages thereof, and at Jekabzeel, and in the villages thereof,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	26	And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	27	And at Hazarshual, and at Beersheba, and in the villages thereof,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	28	And at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	29	And at Enrimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	30	Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and in the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Beersheba unto the valley of Hinnom.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	31	The children also of Benjamin from Geba dwelt at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel, and in their villages,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	32	And at Anathoth, Nob, Ananiah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	33	Hazor, Ramah, Gittaim,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	34	Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	35	Lod, and Ono, the valley of craftsmen.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	11	36	And of the Levites were divisions in Judah, and in Benjamin.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	1	Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	2	Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	3	Shechaniah, Rehum, Meremoth,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	4	Iddo, Ginnetho, Abijah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	5	Miamin, Maadiah, Bilgah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	6	Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	7	Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	8	Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	9	Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, were over against them in the watches.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	10	And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	11	And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	12	And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the chief of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	13	Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	14	Of Melicu, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	15	Of Harim, Adna; of Meraioth, Helkai;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	16	Of Iddo, Zechariah; of Ginnethon, Meshullam;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	17	Of Abijah, Zichri; of Miniamin, of Moadiah, Piltai;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	18	Of Bilgah, Shammua; of Shemaiah, Jehonathan;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	19	And of Joiarib, Mattenai; of Jedaiah, Uzzi;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	20	Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	21	Of Hilkiah, Hashabiah; of Jedaiah, Nethaneel.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	22	The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded chief of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	23	The sons of Levi, the chief of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even until the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	24	And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	25	Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the ward at the thresholds of the gates.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	26	These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	27	And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	28	And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	29	Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	30	And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	31	Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	32	And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	33	And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	34	Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	35	And certain of the priests' sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	36	And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	37	And at the fountain gate, which was over against them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the going up of the wall, above the house of David, even unto the water gate eastward.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	38	And the other company of them that gave thanks went over against them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even unto the broad wall;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	39	And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	40	So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	41	And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	42	And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	43	Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	44	And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	45	And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	46	For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	12	47	And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	1	On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	2	Because they met not the children of Israel with bread and with water, but hired Balaam against them, that he should curse them: howbeit our God turned the curse into a blessing.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	3	Now it came to pass, when they had heard the law, that they separated from Israel all the mixed multitude.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	4	And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God, was allied unto Tobiah:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	5	And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	6	But in all this time was not I at Jerusalem: for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon came I unto the king, and after certain days obtained I leave of the king:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	7	And I came to Jerusalem, and understood of the evil that Eliashib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	8	And it grieved me sore: therefore I cast forth all the household stuff of Tobiah out of the chamber.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	9	Then I commanded, and they cleansed the chambers: and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, with the meat offering and the frankincense.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	10	And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	11	Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	12	Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn and the new wine and the oil unto the treasuries.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	13	And I made treasurers over the treasuries, Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	14	Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the offices thereof.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	15	In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I testified against them in the day wherein they sold victuals.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	16	There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	17	Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the sabbath day?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	18	Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	19	And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	20	So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	21	Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	22	And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy mercy.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	23	In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	24	And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	25	And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	26	Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	27	Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	28	And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	29	Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites.
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	30	Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and appointed the wards of the priests and the Levites, every one in his business;
Nehemiah	Neh	16	13	31	And for the wood offering, at times appointed, and for the firstfruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
Esther	Est	17	1	1	Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus, (this is Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)
Esther	Est	17	1	2	That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
Esther	Est	17	1	3	In the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him:
Esther	Est	17	1	4	When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days, even an hundred and fourscore days.
Esther	Est	17	1	5	And when these days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;
Esther	Est	17	1	6	Where were white, green, and blue, hangings, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black, marble.
Esther	Est	17	1	7	And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, (the vessels being diverse one from another,) and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king.
Esther	Est	17	1	8	And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.
Esther	Est	17	1	9	Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Esther	Est	17	1	10	On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
Esther	Est	17	1	11	To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look on.
Esther	Est	17	1	12	But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
Esther	Est	17	1	13	Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times, (for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:
Esther	Est	17	1	14	And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king's face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)
Esther	Est	17	1	15	What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?
Esther	Est	17	1	16	And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.
Esther	Est	17	1	17	For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported, The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.
Esther	Est	17	1	18	Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto all the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath.
Esther	Est	17	1	19	If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.
Esther	Est	17	1	20	And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire, (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.
Esther	Est	17	1	21	And the saying pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Esther	Est	17	1	22	For he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
Esther	Est	17	2	1	After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
Esther	Est	17	2	2	Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
Esther	Est	17	2	3	And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
Esther	Est	17	2	4	And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
Esther	Est	17	2	5	Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
Esther	Est	17	2	6	Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
Esther	Est	17	2	7	And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
Esther	Est	17	2	8	So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
Esther	Est	17	2	9	And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
Esther	Est	17	2	10	Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.
Esther	Est	17	2	11	And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
Esther	Est	17	2	12	Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
Esther	Est	17	2	13	Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
Esther	Est	17	2	14	In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
Esther	Est	17	2	15	Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
Esther	Est	17	2	16	So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
Esther	Est	17	2	17	And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
Esther	Est	17	2	18	Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
Esther	Est	17	2	19	And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.
Esther	Est	17	2	20	Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
Esther	Est	17	2	21	In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Esther	Est	17	2	22	And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
Esther	Est	17	2	23	And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
Esther	Est	17	3	1	After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.
Esther	Est	17	3	2	And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
Esther	Est	17	3	3	Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?
Esther	Est	17	3	4	Now it came to pass, when they spake daily unto him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand: for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Esther	Est	17	3	5	And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
Esther	Est	17	3	6	And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.
Esther	Est	17	3	7	In the first month, that is, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar.
Esther	Est	17	3	8	And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them.
Esther	Est	17	3	9	If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.
Esther	Est	17	3	10	And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.
Esther	Est	17	3	11	And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.
Esther	Est	17	3	12	Then were the king's scribes called on the thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written according to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the rulers of every people of every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.
Esther	Est	17	3	13	And the letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.
Esther	Est	17	3	14	The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, that they should be ready against that day.
Esther	Est	17	3	15	The posts went out, being hastened by the king's commandment, and the decree was given in Shushan the palace. And the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city Shushan was perplexed.
Esther	Est	17	4	1	When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;
Esther	Est	17	4	2	And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.
Esther	Est	17	4	3	And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.
Esther	Est	17	4	4	So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him: but he received it not.
Esther	Est	17	4	5	Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was.
Esther	Est	17	4	6	So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate.
Esther	Est	17	4	7	And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.
Esther	Est	17	4	8	Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people.
Esther	Est	17	4	9	And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai.
Esther	Est	17	4	10	Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him commandment unto Mordecai;
Esther	Est	17	4	11	All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
Esther	Est	17	4	12	And they told to Mordecai Esther's words.
Esther	Est	17	4	13	Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.
Esther	Est	17	4	14	For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
Esther	Est	17	4	15	Then Esther bade them return Mordecai this answer,
Esther	Est	17	4	16	Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Esther	Est	17	4	17	So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.
Esther	Est	17	5	1	Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.
Esther	Est	17	5	2	And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.
Esther	Est	17	5	3	Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.
Esther	Est	17	5	4	And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
Esther	Est	17	5	5	Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Esther	Est	17	5	6	And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.
Esther	Est	17	5	7	Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;
Esther	Est	17	5	8	If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.
Esther	Est	17	5	9	Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.
Esther	Est	17	5	10	Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.
Esther	Est	17	5	11	And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
Esther	Est	17	5	12	Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.
Esther	Est	17	5	13	Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.
Esther	Est	17	5	14	Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
Esther	Est	17	6	1	On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
Esther	Est	17	6	2	And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Esther	Est	17	6	3	And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
Esther	Est	17	6	4	And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.
Esther	Est	17	6	5	And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
Esther	Est	17	6	6	So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
Esther	Est	17	6	7	And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
Esther	Est	17	6	8	Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:
Esther	Est	17	6	9	And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Esther	Est	17	6	10	Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.
Esther	Est	17	6	11	Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
Esther	Est	17	6	12	And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
Esther	Est	17	6	13	And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
Esther	Est	17	6	14	And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.
Esther	Est	17	7	1	So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.
Esther	Est	17	7	2	And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom.
Esther	Est	17	7	3	Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
Esther	Est	17	7	4	For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.
Esther	Est	17	7	5	Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
Esther	Est	17	7	6	And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
Esther	Est	17	7	7	And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.
Esther	Est	17	7	8	Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Esther	Est	17	7	9	And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.
Esther	Est	17	7	10	So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Esther	Est	17	8	1	On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.
Esther	Est	17	8	2	And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
Esther	Est	17	8	3	And Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
Esther	Est	17	8	4	Then the king held out the golden sceptre toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
Esther	Est	17	8	5	And said, If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king's provinces:
Esther	Est	17	8	6	For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
Esther	Est	17	8	7	Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Esther	Est	17	8	8	Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.
Esther	Est	17	8	9	Then were the king's scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India unto Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, unto every province according to the writing thereof, and unto every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
Esther	Est	17	8	10	And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus' name, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
Esther	Est	17	8	11	Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
Esther	Est	17	8	12	Upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Esther	Est	17	8	13	The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Esther	Est	17	8	14	So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
Esther	Est	17	8	15	And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
Esther	Est	17	8	16	The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
Esther	Est	17	8	17	And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Esther	Est	17	9	1	Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king's commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
Esther	Est	17	9	2	The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell upon all people.
Esther	Est	17	9	3	And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell upon them.
Esther	Est	17	9	4	For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
Esther	Est	17	9	5	Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would unto those that hated them.
Esther	Est	17	9	6	And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
Esther	Est	17	9	7	And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
Esther	Est	17	9	8	And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
Esther	Est	17	9	9	And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
Esther	Est	17	9	10	The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
Esther	Est	17	9	11	On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
Esther	Est	17	9	12	And the king said unto Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king's provinces? now what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: or what is thy request further? and it shall be done.
Esther	Est	17	9	13	Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.
Esther	Est	17	9	14	And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.
Esther	Est	17	9	15	For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
Esther	Est	17	9	16	But the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
Esther	Est	17	9	17	On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Esther	Est	17	9	18	But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
Esther	Est	17	9	19	Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelt in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
Esther	Est	17	9	20	And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,
Esther	Est	17	9	21	To stablish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
Esther	Est	17	9	22	As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
Esther	Est	17	9	23	And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written unto them;
Esther	Est	17	9	24	Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
Esther	Est	17	9	25	But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
Esther	Est	17	9	26	Wherefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come unto them,
Esther	Est	17	9	27	The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves unto them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
Esther	Est	17	9	28	And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
Esther	Est	17	9	29	Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
Esther	Est	17	9	30	And he sent the letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
Esther	Est	17	9	31	To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
Esther	Est	17	9	32	And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.
Esther	Est	17	10	1	And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.
Esther	Est	17	10	2	And all the acts of his power and of his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, whereunto the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia?
Esther	Est	17	10	3	For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking peace to all his seed.
Job	Job	18	1	1	There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Job	Job	18	1	2	And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
Job	Job	18	1	3	His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
Job	Job	18	1	4	And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Job	Job	18	1	5	And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job	Job	18	1	6	Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job	Job	18	1	7	And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job	Job	18	1	8	And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Job	Job	18	1	9	Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Job	Job	18	1	10	Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job	Job	18	1	11	But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job	Job	18	1	12	And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Job	Job	18	1	13	And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Job	Job	18	1	14	And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
Job	Job	18	1	15	And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job	Job	18	1	16	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job	Job	18	1	17	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job	Job	18	1	18	While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
Job	Job	18	1	19	And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job	Job	18	1	20	Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
Job	Job	18	1	21	And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Job	Job	18	1	22	In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job	Job	18	2	1	Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job	Job	18	2	2	And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job	Job	18	2	3	And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
Job	Job	18	2	4	And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
Job	Job	18	2	5	But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job	Job	18	2	6	And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
Job	Job	18	2	7	So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Job	Job	18	2	8	And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
Job	Job	18	2	9	Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Job	Job	18	2	10	But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Job	Job	18	2	11	Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
Job	Job	18	2	12	And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
Job	Job	18	2	13	So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
Job	Job	18	3	1	After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job	Job	18	3	2	And Job spake, and said,
Job	Job	18	3	3	Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
Job	Job	18	3	4	Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
Job	Job	18	3	5	Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
Job	Job	18	3	6	As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
Job	Job	18	3	7	Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
Job	Job	18	3	8	Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
Job	Job	18	3	9	Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
Job	Job	18	3	10	Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
Job	Job	18	3	11	Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
Job	Job	18	3	12	Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
Job	Job	18	3	13	For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
Job	Job	18	3	14	With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
Job	Job	18	3	15	Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
Job	Job	18	3	16	Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
Job	Job	18	3	17	There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
Job	Job	18	3	18	There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
Job	Job	18	3	19	The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
Job	Job	18	3	20	Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
Job	Job	18	3	21	Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
Job	Job	18	3	22	Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
Job	Job	18	3	23	Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
Job	Job	18	3	24	For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Job	Job	18	3	25	For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job	Job	18	3	26	I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
Job	Job	18	4	1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Job	Job	18	4	2	If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
Job	Job	18	4	3	Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
Job	Job	18	4	4	Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
Job	Job	18	4	5	But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
Job	Job	18	4	6	Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
Job	Job	18	4	7	Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
Job	Job	18	4	8	Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
Job	Job	18	4	9	By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Job	Job	18	4	10	The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
Job	Job	18	4	11	The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
Job	Job	18	4	12	Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
Job	Job	18	4	13	In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
Job	Job	18	4	14	Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
Job	Job	18	4	15	Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
Job	Job	18	4	16	It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
Job	Job	18	4	17	Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Job	Job	18	4	18	Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
Job	Job	18	4	19	How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
Job	Job	18	4	20	They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
Job	Job	18	4	21	Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
Job	Job	18	5	1	Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
Job	Job	18	5	2	For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
Job	Job	18	5	3	I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job	Job	18	5	4	His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
Job	Job	18	5	5	Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
Job	Job	18	5	6	Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
Job	Job	18	5	7	Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
Job	Job	18	5	8	I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
Job	Job	18	5	9	Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
Job	Job	18	5	10	Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
Job	Job	18	5	11	To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
Job	Job	18	5	12	He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Job	Job	18	5	13	He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
Job	Job	18	5	14	They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
Job	Job	18	5	15	But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Job	Job	18	5	16	So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
Job	Job	18	5	17	Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
Job	Job	18	5	18	For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Job	Job	18	5	19	He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
Job	Job	18	5	20	In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
Job	Job	18	5	21	Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
Job	Job	18	5	22	At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Job	Job	18	5	23	For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Job	Job	18	5	24	And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
Job	Job	18	5	25	Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
Job	Job	18	5	26	Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
Job	Job	18	5	27	Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
Job	Job	18	6	1	But Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	6	2	Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
Job	Job	18	6	3	For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
Job	Job	18	6	4	For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
Job	Job	18	6	5	Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
Job	Job	18	6	6	Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Job	Job	18	6	7	The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
Job	Job	18	6	8	Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
Job	Job	18	6	9	Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
Job	Job	18	6	10	Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
Job	Job	18	6	11	What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
Job	Job	18	6	12	Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
Job	Job	18	6	13	Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
Job	Job	18	6	14	To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Job	Job	18	6	15	My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
Job	Job	18	6	16	Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
Job	Job	18	6	17	What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Job	Job	18	6	18	The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
Job	Job	18	6	19	The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
Job	Job	18	6	20	They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
Job	Job	18	6	21	For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
Job	Job	18	6	22	Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
Job	Job	18	6	23	Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
Job	Job	18	6	24	Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Job	Job	18	6	25	How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
Job	Job	18	6	26	Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
Job	Job	18	6	27	Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
Job	Job	18	6	28	Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
Job	Job	18	6	29	Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
Job	Job	18	6	30	Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
Job	Job	18	7	1	Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
Job	Job	18	7	2	As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
Job	Job	18	7	3	So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Job	Job	18	7	4	When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
Job	Job	18	7	5	My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
Job	Job	18	7	6	My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Job	Job	18	7	7	O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
Job	Job	18	7	8	The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
Job	Job	18	7	9	As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
Job	Job	18	7	10	He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
Job	Job	18	7	11	Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job	Job	18	7	12	Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
Job	Job	18	7	13	When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
Job	Job	18	7	14	Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
Job	Job	18	7	15	So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
Job	Job	18	7	16	I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
Job	Job	18	7	17	What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
Job	Job	18	7	18	And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
Job	Job	18	7	19	How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
Job	Job	18	7	20	I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
Job	Job	18	7	21	And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job	Job	18	8	1	Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job	Job	18	8	2	How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
Job	Job	18	8	3	Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
Job	Job	18	8	4	If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
Job	Job	18	8	5	If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
Job	Job	18	8	6	If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
Job	Job	18	8	7	Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Job	Job	18	8	8	For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
Job	Job	18	8	9	(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
Job	Job	18	8	10	Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
Job	Job	18	8	11	Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
Job	Job	18	8	12	Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
Job	Job	18	8	13	So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Job	Job	18	8	14	Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
Job	Job	18	8	15	He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Job	Job	18	8	16	He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
Job	Job	18	8	17	His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
Job	Job	18	8	18	If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
Job	Job	18	8	19	Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Job	Job	18	8	20	Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
Job	Job	18	8	21	Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
Job	Job	18	8	22	They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
Job	Job	18	9	1	Then Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	9	2	I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
Job	Job	18	9	3	If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Job	Job	18	9	4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
Job	Job	18	9	5	Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
Job	Job	18	9	6	Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Job	Job	18	9	7	Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
Job	Job	18	9	8	Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
Job	Job	18	9	9	Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job	Job	18	9	10	Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
Job	Job	18	9	11	Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
Job	Job	18	9	12	Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
Job	Job	18	9	13	If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Job	Job	18	9	14	How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
Job	Job	18	9	15	Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
Job	Job	18	9	16	If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
Job	Job	18	9	17	For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job	Job	18	9	18	He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
Job	Job	18	9	19	If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
Job	Job	18	9	20	If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Job	Job	18	9	21	Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Job	Job	18	9	22	This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Job	Job	18	9	23	If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
Job	Job	18	9	24	The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
Job	Job	18	9	25	Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
Job	Job	18	9	26	They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
Job	Job	18	9	27	If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
Job	Job	18	9	28	I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
Job	Job	18	9	29	If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
Job	Job	18	9	30	If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
Job	Job	18	9	31	Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Job	Job	18	9	32	For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
Job	Job	18	9	33	Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
Job	Job	18	9	34	Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
Job	Job	18	9	35	Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
Job	Job	18	10	1	My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job	Job	18	10	2	I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Job	Job	18	10	3	Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Job	Job	18	10	4	Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Job	Job	18	10	5	Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
Job	Job	18	10	6	That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
Job	Job	18	10	7	Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
Job	Job	18	10	8	Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
Job	Job	18	10	9	Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Job	Job	18	10	10	Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Job	Job	18	10	11	Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
Job	Job	18	10	12	Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Job	Job	18	10	13	And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
Job	Job	18	10	14	If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
Job	Job	18	10	15	If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
Job	Job	18	10	16	For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
Job	Job	18	10	17	Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
Job	Job	18	10	18	Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
Job	Job	18	10	19	I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job	Job	18	10	20	Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Job	Job	18	10	21	Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
Job	Job	18	10	22	A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Job	Job	18	11	1	Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job	Job	18	11	2	Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
Job	Job	18	11	3	Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
Job	Job	18	11	4	For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Job	Job	18	11	5	But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
Job	Job	18	11	6	And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
Job	Job	18	11	7	Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
Job	Job	18	11	8	It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
Job	Job	18	11	9	The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
Job	Job	18	11	10	If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
Job	Job	18	11	11	For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
Job	Job	18	11	12	For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
Job	Job	18	11	13	If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
Job	Job	18	11	14	If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
Job	Job	18	11	15	For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
Job	Job	18	11	16	Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
Job	Job	18	11	17	And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
Job	Job	18	11	18	And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Job	Job	18	11	19	Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
Job	Job	18	11	20	But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Job	Job	18	12	1	And Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	12	2	No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
Job	Job	18	12	3	But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
Job	Job	18	12	4	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
Job	Job	18	12	5	He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
Job	Job	18	12	6	The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
Job	Job	18	12	7	But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Job	Job	18	12	8	Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Job	Job	18	12	9	Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
Job	Job	18	12	10	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Job	Job	18	12	11	Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
Job	Job	18	12	12	With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
Job	Job	18	12	13	With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
Job	Job	18	12	14	Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
Job	Job	18	12	15	Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
Job	Job	18	12	16	With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
Job	Job	18	12	17	He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
Job	Job	18	12	18	He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
Job	Job	18	12	19	He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
Job	Job	18	12	20	He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
Job	Job	18	12	21	He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
Job	Job	18	12	22	He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
Job	Job	18	12	23	He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
Job	Job	18	12	24	He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
Job	Job	18	12	25	They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
Job	Job	18	13	1	Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
Job	Job	18	13	2	What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
Job	Job	18	13	3	Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
Job	Job	18	13	4	But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
Job	Job	18	13	5	O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
Job	Job	18	13	6	Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Job	Job	18	13	7	Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
Job	Job	18	13	8	Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
Job	Job	18	13	9	Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
Job	Job	18	13	10	He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
Job	Job	18	13	11	Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
Job	Job	18	13	12	Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
Job	Job	18	13	13	Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
Job	Job	18	13	14	Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
Job	Job	18	13	15	Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
Job	Job	18	13	16	He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Job	Job	18	13	17	Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
Job	Job	18	13	18	Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Job	Job	18	13	19	Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
Job	Job	18	13	20	Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
Job	Job	18	13	21	Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
Job	Job	18	13	22	Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
Job	Job	18	13	23	How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
Job	Job	18	13	24	Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
Job	Job	18	13	25	Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
Job	Job	18	13	26	For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
Job	Job	18	13	27	Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
Job	Job	18	13	28	And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
Job	Job	18	14	1	Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
Job	Job	18	14	2	He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Job	Job	18	14	3	And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
Job	Job	18	14	4	Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Job	Job	18	14	5	Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
Job	Job	18	14	6	Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
Job	Job	18	14	7	For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Job	Job	18	14	8	Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
Job	Job	18	14	9	Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
Job	Job	18	14	10	But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
Job	Job	18	14	11	As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
Job	Job	18	14	12	So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
Job	Job	18	14	13	O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
Job	Job	18	14	14	If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Job	Job	18	14	15	Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
Job	Job	18	14	16	For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
Job	Job	18	14	17	My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
Job	Job	18	14	18	And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
Job	Job	18	14	19	The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
Job	Job	18	14	20	Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
Job	Job	18	14	21	His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
Job	Job	18	14	22	But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
Job	Job	18	15	1	Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Job	Job	18	15	2	Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Job	Job	18	15	3	Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Job	Job	18	15	4	Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
Job	Job	18	15	5	For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Job	Job	18	15	6	Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
Job	Job	18	15	7	Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
Job	Job	18	15	8	Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
Job	Job	18	15	9	What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
Job	Job	18	15	10	With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
Job	Job	18	15	11	Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Job	Job	18	15	12	Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
Job	Job	18	15	13	That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
Job	Job	18	15	14	What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job	Job	18	15	15	Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
Job	Job	18	15	16	How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
Job	Job	18	15	17	I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
Job	Job	18	15	18	Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
Job	Job	18	15	19	Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
Job	Job	18	15	20	The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
Job	Job	18	15	21	A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Job	Job	18	15	22	He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
Job	Job	18	15	23	He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Job	Job	18	15	24	Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
Job	Job	18	15	25	For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
Job	Job	18	15	26	He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Job	Job	18	15	27	Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
Job	Job	18	15	28	And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
Job	Job	18	15	29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
Job	Job	18	15	30	He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Job	Job	18	15	31	Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
Job	Job	18	15	32	It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
Job	Job	18	15	33	He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Job	Job	18	15	34	For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Job	Job	18	15	35	They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
Job	Job	18	16	1	Then Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	16	2	I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Job	Job	18	16	3	Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
Job	Job	18	16	4	I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
Job	Job	18	16	5	But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
Job	Job	18	16	6	Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
Job	Job	18	16	7	But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
Job	Job	18	16	8	And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
Job	Job	18	16	9	He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
Job	Job	18	16	10	They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
Job	Job	18	16	11	God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
Job	Job	18	16	12	I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
Job	Job	18	16	13	His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
Job	Job	18	16	14	He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
Job	Job	18	16	15	I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
Job	Job	18	16	16	My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Job	Job	18	16	17	Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
Job	Job	18	16	18	O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
Job	Job	18	16	19	Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
Job	Job	18	16	20	My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
Job	Job	18	16	21	O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
Job	Job	18	16	22	When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
Job	Job	18	17	1	My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
Job	Job	18	17	2	Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
Job	Job	18	17	3	Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
Job	Job	18	17	4	For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
Job	Job	18	17	5	He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Job	Job	18	17	6	He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
Job	Job	18	17	7	Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
Job	Job	18	17	8	Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
Job	Job	18	17	9	The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Job	Job	18	17	10	But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
Job	Job	18	17	11	My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
Job	Job	18	17	12	They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
Job	Job	18	17	13	If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
Job	Job	18	17	14	I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
Job	Job	18	17	15	And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
Job	Job	18	17	16	They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
Job	Job	18	18	1	Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job	Job	18	18	2	How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
Job	Job	18	18	3	Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
Job	Job	18	18	4	He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
Job	Job	18	18	5	Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Job	Job	18	18	6	The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
Job	Job	18	18	7	The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
Job	Job	18	18	8	For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
Job	Job	18	18	9	The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
Job	Job	18	18	10	The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
Job	Job	18	18	11	Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
Job	Job	18	18	12	His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
Job	Job	18	18	13	It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
Job	Job	18	18	14	His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
Job	Job	18	18	15	It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
Job	Job	18	18	16	His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
Job	Job	18	18	17	His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
Job	Job	18	18	18	He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
Job	Job	18	18	19	He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
Job	Job	18	18	20	They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
Job	Job	18	18	21	Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Job	Job	18	19	1	Then Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	19	2	How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
Job	Job	18	19	3	These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
Job	Job	18	19	4	And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
Job	Job	18	19	5	If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
Job	Job	18	19	6	Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
Job	Job	18	19	7	Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
Job	Job	18	19	8	He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
Job	Job	18	19	9	He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
Job	Job	18	19	10	He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
Job	Job	18	19	11	He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
Job	Job	18	19	12	His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
Job	Job	18	19	13	He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
Job	Job	18	19	14	My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
Job	Job	18	19	15	They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
Job	Job	18	19	16	I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
Job	Job	18	19	17	My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
Job	Job	18	19	18	Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
Job	Job	18	19	19	All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
Job	Job	18	19	20	My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
Job	Job	18	19	21	Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
Job	Job	18	19	22	Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job	Job	18	19	23	Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
Job	Job	18	19	24	That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
Job	Job	18	19	25	For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
Job	Job	18	19	26	And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Job	Job	18	19	27	Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Job	Job	18	19	28	But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
Job	Job	18	19	29	Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
Job	Job	18	20	1	Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job	Job	18	20	2	Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
Job	Job	18	20	3	I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
Job	Job	18	20	4	Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
Job	Job	18	20	5	That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Job	Job	18	20	6	Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
Job	Job	18	20	7	Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
Job	Job	18	20	8	He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
Job	Job	18	20	9	The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
Job	Job	18	20	10	His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
Job	Job	18	20	11	His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
Job	Job	18	20	12	Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
Job	Job	18	20	13	Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
Job	Job	18	20	14	Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
Job	Job	18	20	15	He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Job	Job	18	20	16	He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
Job	Job	18	20	17	He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
Job	Job	18	20	18	That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
Job	Job	18	20	19	Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
Job	Job	18	20	20	Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
Job	Job	18	20	21	There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
Job	Job	18	20	22	In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
Job	Job	18	20	23	When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
Job	Job	18	20	24	He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
Job	Job	18	20	25	It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
Job	Job	18	20	26	All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
Job	Job	18	20	27	The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
Job	Job	18	20	28	The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Job	Job	18	20	29	This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
Job	Job	18	21	1	But Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	21	2	Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
Job	Job	18	21	3	Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
Job	Job	18	21	4	As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
Job	Job	18	21	5	Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
Job	Job	18	21	6	Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
Job	Job	18	21	7	Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
Job	Job	18	21	8	Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
Job	Job	18	21	9	Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
Job	Job	18	21	10	Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
Job	Job	18	21	11	They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
Job	Job	18	21	12	They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
Job	Job	18	21	13	They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
Job	Job	18	21	14	Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
Job	Job	18	21	15	What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Job	Job	18	21	16	Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job	Job	18	21	17	How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
Job	Job	18	21	18	They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
Job	Job	18	21	19	God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
Job	Job	18	21	20	His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Job	Job	18	21	21	For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
Job	Job	18	21	22	Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
Job	Job	18	21	23	One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
Job	Job	18	21	24	His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
Job	Job	18	21	25	And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
Job	Job	18	21	26	They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
Job	Job	18	21	27	Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
Job	Job	18	21	28	For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
Job	Job	18	21	29	Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
Job	Job	18	21	30	That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
Job	Job	18	21	31	Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
Job	Job	18	21	32	Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
Job	Job	18	21	33	The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
Job	Job	18	21	34	How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
Job	Job	18	22	1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Job	Job	18	22	2	Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
Job	Job	18	22	3	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
Job	Job	18	22	4	Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Job	Job	18	22	5	Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
Job	Job	18	22	6	For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
Job	Job	18	22	7	Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
Job	Job	18	22	8	But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
Job	Job	18	22	9	Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Job	Job	18	22	10	Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
Job	Job	18	22	11	Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
Job	Job	18	22	12	Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
Job	Job	18	22	13	And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
Job	Job	18	22	14	Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
Job	Job	18	22	15	Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
Job	Job	18	22	16	Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
Job	Job	18	22	17	Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
Job	Job	18	22	18	Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job	Job	18	22	19	The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
Job	Job	18	22	20	Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
Job	Job	18	22	21	Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Job	Job	18	22	22	Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
Job	Job	18	22	23	If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
Job	Job	18	22	24	Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
Job	Job	18	22	25	Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
Job	Job	18	22	26	For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
Job	Job	18	22	27	Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
Job	Job	18	22	28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
Job	Job	18	22	29	When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
Job	Job	18	22	30	He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
Job	Job	18	23	1	Then Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	23	2	Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Job	Job	18	23	3	Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
Job	Job	18	23	4	I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Job	Job	18	23	5	I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Job	Job	18	23	6	Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
Job	Job	18	23	7	There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Job	Job	18	23	8	Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
Job	Job	18	23	9	On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
Job	Job	18	23	10	But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job	Job	18	23	11	My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
Job	Job	18	23	12	Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
Job	Job	18	23	13	But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
Job	Job	18	23	14	For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Job	Job	18	23	15	Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
Job	Job	18	23	16	For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
Job	Job	18	23	17	Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
Job	Job	18	24	1	Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
Job	Job	18	24	2	Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
Job	Job	18	24	3	They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
Job	Job	18	24	4	They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
Job	Job	18	24	5	Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
Job	Job	18	24	6	They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
Job	Job	18	24	7	They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
Job	Job	18	24	8	They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
Job	Job	18	24	9	They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
Job	Job	18	24	10	They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
Job	Job	18	24	11	Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Job	Job	18	24	12	Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
Job	Job	18	24	13	They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
Job	Job	18	24	14	The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
Job	Job	18	24	15	The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
Job	Job	18	24	16	In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
Job	Job	18	24	17	For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
Job	Job	18	24	18	He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
Job	Job	18	24	19	Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
Job	Job	18	24	20	The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
Job	Job	18	24	21	He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
Job	Job	18	24	22	He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
Job	Job	18	24	23	Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
Job	Job	18	24	24	They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
Job	Job	18	24	25	And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Job	Job	18	25	1	Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job	Job	18	25	2	Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
Job	Job	18	25	3	Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
Job	Job	18	25	4	How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
Job	Job	18	25	5	Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
Job	Job	18	25	6	How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
Job	Job	18	26	1	But Job answered and said,
Job	Job	18	26	2	How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
Job	Job	18	26	3	How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
Job	Job	18	26	4	To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Job	Job	18	26	5	Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
Job	Job	18	26	6	Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
Job	Job	18	26	7	He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
Job	Job	18	26	8	He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
Job	Job	18	26	9	He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Job	Job	18	26	10	He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
Job	Job	18	26	11	The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
Job	Job	18	26	12	He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
Job	Job	18	26	13	By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
Job	Job	18	26	14	Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
Job	Job	18	27	1	Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job	Job	18	27	2	As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
Job	Job	18	27	3	All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
Job	Job	18	27	4	My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
Job	Job	18	27	5	God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
Job	Job	18	27	6	My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Job	Job	18	27	7	Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Job	Job	18	27	8	For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
Job	Job	18	27	9	Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Job	Job	18	27	10	Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
Job	Job	18	27	11	I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Job	Job	18	27	12	Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
Job	Job	18	27	13	This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
Job	Job	18	27	14	If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job	Job	18	27	15	Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Job	Job	18	27	16	Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
Job	Job	18	27	17	He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job	Job	18	27	18	He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
Job	Job	18	27	19	The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Job	Job	18	27	20	Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Job	Job	18	27	21	The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Job	Job	18	27	22	For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Job	Job	18	27	23	Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Job	Job	18	28	1	Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
Job	Job	18	28	2	Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
Job	Job	18	28	3	He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
Job	Job	18	28	4	The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
Job	Job	18	28	5	As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
Job	Job	18	28	6	The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
Job	Job	18	28	7	There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
Job	Job	18	28	8	The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
Job	Job	18	28	9	He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
Job	Job	18	28	10	He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
Job	Job	18	28	11	He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
Job	Job	18	28	12	But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Job	Job	18	28	13	Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
Job	Job	18	28	14	The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
Job	Job	18	28	15	It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
Job	Job	18	28	16	It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Job	Job	18	28	17	The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
Job	Job	18	28	18	No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Job	Job	18	28	19	The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Job	Job	18	28	20	Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
Job	Job	18	28	21	Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
Job	Job	18	28	22	Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
Job	Job	18	28	23	God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
Job	Job	18	28	24	For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
Job	Job	18	28	25	To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
Job	Job	18	28	26	When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Job	Job	18	28	27	Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Job	Job	18	28	28	And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job	Job	18	29	1	Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job	Job	18	29	2	Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
Job	Job	18	29	3	When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
Job	Job	18	29	4	As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
Job	Job	18	29	5	When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
Job	Job	18	29	6	When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
Job	Job	18	29	7	When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
Job	Job	18	29	8	The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
Job	Job	18	29	9	The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Job	Job	18	29	10	The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Job	Job	18	29	11	When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Job	Job	18	29	12	Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
Job	Job	18	29	13	The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Job	Job	18	29	14	I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
Job	Job	18	29	15	I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
Job	Job	18	29	16	I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Job	Job	18	29	17	And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job	Job	18	29	18	Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
Job	Job	18	29	19	My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Job	Job	18	29	20	My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Job	Job	18	29	21	Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
Job	Job	18	29	22	After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
Job	Job	18	29	23	And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Job	Job	18	29	24	If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Job	Job	18	29	25	I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Job	Job	18	30	1	But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Job	Job	18	30	2	Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
Job	Job	18	30	3	For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
Job	Job	18	30	4	Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
Job	Job	18	30	5	They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
Job	Job	18	30	6	To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
Job	Job	18	30	7	Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
Job	Job	18	30	8	They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
Job	Job	18	30	9	And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
Job	Job	18	30	10	They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
Job	Job	18	30	11	Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Job	Job	18	30	12	Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
Job	Job	18	30	13	They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
Job	Job	18	30	14	They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
Job	Job	18	30	15	Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
Job	Job	18	30	16	And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
Job	Job	18	30	17	My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
Job	Job	18	30	18	By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
Job	Job	18	30	19	He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
Job	Job	18	30	20	I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
Job	Job	18	30	21	Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
Job	Job	18	30	22	Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
Job	Job	18	30	23	For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
Job	Job	18	30	24	Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
Job	Job	18	30	25	Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
Job	Job	18	30	26	When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
Job	Job	18	30	27	My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
Job	Job	18	30	28	I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
Job	Job	18	30	29	I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
Job	Job	18	30	30	My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
Job	Job	18	30	31	My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
Job	Job	18	31	1	I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
Job	Job	18	31	2	For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
Job	Job	18	31	3	Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
Job	Job	18	31	4	Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
Job	Job	18	31	5	If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
Job	Job	18	31	6	Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
Job	Job	18	31	7	If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
Job	Job	18	31	8	Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
Job	Job	18	31	9	If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
Job	Job	18	31	10	Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
Job	Job	18	31	11	For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
Job	Job	18	31	12	For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
Job	Job	18	31	13	If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
Job	Job	18	31	14	What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
Job	Job	18	31	15	Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
Job	Job	18	31	16	If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
Job	Job	18	31	17	Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
Job	Job	18	31	18	(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
Job	Job	18	31	19	If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
Job	Job	18	31	20	If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
Job	Job	18	31	21	If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
Job	Job	18	31	22	Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
Job	Job	18	31	23	For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
Job	Job	18	31	24	If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
Job	Job	18	31	25	If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
Job	Job	18	31	26	If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
Job	Job	18	31	27	And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
Job	Job	18	31	28	This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
Job	Job	18	31	29	If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
Job	Job	18	31	30	Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
Job	Job	18	31	31	If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
Job	Job	18	31	32	The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
Job	Job	18	31	33	If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
Job	Job	18	31	34	Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
Job	Job	18	31	35	Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
Job	Job	18	31	36	Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
Job	Job	18	31	37	I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
Job	Job	18	31	38	If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
Job	Job	18	31	39	If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
Job	Job	18	31	40	Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
Job	Job	18	32	1	So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Job	Job	18	32	2	Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Job	Job	18	32	3	Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Job	Job	18	32	4	Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
Job	Job	18	32	5	When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
Job	Job	18	32	6	And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
Job	Job	18	32	7	I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
Job	Job	18	32	8	But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Job	Job	18	32	9	Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
Job	Job	18	32	10	Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
Job	Job	18	32	11	Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
Job	Job	18	32	12	Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
Job	Job	18	32	13	Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
Job	Job	18	32	14	Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
Job	Job	18	32	15	They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
Job	Job	18	32	16	When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
Job	Job	18	32	17	I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
Job	Job	18	32	18	For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
Job	Job	18	32	19	Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Job	Job	18	32	20	I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
Job	Job	18	32	21	Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
Job	Job	18	32	22	For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Job	Job	18	33	1	Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
Job	Job	18	33	2	Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Job	Job	18	33	3	My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
Job	Job	18	33	4	The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Job	Job	18	33	5	If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
Job	Job	18	33	6	Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
Job	Job	18	33	7	Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
Job	Job	18	33	8	Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
Job	Job	18	33	9	I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
Job	Job	18	33	10	Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
Job	Job	18	33	11	He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
Job	Job	18	33	12	Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
Job	Job	18	33	13	Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
Job	Job	18	33	14	For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
Job	Job	18	33	15	In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Job	Job	18	33	16	Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
Job	Job	18	33	17	That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
Job	Job	18	33	18	He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Job	Job	18	33	19	He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
Job	Job	18	33	20	So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
Job	Job	18	33	21	His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
Job	Job	18	33	22	Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
Job	Job	18	33	23	If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
Job	Job	18	33	24	Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
Job	Job	18	33	25	His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
Job	Job	18	33	26	He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
Job	Job	18	33	27	He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
Job	Job	18	33	28	He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Job	Job	18	33	29	Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
Job	Job	18	33	30	To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job	Job	18	33	31	Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
Job	Job	18	33	32	If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
Job	Job	18	33	33	If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
Job	Job	18	34	1	Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
Job	Job	18	34	2	Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Job	Job	18	34	3	For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
Job	Job	18	34	4	Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Job	Job	18	34	5	For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
Job	Job	18	34	6	Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
Job	Job	18	34	7	What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
Job	Job	18	34	8	Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Job	Job	18	34	9	For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
Job	Job	18	34	10	Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
Job	Job	18	34	11	For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
Job	Job	18	34	12	Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
Job	Job	18	34	13	Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
Job	Job	18	34	14	If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
Job	Job	18	34	15	All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
Job	Job	18	34	16	If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
Job	Job	18	34	17	Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
Job	Job	18	34	18	Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
Job	Job	18	34	19	How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
Job	Job	18	34	20	In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Job	Job	18	34	21	For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Job	Job	18	34	22	There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Job	Job	18	34	23	For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
Job	Job	18	34	24	He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
Job	Job	18	34	25	Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Job	Job	18	34	26	He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
Job	Job	18	34	27	Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
Job	Job	18	34	28	So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
Job	Job	18	34	29	When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
Job	Job	18	34	30	That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
Job	Job	18	34	31	Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
Job	Job	18	34	32	That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
Job	Job	18	34	33	Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
Job	Job	18	34	34	Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
Job	Job	18	34	35	Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
Job	Job	18	34	36	My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
Job	Job	18	34	37	For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
Job	Job	18	35	1	Elihu spake moreover, and said,
Job	Job	18	35	2	Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
Job	Job	18	35	3	For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
Job	Job	18	35	4	I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
Job	Job	18	35	5	Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
Job	Job	18	35	6	If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Job	Job	18	35	7	If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
Job	Job	18	35	8	Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
Job	Job	18	35	9	By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
Job	Job	18	35	10	But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
Job	Job	18	35	11	Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
Job	Job	18	35	12	There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
Job	Job	18	35	13	Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Job	Job	18	35	14	Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
Job	Job	18	35	15	But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
Job	Job	18	35	16	Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job	Job	18	36	1	Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Job	Job	18	36	2	Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
Job	Job	18	36	3	I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
Job	Job	18	36	4	For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Job	Job	18	36	5	Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
Job	Job	18	36	6	He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
Job	Job	18	36	7	He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
Job	Job	18	36	8	And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
Job	Job	18	36	9	Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
Job	Job	18	36	10	He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Job	Job	18	36	11	If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Job	Job	18	36	12	But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Job	Job	18	36	13	But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
Job	Job	18	36	14	They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Job	Job	18	36	15	He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
Job	Job	18	36	16	Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
Job	Job	18	36	17	But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
Job	Job	18	36	18	Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
Job	Job	18	36	19	Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Job	Job	18	36	20	Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Job	Job	18	36	21	Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Job	Job	18	36	22	Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
Job	Job	18	36	23	Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
Job	Job	18	36	24	Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
Job	Job	18	36	25	Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
Job	Job	18	36	26	Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
Job	Job	18	36	27	For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
Job	Job	18	36	28	Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
Job	Job	18	36	29	Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
Job	Job	18	36	30	Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
Job	Job	18	36	31	For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
Job	Job	18	36	32	With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
Job	Job	18	36	33	The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
Job	Job	18	37	1	At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
Job	Job	18	37	2	Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
Job	Job	18	37	3	He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Job	Job	18	37	4	After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
Job	Job	18	37	5	God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
Job	Job	18	37	6	For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
Job	Job	18	37	7	He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Job	Job	18	37	8	Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
Job	Job	18	37	9	Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
Job	Job	18	37	10	By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Job	Job	18	37	11	Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
Job	Job	18	37	12	And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
Job	Job	18	37	13	He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
Job	Job	18	37	14	Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Job	Job	18	37	15	Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Job	Job	18	37	16	Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
Job	Job	18	37	17	How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Job	Job	18	37	18	Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
Job	Job	18	37	19	Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
Job	Job	18	37	20	Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Job	Job	18	37	21	And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
Job	Job	18	37	22	Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
Job	Job	18	37	23	Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
Job	Job	18	37	24	Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Job	Job	18	38	1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job	Job	18	38	2	Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job	Job	18	38	3	Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
Job	Job	18	38	4	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job	Job	18	38	5	Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job	Job	18	38	6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job	Job	18	38	7	When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job	Job	18	38	8	Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job	Job	18	38	9	When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Job	Job	18	38	10	And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
Job	Job	18	38	11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job	Job	18	38	12	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
Job	Job	18	38	13	That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job	Job	18	38	14	It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
Job	Job	18	38	15	And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
Job	Job	18	38	16	Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Job	Job	18	38	17	Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job	Job	18	38	18	Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
Job	Job	18	38	19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
Job	Job	18	38	20	That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
Job	Job	18	38	21	Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
Job	Job	18	38	22	Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job	Job	18	38	23	Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
Job	Job	18	38	24	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
Job	Job	18	38	25	Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Job	Job	18	38	26	To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
Job	Job	18	38	27	To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
Job	Job	18	38	28	Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
Job	Job	18	38	29	Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
Job	Job	18	38	30	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
Job	Job	18	38	31	Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job	Job	18	38	32	Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job	Job	18	38	33	Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Job	Job	18	38	34	Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
Job	Job	18	38	35	Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
Job	Job	18	38	36	Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
Job	Job	18	38	37	Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
Job	Job	18	38	38	When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
Job	Job	18	38	39	Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
Job	Job	18	38	40	When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Job	Job	18	38	41	Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
Job	Job	18	39	1	Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Job	Job	18	39	2	Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
Job	Job	18	39	3	They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
Job	Job	18	39	4	Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
Job	Job	18	39	5	Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
Job	Job	18	39	6	Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
Job	Job	18	39	7	He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
Job	Job	18	39	8	The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
Job	Job	18	39	9	Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
Job	Job	18	39	10	Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Job	Job	18	39	11	Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
Job	Job	18	39	12	Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
Job	Job	18	39	13	Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
Job	Job	18	39	14	Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
Job	Job	18	39	15	And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
Job	Job	18	39	16	She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
Job	Job	18	39	17	Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
Job	Job	18	39	18	What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
Job	Job	18	39	19	Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
Job	Job	18	39	20	Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
Job	Job	18	39	21	He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
Job	Job	18	39	22	He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
Job	Job	18	39	23	The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
Job	Job	18	39	24	He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
Job	Job	18	39	25	He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Job	Job	18	39	26	Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
Job	Job	18	39	27	Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
Job	Job	18	39	28	She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
Job	Job	18	39	29	From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
Job	Job	18	39	30	Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
Job	Job	18	40	1	Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Job	Job	18	40	2	Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Job	Job	18	40	3	Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job	Job	18	40	4	Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job	Job	18	40	5	Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Job	Job	18	40	6	Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Job	Job	18	40	7	Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job	Job	18	40	8	Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Job	Job	18	40	9	Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
Job	Job	18	40	10	Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
Job	Job	18	40	11	Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
Job	Job	18	40	12	Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
Job	Job	18	40	13	Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.
Job	Job	18	40	14	Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.
Job	Job	18	40	15	Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Job	Job	18	40	16	Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
Job	Job	18	40	17	He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Job	Job	18	40	18	His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Job	Job	18	40	19	He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
Job	Job	18	40	20	Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Job	Job	18	40	21	He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Job	Job	18	40	22	The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Job	Job	18	40	23	Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
Job	Job	18	40	24	He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Job	Job	18	41	1	Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Job	Job	18	41	2	Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Job	Job	18	41	3	Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
Job	Job	18	41	4	Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
Job	Job	18	41	5	Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Job	Job	18	41	6	Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
Job	Job	18	41	7	Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
Job	Job	18	41	8	Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
Job	Job	18	41	9	Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
Job	Job	18	41	10	None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Job	Job	18	41	11	Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
Job	Job	18	41	12	I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Job	Job	18	41	13	Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Job	Job	18	41	14	Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
Job	Job	18	41	15	His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
Job	Job	18	41	16	One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
Job	Job	18	41	17	They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Job	Job	18	41	18	By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Job	Job	18	41	19	Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Job	Job	18	41	20	Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
Job	Job	18	41	21	His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Job	Job	18	41	22	In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Job	Job	18	41	23	The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Job	Job	18	41	24	His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
Job	Job	18	41	25	When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Job	Job	18	41	26	The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
Job	Job	18	41	27	He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
Job	Job	18	41	28	The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Job	Job	18	41	29	Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Job	Job	18	41	30	Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
Job	Job	18	41	31	He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
Job	Job	18	41	32	He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
Job	Job	18	41	33	Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Job	Job	18	41	34	He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Job	Job	18	42	1	Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job	Job	18	42	2	I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
Job	Job	18	42	3	Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job	Job	18	42	4	Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job	Job	18	42	5	I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Job	Job	18	42	6	Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
Job	Job	18	42	7	And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job	Job	18	42	8	Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
Job	Job	18	42	9	So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Job	Job	18	42	10	And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job	Job	18	42	11	Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Job	Job	18	42	12	So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Job	Job	18	42	13	He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job	Job	18	42	14	And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
Job	Job	18	42	15	And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job	Job	18	42	16	After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
Job	Job	18	42	17	So Job died, being old and full of days.

Psalms	Psa	19	2	1	Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psalms	Psa	19	2	2	The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psalms	Psa	19	2	3	Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psalms	Psa	19	2	4	He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

Psalms	Psa	19	3	3	But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.

Psalms	Psa	19	5	3	My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Psalms	Psa	19	35	12	They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
Psalms	Psa	19	35	13	But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

Psalms	Psa	19	39	8	Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.
Psalms	Psa	19	39	9	I was dumb, I opened not my mouth; because thou didst it.
Psalms	Psa	19	39	10	Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.
Psalms	Psa	19	39	11	When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: surely every man is vanity. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	39	12	Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Psalms	Psa	19	39	13	O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	1	I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	2	He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	3	And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	4	Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	5	Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	6	Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	7	Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,
Psalms	Psa	19	40	8	I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	9	I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	10	I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy loving-kindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	11	Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy loving-kindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	12	For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	13	Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	14	Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	15	Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	16	Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
Psalms	Psa	19	40	17	But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

Psalms	Psa	19	41	4	I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	5	Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
Psalms	Psa	19	41	6	And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	7	All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	8	An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	9	Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	10	But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	11	By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	12	And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	41	13	Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.

Psalms	Psa	19	42	3	My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God?
Psalms	Psa	19	42	4	When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.
Psalms	Psa	19	42	5	Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Psalms	Psa	19	42	6	O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar.
Psalms	Psa	19	42	7	Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Psalms	Psa	19	42	8	Yet the LORD will command his loving-kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalms	Psa	19	42	9	I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Psalms	Psa	19	42	10	As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God?

Psalms	Psa	19	44	2	How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.
Psalms	Psa	19	44	3	For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
Psalms	Psa	19	44	4	Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

Psalms	Psa	19	44	14	Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.
Psalms	Psa	19	44	15	My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Psalms	Psa	19	44	16	For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

Psalms	Psa	19	44	26	Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	1	My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	2	Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	3	Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	4	And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	5	Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	45	6	Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

Psalms	Psa	19	55	2	Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
Psalms	Psa	19	55	3	Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

Psalms	Psa	19	55	11	Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
Psalms	Psa	19	55	12	For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
Psalms	Psa	19	55	13	But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
Psalms	Psa	19	55	14	We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
Psalms	Psa	19	55	15	Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Psalms	Psa	19	55	21	The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
Psalms	Psa	19	55	22	Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Psalms	Psa	19	55	23	But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	1	Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	2	Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.

Psalms	Psa	19	56	4	In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	5	Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	6	They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	7	Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.

Psalms	Psa	19	56	12	Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	56	13	For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?
Psalms	Psa	19	57	1	Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
Psalms	Psa	19	57	2	I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
Psalms	Psa	19	57	3	He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

Psalms	Psa	19	74	7	They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	8	They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	9	We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	10	O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
Psalms	Psa	19	74	11	Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	12	For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	13	Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	14	Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	15	Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	16	The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	17	Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	18	Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	19	O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	20	Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	21	O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	22	Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.
Psalms	Psa	19	74	23	Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	1	Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks, unto thee do we give thanks: for that thy name is near thy wondrous works declare.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	2	When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	3	The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	4	I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
Psalms	Psa	19	75	5	Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	6	For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	7	But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	8	For in the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he poureth out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	9	But I will declare for ever; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
Psalms	Psa	19	75	10	All the horns of the wicked also will I cut off; but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	1	In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	2	In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	3	There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	4	Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	5	The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	6	At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	7	Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
Psalms	Psa	19	76	8	Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,
Psalms	Psa	19	76	9	When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	10	Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	11	Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring presents unto him that ought to be feared.
Psalms	Psa	19	76	12	He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he is terrible to the kings of the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	1	I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	2	In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	3	I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	4	Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	5	I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	6	I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	7	Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?
Psalms	Psa	19	77	8	Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?
Psalms	Psa	19	77	9	Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	10	And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	11	I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	12	I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	13	Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
Psalms	Psa	19	77	14	Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	15	Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	16	The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	17	The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	18	The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	19	Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.
Psalms	Psa	19	77	20	Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	1	Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	2	I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	3	Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	4	We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	5	For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	6	That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	7	That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	8	And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	9	The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	10	They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
Psalms	Psa	19	78	11	And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	12	Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	13	He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	14	In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	15	He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	16	He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	17	And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	18	And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	19	Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
Psalms	Psa	19	78	20	Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
Psalms	Psa	19	78	21	Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
Psalms	Psa	19	78	22	Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	23	Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
Psalms	Psa	19	78	24	And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	25	Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	26	He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	27	He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	28	And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	29	So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
Psalms	Psa	19	78	30	They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
Psalms	Psa	19	78	31	The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	32	For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	33	Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	34	When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	35	And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	36	Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	37	For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	38	But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	39	For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	40	How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
Psalms	Psa	19	78	41	Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	42	They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	43	How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	44	And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	45	He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	46	He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the locust.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	47	He destroyed their vines with hail, and their sycomore trees with frost.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	48	He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	49	He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	50	He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;
Psalms	Psa	19	78	51	And smote all the firstborn in Egypt; the chief of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	52	But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	53	And he led them on safely, so that they feared not: but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	54	And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	55	He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	56	Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	57	But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	58	For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	59	When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	60	So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;
Psalms	Psa	19	78	61	And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	62	He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	63	The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to marriage.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	64	Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	65	Then the LORD awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	66	And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual reproach.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	67	Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	68	But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	69	And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	70	He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:
Psalms	Psa	19	78	71	From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.
Psalms	Psa	19	78	72	So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	1	O GOD, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	2	The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	3	Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	4	We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	5	How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
Psalms	Psa	19	79	6	Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	7	For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	8	O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	9	Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	10	Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	11	Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
Psalms	Psa	19	79	12	And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
Psalms	Psa	19	79	13	So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	1	Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	2	Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	3	Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	4	O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
Psalms	Psa	19	80	5	Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	6	Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	7	Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	8	Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	9	Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	10	The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	11	She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	12	Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
Psalms	Psa	19	80	13	The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	14	Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
Psalms	Psa	19	80	15	And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	16	It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	17	Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	18	So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name.
Psalms	Psa	19	80	19	Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	1	Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	2	Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	3	Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	4	For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	5	This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	6	I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	7	Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	8	Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me;
Psalms	Psa	19	81	9	There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	10	I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	11	But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	12	So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	13	Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!
Psalms	Psa	19	81	14	I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	15	The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	81	16	He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	1	God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	2	How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	3	Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	4	Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	5	They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	6	I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	7	But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
Psalms	Psa	19	82	8	Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	1	Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	2	For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	3	They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	4	They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	5	For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
Psalms	Psa	19	83	6	The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
Psalms	Psa	19	83	7	Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
Psalms	Psa	19	83	8	Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	9	Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
Psalms	Psa	19	83	10	Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	11	Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
Psalms	Psa	19	83	12	Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	13	O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	14	As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
Psalms	Psa	19	83	15	So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	16	Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	83	17	Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
Psalms	Psa	19	83	18	That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	1	How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts!
Psalms	Psa	19	84	2	My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	3	Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	4	Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	5	Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	6	Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	7	They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	8	O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	9	Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	10	For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	11	For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.
Psalms	Psa	19	84	12	O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	85	1	Lord, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob.
Psalms	Psa	19	85	2	Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.
Psalms	Psa	19	85	3	Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger.
Psalms	Psa	19	85	4	Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease.

Psalms	Psa	19	99	3	Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy.

Psalms	Psa	19	99	5	Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool; for he is holy.
Psalms	Psa	19	99	6	Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
Psalms	Psa	19	99	7	He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.
Psalms	Psa	19	99	8	Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
Psalms	Psa	19	99	9	Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God is holy.
Psalms	Psa	19	100	1	Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Psalms	Psa	19	100	2	Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Psalms	Psa	19	100	3	Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Psalms	Psa	19	100	4	Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psalms	Psa	19	100	5	For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	1	I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	2	I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	3	I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	4	A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	5	Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	6	Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	7	He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
Psalms	Psa	19	101	8	I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	1	Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	2	Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	3	For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	4	My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	5	By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	6	I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	7	I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	8	Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	9	For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
Psalms	Psa	19	102	10	Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	11	My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	12	But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	13	Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	14	For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	15	So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	16	When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	17	He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	18	This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	19	For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
Psalms	Psa	19	102	20	To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
Psalms	Psa	19	102	21	To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
Psalms	Psa	19	102	22	When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	23	He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	24	I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	25	Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	26	They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
Psalms	Psa	19	102	27	But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
Psalms	Psa	19	102	28	The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	1	Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	2	Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Psalms	Psa	19	103	3	Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Psalms	Psa	19	103	4	Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;
Psalms	Psa	19	103	5	Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	6	The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	7	He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	8	The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	9	He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	10	He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	11	For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	12	As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	13	Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	14	For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	15	As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	16	For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	17	But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
Psalms	Psa	19	103	18	To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	19	The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	20	Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	21	Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Psalms	Psa	19	103	22	Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	1	Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	2	Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
Psalms	Psa	19	104	3	Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Psalms	Psa	19	104	4	Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
Psalms	Psa	19	104	5	Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	6	Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	7	At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	8	They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	9	Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	10	He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	11	They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	12	By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	13	He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	14	He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Psalms	Psa	19	104	15	And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	16	The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Psalms	Psa	19	104	17	Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	18	The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	19	He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	20	Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	21	The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	22	The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	23	Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	24	O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	25	So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	26	There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	27	These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	28	That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	29	Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	30	Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	31	The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	32	He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	33	I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	34	My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	104	35	Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	1	O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	2	Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	3	Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	4	Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	5	Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Psalms	Psa	19	105	6	O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	7	He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	8	He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	9	Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
Psalms	Psa	19	105	10	And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	11	Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	12	When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	13	When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
Psalms	Psa	19	105	14	He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Psalms	Psa	19	105	15	Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	16	Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	17	He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	18	Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	19	Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	20	The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	21	He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	22	To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	23	Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	24	And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	25	He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	26	He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	27	They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	28	He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	29	He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	30	Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	31	He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	32	He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	33	He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	34	He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
Psalms	Psa	19	105	35	And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	36	He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	37	He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	38	Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	39	He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	40	The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	41	He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	42	For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
Psalms	Psa	19	105	43	And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
Psalms	Psa	19	105	44	And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
Psalms	Psa	19	105	45	That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	1	Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	2	Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
Psalms	Psa	19	106	3	Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	4	Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
Psalms	Psa	19	106	5	That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	6	We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	7	Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	8	Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	9	He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	10	And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	11	And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	12	Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	13	They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	14	But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	15	And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	16	They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	17	The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	18	And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	19	They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	20	Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	21	They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
Psalms	Psa	19	106	22	Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	23	Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	24	Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	25	But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	26	Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	27	To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	28	They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	29	Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	30	Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	31	And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	32	They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	33	Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	34	They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	35	But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	36	And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	37	Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
Psalms	Psa	19	106	38	And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	39	Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	40	Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	41	And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	42	Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	43	Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	44	Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
Psalms	Psa	19	106	45	And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	46	He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	47	Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
Psalms	Psa	19	106	48	Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	1	O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	2	Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
Psalms	Psa	19	107	3	And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	4	They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	5	Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	6	Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	7	And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	8	Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms	Psa	19	107	9	For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	10	Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
Psalms	Psa	19	107	11	Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
Psalms	Psa	19	107	12	Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	13	Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	14	He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	15	Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms	Psa	19	107	16	For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	17	Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	18	Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	19	Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	20	He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	21	Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
Psalms	Psa	19	107	22	And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	23	They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
Psalms	Psa	19	107	24	These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.
Psalms	Psa	19	107	25	For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

Proverbs	Prv	20	1	6	To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	7	The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	8	My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	9	For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	10	My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	11	If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	12	Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	13	We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	14	Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	15	My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	16	For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	17	Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	18	And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	19	So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	20	Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	21	She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	22	How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	23	Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	24	Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	25	But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	26	I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	27	When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	28	Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	29	For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	30	They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	31	Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	32	For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Proverbs	Prv	20	1	33	But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	1	My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	2	So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	3	Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	4	If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	5	Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	6	For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	7	He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	8	He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	9	Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	10	When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	11	Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	12	To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	13	Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	14	Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	15	Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths:
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	16	To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	17	Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	18	For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	19	None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	20	That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	21	For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
Proverbs	Prv	20	2	22	But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	1	My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	2	For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	3	Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	4	So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	5	Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	6	In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	7	Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	8	It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	9	Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	10	So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	11	My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	12	For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	13	Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	14	For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	15	She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	16	Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	17	Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	18	She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	19	The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	20	By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	21	My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	22	So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	23	Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	24	When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	25	Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	26	For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	27	Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	28	Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	29	Devise not evil against thy neighbour, seeing he dwelleth securely by thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	30	Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	31	Envy thou not the oppressor, and choose none of his ways.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	32	For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	33	The curse of the LORD is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	34	Surely he scorneth the scorners: but he giveth grace unto the lowly.
Proverbs	Prv	20	3	35	The wise shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	1	Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	2	For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	3	For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	4	He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	5	Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	6	Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	7	Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	8	Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	9	She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	10	Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	11	I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in right paths.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	12	When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and when thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	13	Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	14	Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	15	Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	16	For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	17	For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	18	But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	19	The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	20	My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	21	Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	22	For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	23	Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	24	Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	25	Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids look straight before thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	26	Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Proverbs	Prv	20	4	27	Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove thy foot from evil.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	1	My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding:
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	2	That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	3	For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	4	But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	5	Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	6	Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	7	Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	8	Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	9	Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	10	Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	11	And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	12	And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	13	And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	14	I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	15	Drink waters out of thine own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	16	Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	17	Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	18	Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	19	Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	20	And why wilt thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger?
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	21	For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	22	His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Proverbs	Prv	20	5	23	He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	1	My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger,
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	2	Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	3	Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	4	Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	5	Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	6	Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	7	Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler,
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	8	Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	9	How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	10	Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	11	So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	12	A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	13	He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers;
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	14	Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	15	Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	16	These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	17	A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	18	An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	19	A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	20	My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	21	Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	22	When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	23	For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	24	To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	25	Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	26	For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	27	Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	28	Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	29	So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	30	Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	31	But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	32	But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	33	A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	34	For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
Proverbs	Prv	20	6	35	He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	1	My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	2	Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	3	Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	4	Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	5	That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	6	For at the window of my house I looked through my casement,
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	7	And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	8	Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house,
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	9	In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night:
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	10	And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	11	(She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house:
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	12	Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.)
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	13	So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him,
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	14	I have peace offerings with me; this day have I payed my vows.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	15	Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	16	I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	17	I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	18	Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	19	For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey:
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	20	He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	21	With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	22	He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks;
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	23	Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	24	Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	25	Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	26	For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her.
Proverbs	Prv	20	7	27	Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	1	Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	2	She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	3	She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	4	Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	5	O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	6	Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	7	For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	8	All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	9	They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	10	Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	11	For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	12	I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	13	The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	14	Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	15	By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	16	By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	17	I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	18	Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	19	My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	20	I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	21	That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	22	The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	23	I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	24	When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	25	Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	26	While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	27	When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	28	When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	29	When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	30	Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	31	Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	32	Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	33	Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	34	Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	35	For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
Proverbs	Prv	20	8	36	But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	1	Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	2	She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table.
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	3	She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city,
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	4	Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	5	Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	6	Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.
Proverbs	Prv	20	9	7	He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Proverbs	Prv	20	31	30	Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
Proverbs	Prv	20	31	31	Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	1	The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	2	Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	3	What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	4	One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	5	The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	6	The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	7	All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	8	All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	9	The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	10	Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	11	There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	12	I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	13	And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	14	I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	15	That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	16	I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	17	And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	1	18	For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	1	I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	2	I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	3	I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	4	I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	5	I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	6	I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	7	I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	8	I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	9	So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	10	And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	11	Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	12	And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	13	Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	14	The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	15	Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	16	For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	17	Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	18	Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	19	And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	20	Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which I took under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	21	For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	22	For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	23	For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	24	There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	25	For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	2	26	For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	1	To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	2	A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	3	A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	4	A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	5	A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	6	A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	7	A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	8	A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	9	What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	10	I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	11	He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	12	I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	13	And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	14	I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	15	That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	16	And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	17	I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	18	I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	19	For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	20	All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	21	Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	3	22	Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	1	So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	2	Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	3	Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	4	Again, I considered all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	5	The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	6	Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	7	Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	8	There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	9	Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	10	For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	11	Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	12	And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	13	Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	14	For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	15	I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	4	16	There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	1	Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	2	Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	3	For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	4	When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	5	Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	6	Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	7	For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	8	If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	9	Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	10	He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	11	When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	12	The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	13	There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	14	But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	15	As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	16	And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	17	All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	18	Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	19	Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	5	20	For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	1	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	2	A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	3	If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	4	For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	5	Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	6	Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	7	All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	8	For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	9	Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	10	That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	11	Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	6	12	For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	1	A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	2	It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	3	Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	4	The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	5	It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	6	For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	7	Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	8	Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	9	Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	10	Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	11	Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	12	For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	13	Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	14	In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	15	All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	16	Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	17	Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	18	It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from this withdraw not thine hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth of them all.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	19	Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty men which are in the city.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	20	For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	21	Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	22	For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	23	All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	24	That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	25	I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	26	And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	27	Behold, this have I found, saith the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the account:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	28	Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	7	29	Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	1	Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	2	I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, and that in regard of the oath of God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	3	Be not hasty to go out of his sight: stand not in an evil thing; for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	4	Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may say unto him, What doest thou?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	5	Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	6	Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	7	For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	8	There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	9	All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	10	And so I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done: this is also vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	11	Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	12	Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	13	But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	14	There is a vanity which is done upon the earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	15	Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	16	When I applied mine heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth: (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:)
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	8	17	Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea farther; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	1	For all this I considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God: no man knoweth either love or hatred by all that is before them.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	2	All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	3	This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	4	For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	5	For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	6	Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	7	Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	8	Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	9	Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	10	Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	11	I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	12	For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	13	This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	14	There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	15	Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	16	Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	17	The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	9	18	Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	1	Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	2	A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	3	Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	4	If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	5	There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which proceedeth from the ruler:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	6	Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	7	I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	8	He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	9	Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	10	If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	11	Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	12	The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	13	The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	14	A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	15	The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	16	Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	17	Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	18	By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	19	A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	10	20	Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	1	Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	2	Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	3	If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	4	He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	5	As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	6	In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	7	Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	8	But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	9	Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	11	10	Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	1	Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	2	While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	3	In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	4	And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	5	Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	6	Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	7	Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	8	Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	9	And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	10	The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	11	The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	12	And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	13	Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes	Eccl	21	12	14	For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	1	The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	2	Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	3	Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	5	I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	6	Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	7	Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	8	If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	13	A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	14	My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	15	Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	16	Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	1	17	The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	1	I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	2	As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	3	As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	4	He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	5	Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	6	His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	7	I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	8	The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	9	My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	10	My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	11	For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	12	The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	13	The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	14	O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	15	Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	16	My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	2	17	Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	1	By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	2	I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	3	The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	4	It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	5	I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	6	Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	7	Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	8	They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	9	King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	10	He made the pillars thereof of silver, the bottom thereof of gold, the covering of it of purple, the midst thereof being paved with love, for the daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	3	11	Go forth, O ye daughters of Zion, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	1	Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	2	Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	3	Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	4	Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	5	Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	6	Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	7	Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	8	Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	9	Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	10	How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	11	Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	12	A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	13	Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	14	Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	15	A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	4	16	Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	1	I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	2	I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	3	I have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	4	My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	5	I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	6	I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	7	The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	8	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick of love.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	9	What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? what is thy beloved more than another beloved, that thou dost so charge us?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	10	My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	11	His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	12	His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	13	His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	14	His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	15	His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	5	16	His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	1	Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? whither is thy beloved turned aside? that we may seek him with thee.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	2	My beloved is gone down into his garden, to the beds of spices, to feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	3	I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	4	Thou art beautiful, O my love, as Tirzah, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	5	Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	6	Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	7	As a piece of a pomegranate are thy temples within thy locks.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	8	There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, and virgins without number.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	9	My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	10	Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	11	I went down into the garden of nuts to see the fruits of the valley, and to see whether the vine flourished, and the pomegranates budded.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	12	Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	6	13	Return, return, O Shulamite; return, return, that we may look upon thee. What will ye see in the Shulamite? As it were the company of two armies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	1	How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, O prince's daughter! the joints of thy thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a cunning workman.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	2	Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor: thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	3	Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	4	Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bathrabbim: thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	5	Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	6	How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	7	This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	8	I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	9	And the roof of thy mouth like the best wine for my beloved, that goeth down sweetly, causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	10	I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	11	Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	12	Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	7	13	The mandrakes give a smell, and at our gates are all manner of pleasant fruits, new and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	1	O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	2	I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	3	His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	4	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	5	Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	6	Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	7	Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	8	We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	9	If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	10	I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	11	Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	12	My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	13	Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.
Song of Solomon	SSol	22	8	14	Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Isaiah	Isa	23	1	12	When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	13	Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	14	Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	15	And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.

Isaiah	Isa	23	1	17	Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	18	Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	19	If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	20	But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	21	How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	22	Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	23	Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	24	Therefore saith the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	25	And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	26	And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	27	Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	28	And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	29	For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	30	For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
Isaiah	Isa	23	1	31	And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	1	The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	2	And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	3	And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	4	And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	5	O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	6	Therefore thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replenished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	7	Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land is also full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots:
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	8	Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made:
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	9	And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	10	Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	11	The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	12	For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low:
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	13	And upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	14	And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up,
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	15	And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall,
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	16	And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	17	And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	18	And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	19	And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	20	In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	21	To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	2	22	Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ?
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	1	For, behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	2	The mighty man, and the man of war, the judge, and the prophet, and the prudent, and the ancient,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	3	The captain of fifty, and the honourable man, and the counsellor, and the cunning artificer, and the eloquent orator.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	4	And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	5	And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	6	When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou our ruler, and let this ruin be under thy hand:
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	7	In that day shall he swear, saying, I will not be an healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing: make me not a ruler of the people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	8	For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	9	The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	10	Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	11	Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	12	As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	13	The LORD standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	14	The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	15	What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	16	Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	17	Therefore the LORD will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	18	In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	19	The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	20	The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	21	The rings, and nose jewels,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	22	The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	23	The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	24	And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	25	Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
Isaiah	Isa	23	3	26	And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	1	And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	2	In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	3	And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem:
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	4	When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	5	And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence.
Isaiah	Isa	23	4	6	And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the day time from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	1	Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	2	And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	3	And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	4	What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	5	And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	6	And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	7	For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	8	Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	9	In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	10	Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	11	Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	12	And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	13	Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	14	Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	15	And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	16	But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	17	Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	18	Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	19	That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	20	Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	21	Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	22	Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	23	Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	24	Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	25	Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	26	And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	27	None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	28	Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	29	Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	5	30	And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	1	In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	2	Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	3	And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	4	And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	5	Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	6	Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	7	And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	8	Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	9	And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	10	Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	11	Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	12	And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
Isaiah	Isa	23	6	13	But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	1	And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	2	And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	3	Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shearjashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field;
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	4	And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	5	Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	6	Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeal:
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	7	Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	8	For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	9	And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	10	Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	11	Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	12	But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	13	And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	14	Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	15	Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	16	For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	17	The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	18	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	19	And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	20	In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	21	And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	22	And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	23	And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall even be for briers and thorns.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	24	With arrows and with bows shall men come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
Isaiah	Isa	23	7	25	And on all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	1	Moreover the LORD said unto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen concerning Mahershalalhashbaz.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	2	And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	3	And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	4	For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	5	The LORD spake also unto me again, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	6	Forasmuch as this people refuseth the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah's son;
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	7	Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks:
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	8	And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	9	Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	10	Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	11	For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	12	Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	13	Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	14	And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	15	And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	16	Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	17	And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	18	Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	19	And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	20	To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	21	And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
Isaiah	Isa	23	8	22	And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	1	Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	2	The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	3	Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	4	For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	5	For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	6	For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	7	Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	8	The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	9	And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	10	The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	11	Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and join his enemies together;
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	12	The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	13	For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the LORD of hosts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	14	Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	15	The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	16	For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	17	Therefore the LORD shall have no joy in their young men, neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Isaiah	Isa	23	9	18	For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.

Isaiah	Isa	23	10	1	Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;

Isaiah	Isa	23	16	10	And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease.

Isaiah	Isa	23	19	16	In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	19	17	And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that maketh mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he hath determined against it.

Isaiah	Isa	23	19	20	And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	19	21	And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.

Isaiah	Isa	23	19	25	Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
Isaiah	Isa	23	20	1	In the year that Tartan came unto Ashdod, (when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him,) and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
Isaiah	Isa	23	20	2	At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
Isaiah	Isa	23	20	3	And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;
Isaiah	Isa	23	20	4	So shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners, and the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, even with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
Isaiah	Isa	23	20	5	And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

Isaiah	Isa	23	21	1	The burden of the desert of the sea. As whirlwinds in the south pass through; so it cometh from the desert, from a terrible land.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	2	A grievous vision is declared unto me; the treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam: besiege, O Media; all the sighing thereof have I made to cease.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	3	Therefore are my loins filled with pain: pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman that travaileth: I was bowed down at the hearing of it; I was dismayed at the seeing of it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	4	My heart panted, fearfulness affrighted me: the night of my pleasure hath he turned into fear unto me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	5	Prepare the table, watch in the watchtower, eat, drink: arise, ye princes, and anoint the shield.

Isaiah	Isa	23	21	7	And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he hearkened diligently with much heed:
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	8	And he cried, A lion: My lord, I stand continually upon the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my ward whole nights:
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	9	And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, with a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	10	O my threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, have I declared unto you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	11	The burden of Dumah. He calleth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	12	The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night: if ye will enquire, enquire ye: return, come.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	13	The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	14	The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	15	For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	16	For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
Isaiah	Isa	23	21	17	And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	1	The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	2	Thou that art full of stirs, a tumultuous city, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	3	All thy rulers are fled together, they are bound by the archers: all that are found in thee are bound together, which have fled from far.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	4	Therefore said I, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly, labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	5	For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord GOD of hosts in the valley of vision, breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	6	And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	7	And it shall come to pass, that thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	8	And he discovered the covering of Judah, and thou didst look in that day to the armour of the house of the forest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	9	Ye have seen also the breaches of the city of David, that they are many: and ye gathered together the waters of the lower pool.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	10	And ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses have ye broken down to fortify the wall.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	11	Ye made also a ditch between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not looked unto the maker thereof, neither had respect unto him that fashioned it long ago.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	12	And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth:
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	13	And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	14	And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	15	Thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say,
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	16	What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock?
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	17	Behold, the LORD will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	18	He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy lord's house.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	19	And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	20	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	21	And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	22	And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	23	And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	24	And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons.
Isaiah	Isa	23	22	25	In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	1	The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	2	Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	3	And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	4	Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	5	As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	6	Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	7	Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	8	Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth?
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	9	The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	10	Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	11	He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the LORD hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	12	And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	13	Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	14	Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	15	And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	16	Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	17	And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	23	18	And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	1	Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	2	And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	3	The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	4	The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	5	The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	6	Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	7	The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	8	The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	9	They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	10	The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	11	There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	12	In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	13	When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	14	They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	15	Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	16	From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	17	Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	18	And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	19	The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	20	The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	21	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	22	And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Isaiah	Isa	23	24	23	Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	1	O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	2	For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	3	Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	4	For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	5	Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	6	And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	7	And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	8	He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	9	And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	10	For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	11	And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	25	12	And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	1	In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	2	Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	3	Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	4	Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	5	For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	6	The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	7	The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	8	Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	9	With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	10	Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	11	LORD, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	12	LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	13	O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	14	They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	15	Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	16	LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	17	Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	18	We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	19	Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	20	Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
Isaiah	Isa	23	26	21	For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	1	In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	2	In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	3	I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	4	Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	5	Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	6	He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	7	Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	8	In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	9	By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	10	Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	11	When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	12	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	27	13	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	1	Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower, which are on the head of the fat valleys of them that are overcome with wine!
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	2	Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail and a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty waters overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	3	The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trodden under feet:
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	4	And the glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be a fading flower, and as the hasty fruit before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	5	In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a diadem of beauty, unto the residue of his people,
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	6	And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn the battle to the gate.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	7	But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	8	For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	9	Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	10	For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	11	For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	12	To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	13	But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	14	Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	15	Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	16	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	17	Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	18	And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	19	From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	20	For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	21	For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	22	Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	23	Give ye ear, and hear my voice; hearken, and hear my speech.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	24	Doth the plowman plow all day to sow? doth he open and break the clods of his ground?
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	25	When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed barley and the rie in their place?
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	26	For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	27	For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the cummin with a rod.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	28	Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horsemen.
Isaiah	Isa	23	28	29	This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	1	Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! add ye year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	2	Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be unto me as Ariel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	3	And I will camp against thee round about, and will lay siege against thee with a mount, and I will raise forts against thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	4	And thou shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	5	Moreover the multitude of thy strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passeth away: yea, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	6	Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	7	And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her munition, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	8	It shall even be as when an hungry man dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul hath appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	9	Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	10	For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	11	And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	12	And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	13	Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	14	Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	15	Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	16	Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	17	Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	18	And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	19	The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	20	For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	21	That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	22	Therefore thus saith the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	23	But when he seeth his children, the work of mine hands, in the midst of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	29	24	They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	1	Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	2	That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	3	Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	4	For his princes were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	5	They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	6	The burden of the beasts of the south: into the land of trouble and anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	7	For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	8	Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	9	That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	10	Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	11	Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	12	Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	13	Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	14	And he shall break it as the breaking of the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces; he shall not spare: so that there shall not be found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water withal out of the pit.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	15	For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	16	But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	17	One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee: till ye be left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on an hill.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	18	And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	19	For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	20	And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction, yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	21	And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	22	Ye shall defile also the covering of thy graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou shalt cast them away as a menstruous cloth; thou shalt say unto it, Get thee hence.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	23	Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	24	The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	25	And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	26	Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	27	Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	28	And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	29	Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the LORD, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	30	And the LORD shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	31	For through the voice of the LORD shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	32	And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass, which the LORD shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps: and in battles of shaking will he fight with it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	30	33	For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large: the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	1	Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	2	Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	3	Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	4	For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	5	As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	6	Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	7	For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	8	Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.
Isaiah	Isa	23	31	9	And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	1	Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	2	And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	3	And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	4	The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	5	The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	6	For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	7	The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	8	But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	9	Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters; give ear unto my speech.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	10	Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women: for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	11	Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	12	They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	13	Upon the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	14	Because the palaces shall be forsaken; the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	15	Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	16	Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	17	And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	18	And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	19	When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city shall be low in a low place.
Isaiah	Isa	23	32	20	Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	1	Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	2	O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	3	At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	4	And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	5	The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	6	And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	7	Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	8	The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	9	The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	10	Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	11	Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	12	And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	13	Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	14	The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	15	He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	16	He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	17	Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	18	Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	19	Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	20	Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	21	But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	22	For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	23	Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
Isaiah	Isa	23	33	24	And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	1	Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	2	For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	3	Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	4	And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	5	For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	6	The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	7	And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	8	For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	9	And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	10	It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	11	But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	12	They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	13	And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	14	The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	15	There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	16	Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	34	17	And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	1	The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	2	It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	3	Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	4	Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	5	Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	6	Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	7	And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	8	And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	9	No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
Isaiah	Isa	23	35	10	And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	1	Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	2	And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	3	Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	4	And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	5	I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	6	Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	7	But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	8	Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	9	How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	10	And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	11	Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	12	But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	13	Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	14	Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	15	Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	16	Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	17	Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	18	Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	19	Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	20	Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	21	But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	36	22	Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	1	And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	2	And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	3	And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	4	It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	5	So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	6	And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	7	Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	8	So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	9	And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	10	Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	11	Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	12	Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	13	Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	14	And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	15	And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	16	O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	17	Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	18	Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	19	And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	20	Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	21	Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	22	This is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	23	Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	24	By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	25	I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	26	Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	27	Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	28	But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	29	Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	30	And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	31	And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	32	For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	33	Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	34	By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	35	For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	36	Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	37	So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Isaiah	Isa	23	37	38	And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	1	In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	2	Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	3	And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	4	Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	5	Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	6	And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	7	And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken;
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	8	Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	9	The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	10	I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	11	I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	12	Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	13	I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	14	Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	15	What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	16	O LORD, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	17	Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	18	For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	19	The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	20	The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	21	For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover.
Isaiah	Isa	23	38	22	Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	1	At that time Merodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah: for he had heard that he had been sick, and was recovered.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	2	And Hezekiah was glad of them, and shewed them the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	3	Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	4	Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	5	Then said Isaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD of hosts:
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	6	Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	7	And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
Isaiah	Isa	23	39	8	Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the LORD which thou hast spoken. He said moreover, For there shall be peace and truth in my days.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	1	Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	2	Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD's hand double for all her sins.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	3	The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	4	Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	5	And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	6	The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	7	The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	8	The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	9	O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	10	Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	11	He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	12	Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	13	Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	14	With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	15	Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	16	And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	17	All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	18	To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	19	The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	20	He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	21	Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	22	It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	23	That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	24	Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	25	To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	26	Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	27	Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	28	Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	29	He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	30	Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Isaiah	Isa	23	40	31	But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	1	Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near together to judgment.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	2	Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	3	He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	4	Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	5	The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	6	They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	7	So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	8	But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	9	Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	10	Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	11	Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	12	Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	13	For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	14	Fear not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the LORD, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	15	Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	16	Thou shalt fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and thou shalt rejoice in the LORD, and shalt glory in the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	17	When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	18	I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	19	I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together:
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	20	That they may see, and know, and consider, and understand together, that the hand of the LORD hath done this, and the Holy One of Israel hath created it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	21	Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	22	Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	23	Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	24	Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	25	I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	26	Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	27	The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	28	For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
Isaiah	Isa	23	41	29	Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	1	Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	2	He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	3	A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	4	He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	5	Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	6	I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	7	To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	8	I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	9	Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	10	Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	11	Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	12	Let them give glory unto the LORD, and declare his praise in the islands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	13	The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	14	I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	15	I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	16	And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	17	They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	18	Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	19	Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	20	Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	21	The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	22	But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	23	Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	24	Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
Isaiah	Isa	23	42	25	Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	1	But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	2	When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	3	For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	4	Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	5	Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	6	I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	7	Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	8	Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	9	Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	10	Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	11	I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	12	I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

Isaiah	Isa	23	43	16	Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	17	Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	18	Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	19	Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	20	The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	21	This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	22	But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	23	Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	24	Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	25	I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	26	Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	27	Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	43	28	Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Isaiah	Isa	23	44	2	Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	3	For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	4	And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	5	One shall say, I am the LORD's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the LORD, and surname himself by the name of Israel.

Isaiah	Isa	23	44	8	Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	9	They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	10	Who hath formed a god, or molten a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	11	Behold, all his fellows shall be ashamed: and the workmen, they are of men: let them all be gathered together, let them stand up; yet they shall fear, and they shall be ashamed together.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	12	The smith with the tongs both worketh in the coals, and fashioneth it with hammers, and worketh it with the strength of his arms: yea, he is hungry, and his strength faileth: he drinketh no water, and is faint.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	13	The carpenter stretcheth out his rule; he marketh it out with a line; he fitteth it with planes, and he marketh it out with the compass, and maketh it after the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man; that it may remain in the house.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	14	He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	15	Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	16	He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire:
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	17	And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	18	They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	19	And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	20	He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	21	Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	22	I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	23	Sing, O ye heavens; for the LORD hath done it: shout, ye lower parts of the earth: break forth into singing, ye mountains, O forest, and every tree therein: for the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and glorified himself in Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	24	Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	25	That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish;
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	26	That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	27	That saith to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up thy rivers:
Isaiah	Isa	23	44	28	That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure: even saying to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be built; and to the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Isaiah	Isa	23	45	3	And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	4	For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	5	I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	6	That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	7	I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	8	Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	9	Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	10	Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Isaiah	Isa	23	45	15	Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, O God of Israel, the Saviour.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	16	They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	17	But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	18	For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	19	I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	20	Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	21	Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	45	22	Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Isaiah	Isa	23	45	25	In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	1	Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	2	They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	3	Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	4	And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	5	To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	6	They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	7	They bear him upon the shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor save him out of his trouble.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	8	Remember this, and shew yourselves men: bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	9	Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	10	Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	11	Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	12	Hearken unto me, ye stouthearted, that are far from righteousness:
Isaiah	Isa	23	46	13	I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	1	Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	2	Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	3	Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	4	As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	5	Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	6	I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	7	And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	8	Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	9	But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	10	For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	11	Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	12	Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	13	Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	14	Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	47	15	Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	1	Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the LORD, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	2	For they call themselves of the holy city, and stay themselves upon the God of Israel; The LORD of hosts is his name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	3	I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I shewed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	4	Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass;
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	5	I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I shewed it thee: lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	6	Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	7	They are created now, and not from the beginning; even before the day when thou heardest them not; lest thou shouldest say, Behold, I knew them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	8	Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	9	For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	10	Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	11	For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	12	Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	13	Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	14	All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which among them hath declared these things? The LORD hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	15	I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: I have brought him, and he shall make his way prosperous.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	16	Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	17	Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	18	O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	19	Thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof; his name should not have been cut off nor destroyed from before me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	20	Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	21	And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them: he clave the rock also, and the waters gushed out.
Isaiah	Isa	23	48	22	There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	1	Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	2	And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he hid me;
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	3	And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	4	Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	5	And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	6	And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	7	Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	8	Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	9	That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	10	They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	11	And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	12	Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	13	Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.

Isaiah	Isa	23	49	19	For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	20	The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.
Isaiah	Isa	23	49	21	Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

Isaiah	Isa	23	50	2	Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
Isaiah	Isa	23	50	3	I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

Isaiah	Isa	23	50	8	He is near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary? let him come near to me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	50	9	Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up.
Isaiah	Isa	23	50	10	Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	50	11	Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	1	Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	2	Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	3	For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	4	Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	5	My righteousness is near; my salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	6	Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	7	Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	8	For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation from generation to generation.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	9	Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the LORD; awake, as in the ancient days, in the generations of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, and wounded the dragon?
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	10	Art thou not it which hath dried the sea, the waters of the great deep; that hath made the depths of the sea a way for the ransomed to pass over?
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	11	Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	12	I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass;
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	13	And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	14	The captive exile hasteneth that he may be loosed, and that he should not die in the pit, nor that his bread should fail.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	15	But I am the LORD thy God, that divided the sea, whose waves roared: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	16	And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	17	Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	18	There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	19	These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	20	Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	21	Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	22	Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:
Isaiah	Isa	23	51	23	But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	1	Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	2	Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	3	For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	4	For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	5	Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	6	Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	7	How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	8	Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	9	Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	10	The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	11	Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	12	For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	13	Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	14	As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Isaiah	Isa	23	52	15	So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	1	Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	2	For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	3	He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	4	Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	5	But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	6	All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	7	He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	8	He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	9	And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	10	Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	11	He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
Isaiah	Isa	23	53	12	Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	1	Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	2	Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	3	For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	4	Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	5	For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	6	For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	7	For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	8	In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	9	For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	10	For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	11	O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	12	And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	13	And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	14	In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	15	Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	16	Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
Isaiah	Isa	23	54	17	No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	1	Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	2	Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	3	Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	4	Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	5	Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	6	Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	7	Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	8	For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	9	For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	10	For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	11	So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	12	For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	55	13	Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	1	Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	2	Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	3	Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	4	For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	5	Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	6	Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	7	Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	8	The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	9	All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	10	His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	11	Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Isaiah	Isa	23	56	12	Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	1	The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	2	He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	3	But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	4	Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	5	Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	6	Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	7	Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	8	Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	9	And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	10	Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	11	And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	12	I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	13	When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	14	And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	15	For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	16	For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	17	For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	18	I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	19	I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD; and I will heal him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	20	But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Isaiah	Isa	23	57	21	There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	1	Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	2	Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	3	Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	4	Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	5	Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	6	Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	7	Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	8	Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	9	Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	10	And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day:
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	11	And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	12	And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	13	If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
Isaiah	Isa	23	58	14	Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	1	Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	2	But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	3	For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	4	None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	5	They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	6	Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	7	Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	8	The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	9	Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	10	We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	11	We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	12	For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	13	In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	14	And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	15	Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	16	And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	17	For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	18	According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	19	So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	20	And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	59	21	As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.
Isaiah	Isa	23	60	1	Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	60	2	For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
Isaiah	Isa	23	60	3	And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Isaiah	Isa	23	60	4	Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side.

Isaiah	Isa	23	61	2	To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Isaiah	Isa	23	61	3	To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

Isaiah	Isa	23	63	4	For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
Isaiah	Isa	23	63	5	And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.

Isaiah	Isa	23	63	7	I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.

Isaiah	Isa	23	63	11	Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Isaiah	Isa	23	63	12	That led them by the right hand of Moses with his glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make himself an everlasting name?
Isaiah	Isa	23	63	13	That led them through the deep, as an horse in the wilderness, that they should not stumble?

Isaiah	Isa	23	63	18	The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Isaiah	Isa	23	63	19	We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	1	Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	2	As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	3	When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	4	For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	5	Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	6	But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	7	And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	8	But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	9	Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	10	Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	11	Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste.
Isaiah	Isa	23	64	12	Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	1	I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	2	I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	3	A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	4	Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	5	Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	6	Behold, it is written before me: I will not keep silence, but will recompense, even recompense into their bosom,
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	7	Your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	8	Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	9	And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	10	And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	11	But ye are they that forsake the LORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	12	Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	13	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed:
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	14	Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	15	And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	16	That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	17	For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	18	But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	19	And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	20	There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	21	And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	22	They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	23	They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	24	And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
Isaiah	Isa	23	65	25	The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	1	Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	2	For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	3	He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swine's blood; he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	4	I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	5	Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	6	A voice of noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that rendereth recompence to his enemies.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	7	Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	8	Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	9	Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	10	Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	11	That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	12	For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	13	As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	14	And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	15	For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	16	For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	17	They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	18	For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	19	And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	20	And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	21	And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	22	For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	23	And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
Isaiah	Isa	23	66	24	And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	1	The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	2	To whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	3	It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah king of Judah, unto the carrying away of Jerusalem captive in the fifth month.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	4	Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	5	Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	6	Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	7	But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	8	Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	9	Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	10	See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	11	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	12	Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	13	And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying, What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot; and the face thereof is toward the north.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	14	Then the LORD said unto me, Out of the north an evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	15	For, lo, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, saith the LORD; and they shall come, and they shall set every one his throne at the entering of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all the walls thereof round about, and against all the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	16	And I will utter my judgments against them touching all their wickedness, who have forsaken me, and have burned incense unto other gods, and worshipped the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	17	Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	18	For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	1	19	And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	1	Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	2	Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	3	Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	4	Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	5	Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	6	Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	7	And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	8	The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	9	Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	10	For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	11	Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	12	Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	13	For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	14	Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	15	The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	16	Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	17	Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	18	And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	19	Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	20	For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	21	Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	22	For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	23	How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	24	A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	25	Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	26	As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	27	Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	28	But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	29	Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	30	In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	31	O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	32	Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	33	Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	34	Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	35	Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	36	Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	2	37	Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	1	They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	2	Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lien with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	3	Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter rain; and thou hadst a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	4	Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	5	Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	6	The LORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	7	And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	8	And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	9	And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	10	And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	11	And the LORD said unto me, The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	12	Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	13	Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	14	Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	15	And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	16	And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	17	At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	18	In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	19	But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	20	Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	21	A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	22	Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	23	Truly in vain is salvation hoped for from the hills, and from the multitude of mountains: truly in the LORD our God is the salvation of Israel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	24	For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	3	25	We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	1	If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	2	And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	3	For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	4	Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	5	Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	6	Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	7	The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	8	For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	9	And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	10	Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	11	At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	12	Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	13	Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	14	O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	15	For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	16	Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	17	As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	18	Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	19	My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	20	Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	21	How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	22	For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	23	I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	24	I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	25	I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	26	I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	27	For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	28	For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	29	The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	30	And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	4	31	For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	1	Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	2	And though they say, The LORD liveth; surely they swear falsely.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	3	O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	4	Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the LORD, nor the judgment of their God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	5	I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the LORD, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	6	Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	7	How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	8	They were as fed horses in the morning: every one neighed after his neighbour's wife.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	9	Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	10	Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	11	For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	12	They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he; neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see sword nor famine:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	13	And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	14	Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	15	Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD: it is a mighty nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	16	Their quiver is as an open sepulchre, they are all mighty men.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	17	And they shall eat up thine harvest, and thy bread, which thy sons and thy daughters should eat: they shall eat up thy flocks and thine herds: they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig trees: they shall impoverish thy fenced cities, wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	18	Nevertheless in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	19	And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	20	Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	21	Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	22	Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	23	But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	24	Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	25	Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	26	For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	27	As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	28	They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	29	Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	30	A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	5	31	The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	1	O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem: for evil appeareth out of the north, and great destruction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	2	I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate woman.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	3	The shepherds with their flocks shall come unto her; they shall pitch their tents against her round about; they shall feed every one in his place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	4	Prepare ye war against her; arise, and let us go up at noon. Woe unto us! for the day goeth away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	5	Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	6	For thus hath the LORD of hosts said, Hew ye down trees, and cast a mount against Jerusalem: this is the city to be visited; she is wholly oppression in the midst of her.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	7	As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	8	Be thou instructed, O Jerusalem, lest my soul depart from thee; lest I make thee desolate, a land not inhabited.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	9	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	10	To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	11	Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	12	And their houses shall be turned unto others, with their fields and wives together: for I will stretch out my hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	13	For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	14	They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	15	Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	16	Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	17	Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	18	Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	19	Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	20	To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country? your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices sweet unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	21	Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	22	Thus saith the LORD, Behold, a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	23	They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of Zion.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	24	We have heard the fame thereof: our hands wax feeble: anguish hath taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in travail.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	25	Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way; for the sword of the enemy and fear is on every side.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	26	O daughter of my people, gird thee with sackcloth, and wallow thyself in ashes: make thee mourning, as for an only son, most bitter lamentation: for the spoiler shall suddenly come upon us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	27	I have set thee for a tower and a fortress among my people, that thou mayest know and try their way.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	28	They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	29	The bellows are burned, the lead is consumed of the fire; the founder melteth in vain: for the wicked are not plucked away.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	6	30	Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	1	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	2	Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	3	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	4	Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	5	For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	6	If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	7	Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	8	Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	9	Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	10	And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	11	Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	12	But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	13	And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	14	Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	15	And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	16	Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	17	Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	18	The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	19	Do they provoke me to anger? saith the LORD: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	20	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	21	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	22	For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	23	But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	24	But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	25	Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	26	Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	27	Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	28	But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	29	Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	30	For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	31	And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	32	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	33	And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	7	34	Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	1	At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	2	And they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and whom they have worshipped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried; they shall be for dung upon the face of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	3	And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue of them that remain of this evil family, which remain in all the places whither I have driven them, saith the LORD of hosts.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	4	Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	5	Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	6	I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	7	Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	8	How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	9	The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	10	Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	11	For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	12	Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	13	I will surely consume them, saith the LORD: there shall be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	14	Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	15	We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	16	The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan: the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones; for they are come, and have devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those that dwell therein.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	17	For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	18	When I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint in me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	19	Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: Is not the LORD in Zion? is not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, and with strange vanities?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	20	The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	21	For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	8	22	Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	1	Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	2	Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	3	And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	4	Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	5	And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	6	Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	7	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	8	Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	9	Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	10	For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	11	And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	12	Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	13	And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	14	But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	15	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	16	I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	17	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	18	And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	19	For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	20	Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	21	For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	22	Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	23	Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	24	But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise loving-kindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	25	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	9	26	Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	1	Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	2	Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	3	For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	4	They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	5	They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	6	Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	7	Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	8	But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	9	Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple is their clothing: they are all the work of cunning men.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	10	But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	11	Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	12	He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	13	When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	14	Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	15	They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	16	The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	17	Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	18	For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find it so.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	19	Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	20	My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not: there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	21	For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	22	Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	23	O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	24	O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	10	25	Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	1	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	2	Hear ye the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	3	And say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the words of this covenant,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	4	Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	5	That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	6	Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear ye the words of this covenant, and do them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	7	For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	8	Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	9	And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	10	They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	11	Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	12	Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	13	For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	14	Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	15	What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	16	The LORD called thy name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	17	For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	18	And the LORD hath given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then thou shewedst me their doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	19	But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	20	But, O LORD of hosts, that judgest righteously, that triest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	21	Therefore thus saith the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek thy life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that thou die not by our hand:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	22	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	11	23	And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	1	Righteous art thou, O LORD, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	2	Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	3	But thou, O LORD, knowest me: thou hast seen me, and tried mine heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	4	How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of every field wither, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein? the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our last end.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	5	If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	6	For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	7	I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	8	Mine heritage is unto me as a lion in the forest; it crieth out against me: therefore have I hated it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	9	Mine heritage is unto me as a speckled bird, the birds round about are against her; come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, come to devour.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	10	Many pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	11	They have made it desolate, and being desolate it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	12	The spoilers are come upon all high places through the wilderness: for the sword of the LORD shall devour from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh shall have peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	13	They have sown wheat, but shall reap thorns: they have put themselves to pain, but shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	14	Thus saith the LORD against all mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	15	And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	16	And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	12	17	But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	1	Thus saith the LORD unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	2	So I got a girdle according to the word of the LORD, and put it on my loins.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	3	And the word of the LORD came unto me the second time, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	4	Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	5	So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the LORD commanded me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	6	And it came to pass after many days, that the LORD said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	7	Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	8	Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	9	Thus saith the LORD, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	10	This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	11	For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, saith the LORD; that they might be unto me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	12	Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	13	Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	14	And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the LORD: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	15	Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	16	Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	17	But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD's flock is carried away captive.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	18	Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	19	The cities of the south shall be shut up, and none shall open them: Judah shall be carried away captive all of it, it shall be wholly carried away captive.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	20	Lift up your eyes, and behold them that come from the north: where is the flock that was given thee, thy beautiful flock?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	21	What wilt thou say when he shall punish thee? for thou hast taught them to be captains, and as chief over thee: shall not sorrows take thee, as a woman in travail?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	22	And if thou say in thine heart, Wherefore come these things upon me? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts discovered, and thy heels made bare.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	23	Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	24	Therefore will I scatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	25	This is thy lot, the portion of thy measures from me, saith the LORD; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	26	Therefore will I discover thy skirts upon thy face, that thy shame may appear.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	13	27	I have seen thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, and thine abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! wilt thou not be made clean? when shall it once be?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	1	The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	2	Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	3	And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	4	Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	5	Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	6	And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	7	O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	8	O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	9	Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	10	Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	11	Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	12	When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	13	Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	14	Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	15	Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	16	And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	17	Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	18	If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	19	Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	20	We acknowledge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	21	Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	14	22	Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	1	Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	2	And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	3	And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	4	And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	5	For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask how thou doest?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	6	Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	7	And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	8	Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	9	She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	10	Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	11	The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat thee well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	12	Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	13	Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	14	And I will make thee to pass with thine enemies into a land which thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	15	O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	16	Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	17	I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	18	Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	19	Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	20	And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	15	21	And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	1	The word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	2	Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	3	For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	4	They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	5	For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even loving-kindness and mercies.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	6	Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	7	Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	8	Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	9	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	10	And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	11	Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	12	And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	13	Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other gods day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	14	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	15	But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	16	Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	17	For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	18	And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	19	O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	20	Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	16	21	Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	1	The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	2	Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	3	O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places for sin, throughout all thy borders.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	4	And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	5	Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	6	For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	7	Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	8	For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	9	The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	10	I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	11	As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	12	A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	13	O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	14	Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	15	Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	16	As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee: neither have I desired the woeful day; thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was right before thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	17	Be not a terror unto me: thou art my hope in the day of evil.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	18	Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed: bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	19	Thus said the LORD unto me; Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	20	And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	21	Thus saith the LORD; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	22	Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	23	But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	24	And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	25	Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	26	And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	17	27	But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	1	The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	2	Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	3	Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	4	And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	5	Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	6	O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	7	At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	8	If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	9	And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	10	If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	11	Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	12	And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	13	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	14	Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	15	Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	16	To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	17	I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	18	Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	19	Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	20	Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	21	Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	22	Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	18	23	Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	1	Thus saith the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the priests;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	2	And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	3	And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	4	Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	5	They have built also the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	6	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	7	And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	8	And I will make this city desolate, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	9	And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their lives, shall straiten them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	10	Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	11	And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	12	Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, and even make this city as Tophet:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	13	And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled as the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	14	Then came Jeremiah from Tophet, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD's house; and said to all the people,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	19	15	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	1	Now Pashur the son of Immer the priest, who was also chief governor in the house of the LORD, heard that Jeremiah prophesied these things.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	2	Then Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the high gate of Benjamin, which was by the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	3	And it came to pass on the morrow, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then said Jeremiah unto him, The LORD hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magormissabib.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	4	For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall behold it: and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall slay them with the sword.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	5	Moreover I will deliver all the strength of this city, and all the labours thereof, and all the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies, which shall spoil them, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	6	And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house shall go into captivity: and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buried there, thou, and all thy friends, to whom thou hast prophesied lies.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	7	O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	8	For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	9	Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	10	For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	11	But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	12	But, O LORD of hosts, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for unto thee have I opened my cause.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	13	Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	14	Cursed be the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	15	Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	16	And let that man be as the cities which the LORD overthrew, and repented not: and let him hear the cry in the morning, and the shouting at noontide;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	17	Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	20	18	Wherefore came I forth out of the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	1	The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when king Zedekiah sent unto him Pashur the son of Melchiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	2	Enquire, I pray thee, of the LORD for us; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon maketh war against us; if so be that the LORD will deal with us according to all his wondrous works, that he may go up from us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	3	Then said Jeremiah unto them, Thus shall ye say to Zedekiah:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	4	Thus saith the LORD God of Israel; Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, wherewith ye fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans, which besiege you without the walls, and I will assemble them into the midst of this city.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	5	And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	6	And I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast: they shall die of a great pestilence.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	7	And afterward, saith the LORD, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those that seek their life: and he shall smite them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, neither have pity, nor have mercy.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	8	And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	9	He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	10	For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the LORD: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	11	And touching the house of the king of Judah, say, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	12	O house of David, thus saith the LORD; Execute judgment in the morning, and deliver him that is spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor, lest my fury go out like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	13	Behold, I am against thee, O inhabitant of the valley, and rock of the plain, saith the LORD; which say, Who shall come down against us? or who shall enter into our habitations?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	21	14	But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the LORD: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof, and it shall devour all things round about it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	1	Thus saith the LORD; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	2	And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	3	Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	4	For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	5	But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	6	For thus saith the LORD unto the king's house of Judah; Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of Lebanon: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities which are not inhabited.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	7	And I will prepare destroyers against thee, every one with his weapons: and they shall cut down thy choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	8	And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	9	Then they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD their God, and worshipped other gods, and served them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	10	Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan him: but weep sore for him that goeth away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	11	For thus saith the LORD touching Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, which reigned instead of Josiah his father, which went forth out of this place; He shall not return thither any more:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	12	But he shall die in the place whither they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	13	Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's service without wages, and giveth him not for his work;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	14	That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	15	Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	16	He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	17	But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	18	Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brother! or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord! or, Ah his glory!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	19	He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	20	Go up to Lebanon, and cry; and lift up thy voice in Bashan, and cry from the passages: for all thy lovers are destroyed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	21	I spake unto thee in thy prosperity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	22	The wind shall eat up all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: surely then shalt thou be ashamed and confounded for all thy wickedness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	23	O inhabitant of Lebanon, that makest thy nest in the cedars, how gracious shalt thou be when pangs come upon thee, the pain as of a woman in travail!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	24	As I live, saith the LORD, though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet upon my right hand, yet would I pluck thee thence;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	25	And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, even into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	26	And I will cast thee out, and thy mother that bare thee, into another country, where ye were not born; and there shall ye die.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	27	But to the land whereunto they desire to return, thither shall they not return.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	28	Is this man Coniah a despised broken idol? is he a vessel wherein is no pleasure? wherefore are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	29	O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	22	30	Thus saith the LORD, Write ye this man childless, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for no man of his seed shall prosper, sitting upon the throne of David, and ruling any more in Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	1	Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	2	Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	3	And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	4	And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	5	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	6	In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	7	Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	8	But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	9	Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	10	For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their force is not right.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	11	For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	12	Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	13	And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	14	I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	15	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone forth into all the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	16	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	17	They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	18	For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	19	Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	20	The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	21	I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	22	But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	23	Am I a God at hand, saith the LORD, and not a God afar off?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	24	Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	25	I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	26	How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	27	Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	28	The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	29	Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	30	Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	31	Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	32	Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	33	And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask thee, saying, What is the burden of the LORD? thou shalt then say unto them, What burden? I will even forsake you, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	34	And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	35	Thus shall ye say every one to his neighbour, and every one to his brother, What hath the LORD answered? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	36	And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	37	Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	38	But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	39	Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	23	40	And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	1	The LORD shewed me, and, behold, two baskets of figs were set before the temple of the LORD, after that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon had carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, and the princes of Judah, with the carpenters and smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	2	One basket had very good figs, even like the figs that are first ripe: and the other basket had very naughty figs, which could not be eaten, they were so bad.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	3	Then said the LORD unto me, What seest thou, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs, very good; and the evil, very evil, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	4	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	5	Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge them that are carried away captive of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for their good.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	6	For I will set mine eyes upon them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	7	And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	8	And as the evil figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so evil; surely thus saith the LORD, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his princes, and the residue of Jerusalem, that remain in this land, and them that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	9	And I will deliver them to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places whither I shall drive them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	24	10	And I will send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, among them, till they be consumed from off the land that I gave unto them and to their fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	2	The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	3	From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	4	And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	5	They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	6	And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	7	Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	8	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	9	Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	10	Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	11	And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	12	And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	13	And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	14	For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	15	For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	16	And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	17	Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	18	To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	19	Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	20	And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	21	Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	22	And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	23	Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	24	And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	25	And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	26	And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	27	Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	28	And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	29	For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	30	Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	31	A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	32	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	33	And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	34	Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	35	And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	36	A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	37	And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	25	38	He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	1	In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	2	Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	3	If so be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	4	And thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	5	To hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I sent unto you, both rising up early, and sending them, but ye have not hearkened;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	6	Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	7	So the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	8	Now it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people took him, saying, Thou shalt surely die.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	9	Why hast thou prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate without an inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	10	When the princes of Judah heard these things, then they came up from the king's house unto the house of the LORD, and sat down in the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	11	Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	12	Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	13	Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	14	As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	15	But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	16	Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	17	Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spake to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	18	Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Zion shall be plowed like a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	19	Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him at all to death? did he not fear the LORD, and besought the LORD, and the LORD repented him of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great evil against our souls.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	20	And there was also a man that prophesied in the name of the LORD, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	21	And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	22	And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	23	And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	26	24	Nevertheless the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	1	In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	2	Thus saith the LORD to me; Make thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	3	And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers which come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	4	And command them to say unto their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say unto your masters;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	5	I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	6	And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	7	And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land come: and then many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	8	And it shall come to pass, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	9	Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	10	For they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	11	But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	12	I spake also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	13	Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	14	Therefore hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	15	For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	16	Also I spake to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	17	Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: wherefore should this city be laid waste?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	18	But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	19	For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	20	Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	21	Yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	27	22	They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	1	And it came to pass the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fourth year, and in the fifth month, that Hananiah the son of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, spake unto me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and of all the people, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	2	Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	3	Within two full years will I bring again into this place all the vessels of the LORD's house, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place, and carried them to Babylon:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	4	And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah, that went into Babylon, saith the LORD: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	5	Then the prophet Jeremiah said unto the prophet Hananiah in the presence of the priests, and in the presence of all the people that stood in the house of the LORD,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	6	Even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen: the LORD do so: the LORD perform thy words which thou hast prophesied, to bring again the vessels of the LORD's house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	7	Nevertheless hear thou now this word that I speak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	8	The prophets that have been before me and before thee of old prophesied both against many countries, and against great kingdoms, of war, and of evil, and of pestilence.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	9	The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the LORD hath truly sent him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	10	Then Hananiah the prophet took the yoke from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	11	And Hananiah spake in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the space of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	12	Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	13	Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	14	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and they shall serve him: and I have given him the beasts of the field also.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	15	Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	16	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will cast thee from off the face of the earth: this year thou shalt die, because thou hast taught rebellion against the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	28	17	So Hananiah the prophet died the same year in the seventh month.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	1	Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	2	(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	3	By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	4	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	5	Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	6	Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	7	And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	8	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	9	For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	10	For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	11	For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	12	Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	13	And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	14	And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	15	Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	16	Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	17	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	18	And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	19	Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	20	Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	21	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	22	And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	23	Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	24	Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	25	Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	26	The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	27	Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	28	For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	29	And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	30	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	31	Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	29	32	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	1	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	2	Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	3	For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	4	And these are the words that the LORD spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	5	For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	6	Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	7	Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	8	For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	9	But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	10	Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	11	For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	12	For thus saith the LORD, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy wound is grievous.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	13	There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	14	All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	15	Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	16	Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	17	For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	18	Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his dwellingplaces; and the city shall be builded upon her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	19	And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	20	Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	21	And their nobles shall be of themselves, and their governor shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto me: for who is this that engaged his heart to approach unto me? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	22	And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	23	Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	30	24	The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	1	At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	2	Thus saith the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	3	The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	4	Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	5	Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	6	For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	7	For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	8	Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	9	They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	10	Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	11	For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	12	Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	13	Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	14	And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	15	Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	16	Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	17	And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	18	I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	19	Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	20	Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	21	Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	22	How long wilt thou go about, O thou backsliding daughter? for the LORD hath created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass a man.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	23	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless thee, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	24	And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	25	For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	26	Upon this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	27	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed of beast.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	28	And it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	29	In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	30	But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	31	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	32	Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	33	But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	34	And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	35	Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	36	If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	37	Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	38	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel unto the gate of the corner.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	39	And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it upon the hill Gareb, and shall compass about to Goath.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	31	40	And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	1	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	2	For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	3	For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore dost thou prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	4	And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	5	And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, saith the LORD: though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	6	And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	7	Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	8	So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	9	And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	10	And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	11	So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	12	And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	13	And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	14	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	15	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	16	Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	17	Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	18	Thou shewest loving-kindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	19	Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	20	Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	21	And hast brought forth thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	22	And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	23	And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	24	Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken is come to pass; and, behold, thou seest it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	25	And thou hast said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	26	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	27	Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	28	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	29	And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	30	For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	31	For this city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	32	Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	33	And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	34	But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	35	And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	36	And now therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof ye say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	37	Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	38	And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	39	And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	40	And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	41	Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	42	For thus saith the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	43	And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	32	44	Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	1	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	2	Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	3	Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	4	For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	5	They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	6	Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	7	And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	8	And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	9	And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	10	Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	11	The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	12	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	13	In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	14	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	15	In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	16	In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	17	For thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	18	Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	19	And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	20	Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	21	Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	22	As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	23	Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	24	Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	25	Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	33	26	Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	1	The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth of his dominion, and all the people, fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities thereof, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	2	Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Go and speak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	3	And thou shalt not escape out of his hand, but shalt surely be taken, and delivered into his hand; and thine eyes shall behold the eyes of the king of Babylon, and he shall speak with thee mouth to mouth, and thou shalt go to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	4	Yet hear the word of the LORD, O Zedekiah king of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of thee, Thou shalt not die by the sword:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	5	But thou shalt die in peace: and with the burnings of thy fathers, the former kings which were before thee, so shall they burn odours for thee; and they will lament thee, saying, Ah lord! for I have pronounced the word, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	6	Then Jeremiah the prophet spake all these words unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerusalem,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	7	When the king of Babylon's army fought against Jerusalem, and against all the cities of Judah that were left, against Lachish, and against Azekah: for these defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	8	This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	9	That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	10	Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	11	But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	12	Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	13	Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	14	At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	15	And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a covenant before me in the house which is called by my name:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	16	But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	17	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ye have not hearkened unto me, in proclaiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the LORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	18	And I will give the men that have transgressed my covenant, which have not performed the words of the covenant which they had made before me, when they cut the calf in twain, and passed between the parts thereof,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	19	The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	20	I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	21	And Zedekiah king of Judah and his princes will I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	34	22	Behold, I will command, saith the LORD, and cause them to return to this city; and they shall fight against it, and take it, and burn it with fire: and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	1	The word which came unto Jeremiah from the LORD in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	2	Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the LORD, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	3	Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	4	And I brought them into the house of the LORD, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of God, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	5	And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	6	But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons for ever:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	7	Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any: but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	8	Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	9	Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	10	But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	11	But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	12	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	13	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	14	The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	15	I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	16	Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	17	Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	18	And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	35	19	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	1	And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	2	Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	3	It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	4	Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	5	And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	6	Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD's house upon the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	7	It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	8	And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD's house.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	9	And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	10	Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entry of the new gate of the LORD's house, in the ears of all the people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	11	When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	12	Then he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	13	Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	14	Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	15	And they said unto him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	16	Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and other, and said unto Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	17	And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	18	Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	19	Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	20	And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	21	So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	22	Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	23	And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	24	Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	25	Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	26	But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	27	Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	28	Take thee again another roll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burned.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	29	And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this roll, saying, Why hast thou written therein, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	30	Therefore thus saith the LORD of Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	31	And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	36	32	Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote therein from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were added besides unto them many like words.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	1	And king Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	2	But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	3	And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	4	Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	5	Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed from Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	6	Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	7	Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to enquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh's army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	8	And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	9	Thus saith the LORD; Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	10	For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	11	And it came to pass, that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh's army,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	12	Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself thence in the midst of the people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	13	And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he took Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	14	Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not to him: so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	15	Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	16	When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon, and into the cabins, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	17	Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him out: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is: for, said he, thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	18	Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, What have I offended against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	19	Where are now your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	20	Therefore hear now, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	37	21	Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they should commit Jeremiah into the court of the prison, and that they should give him daily a piece of bread out of the bakers' street, until all the bread in the city were spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	1	Then Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and Jucal the son of Shelemiah, and Pashur the son of Malchiah, heard the words that Jeremiah had spoken unto all the people, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	2	Thus saith the LORD, He that remaineth in this city shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth forth to the Chaldeans shall live; for he shall have his life for a prey, and shall live.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	3	Thus saith the LORD, This city shall surely be given into the hand of the king of Babylon's army, which shall take it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	4	Therefore the princes said unto the king, We beseech thee, let this man be put to death: for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	5	Then Zedekiah the king said, Behold, he is in your hand: for the king is not he that can do any thing against you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	6	Then took they Jeremiah, and cast him into the dungeon of Malchiah the son of Hammelech, that was in the court of the prison: and they let down Jeremiah with cords. And in the dungeon there was no water, but mire: so Jeremiah sunk in the mire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	7	Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of the eunuchs which was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon; the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	8	Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spake to the king, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	9	My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is like to die for hunger in the place where he is: for there is no more bread in the city.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	10	Then the king commanded Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Take from hence thirty men with thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the dungeon, before he die.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	11	So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence old cast clouts and old rotten rags, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	12	And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these old cast clouts and rotten rags under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	13	So they drew up Jeremiah with cords, and took him up out of the dungeon: and Jeremiah remained in the court of the prison.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	14	Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet unto him into the third entry that is in the house of the LORD: and the king said unto Jeremiah, I will ask thee a thing; hide nothing from me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	15	Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, wilt thou not hearken unto me?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	16	So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As the LORD liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	17	Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; If thou wilt assuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thine house:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	18	But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and thou shalt not escape out of their hand.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	19	And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	20	But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the LORD, which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well unto thee, and thy soul shall live.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	21	But if thou refuse to go forth, this is the word that the LORD hath shewed me:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	22	And, behold, all the women that are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Thy friends have set thee on, and have prevailed against thee: thy feet are sunk in the mire, and they are turned away back.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	23	So they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans: and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	24	Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	25	But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king, hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	26	Then thou shalt say unto them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	27	Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, and asked him: and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	38	28	So Jeremiah abode in the court of the prison until the day that Jerusalem was taken: and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	1	In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	2	And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth day of the month, the city was broken up.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	3	And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, even Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	4	And it came to pass, that when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	5	But the Chaldeans' army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	6	Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	7	Moreover he put out Zedekiah's eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	8	And the Chaldeans burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	9	Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	10	But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	11	Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	12	Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	13	So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rabsaris, and Nergalsharezer, Rabmag, and all the king of Babylon's princes;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	14	Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	15	Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	16	Go and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	17	But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	39	18	For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	1	The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all that were carried away captive of Jerusalem and Judah, which were carried away captive unto Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	2	And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and said unto him, The LORD thy God hath pronounced this evil upon this place.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	3	Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	4	And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	5	Now while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	6	Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	7	Now when all the captains of the forces which were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed unto him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	8	Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	9	And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan sware unto them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	10	As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, which will come unto us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	11	Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	12	Even all the Jews returned out of all places whither they were driven, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits very much.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	13	Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	14	And said unto him, Dost thou certainly know that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath sent Ishmael the son of Nethaniah to slay thee? But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam believed them not.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	15	Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	40	16	But Gedaliah the son of Ahikam said unto Johanan the son of Kareah, Thou shalt not do this thing: for thou speakest falsely of Ishmael.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	1	Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they did eat bread together in Mizpah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	2	Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	3	Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	4	And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	5	That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	6	And Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went forth from Mizpah to meet them, weeping all along as he went: and it came to pass, as he met them, he said unto them, Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	7	And it was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah slew them, and cast them into the midst of the pit, he, and the men that were with him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	8	But ten men were found among them that said unto Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbare, and slew them not among their brethren.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	9	Now the pit wherein Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was it which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	10	Then Ishmael carried away captive all the residue of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had committed to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the Ammonites.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	11	But when Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of all the evil that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had done,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	12	Then they took all the men, and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and found him by the great waters that are in Gibeon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	13	Now it came to pass, that when all the people which were with Ishmael saw Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, then they were glad.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	14	So all the people that Ishmael had carried away captive from Mizpah cast about and returned, and went unto Johanan the son of Kareah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	15	But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	16	Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces that were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	17	And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter into Egypt,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	41	18	Because of the Chaldeans: for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael the son of Nethaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon made governor in the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	1	Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	2	And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	3	That the LORD thy God may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	4	Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	5	Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	6	Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	7	And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	8	Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	9	And said unto them, Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	10	If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	11	Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	12	And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	13	But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	14	Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	15	And now therefore hear the word of the LORD, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	16	Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	17	So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	18	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	19	The LORD hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	20	For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us unto the LORD our God; and according unto all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	21	And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	42	22	Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	1	And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	2	Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	3	But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	4	So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	5	But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	6	Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	7	So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	8	Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	9	Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	10	And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	11	And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	12	And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	43	13	He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	1	The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	2	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	3	Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	4	Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	5	But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	6	Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	7	Therefore now thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	8	In that ye provoke me unto wrath with the works of your hands, burning incense unto other gods in the land of Egypt, whither ye be gone to dwell, that ye might cut yourselves off, and that ye might be a curse and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	9	Have ye forgotten the wickedness of your fathers, and the wickedness of the kings of Judah, and the wickedness of their wives, and your own wickedness, and the wickedness of your wives, which they have committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	10	They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	11	Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will set my face against you for evil, and to cut off all Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	12	And I will take the remnant of Judah, that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	13	For I will punish them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	14	So that none of the remnant of Judah, which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain, that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return to dwell there: for none shall return but such as shall escape.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	15	Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	16	As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	17	But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	18	But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	19	And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	20	Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	21	The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	22	So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	23	Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	24	Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	25	Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	26	Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	27	Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	28	Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	29	And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	44	30	Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	45	1	The word that Jeremiah the prophet spake unto Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a book at the mouth of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, saying,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	45	2	Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, unto thee, O Baruch:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	45	3	Thou didst say, Woe is me now! for the LORD hath added grief to my sorrow; I fainted in my sighing, and I find no rest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	45	4	Thus shalt thou say unto him, The LORD saith thus; Behold, that which I have built will I break down, and that which I have planted I will pluck up, even this whole land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	45	5	And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek them not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	1	The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	2	Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	3	Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	4	Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	5	Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	6	Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	46	7	Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?

Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	2	And will send unto Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	3	Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his brigandine: and spare ye not her young men; destroy ye utterly all her host.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	4	Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	5	For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	6	Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	7	Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	8	Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	9	We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	10	The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	11	Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	12	Set up the standard upon the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD hath both devised and done that which he spake against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	13	O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	14	The LORD of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill thee with men, as with caterpillers; and they shall lift up a shout against thee.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	15	He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	16	When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	17	Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	18	They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	19	The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	20	Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	21	And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	22	With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	23	I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	24	And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	25	Behold, I am against thee, O destroying mountain, saith the LORD, which destroyest all the earth: and I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	26	And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	27	Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	28	Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	29	And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	30	The mighty men of Babylon have forborn to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might hath failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwellingplaces; her bars are broken.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	31	One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to shew the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	32	And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	33	For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshingfloor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	34	Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel, he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	35	The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	36	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	37	And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwellingplace for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	38	They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions' whelps.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	39	In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	40	I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	41	How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	42	The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	43	Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth any son of man pass thereby.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	44	And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	45	My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	46	And lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; a rumour shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	47	Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	48	Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come unto her from the north, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	49	As Babylon hath caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	50	Ye that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	51	We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD's house.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	52	Wherefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will do judgment upon her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	53	Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the LORD.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	54	A sound of a cry cometh from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	55	Because the LORD hath spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	56	Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompences shall surely requite.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	57	And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	58	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labour in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	59	The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	60	So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	61	And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words;
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	62	Then shalt thou say, O LORD, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	63	And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	51	64	And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	1	Zedekiah was one and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	2	And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	3	For through the anger of the LORD it came to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had cast them out from his presence, that Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	4	And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	5	So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	6	And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	7	Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	8	But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	9	Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; where he gave judgment upon him.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	10	And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes: he slew also all the princes of Judah in Riblah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	11	Then he put out the eyes of Zedekiah; and the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and carried him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	12	Now in the fifth month, in the tenth day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, which served the king of Babylon, into Jerusalem,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	13	And burned the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and all the houses of the great men, burned he with fire:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	14	And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	15	Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and the residue of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the multitude.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	16	But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left certain of the poor of the land for vinedressers and for husbandmen.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	17	Also the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brasen sea that was in the house of the LORD, the Chaldeans brake, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	18	The caldrons also, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	19	And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	20	The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls that were under the bases, which king Solomon had made in the house of the LORD: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	21	And concerning the pillars, the height of one pillar was eighteen cubits; and a fillet of twelve cubits did compass it; and the thickness thereof was four fingers: it was hollow.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	22	And a chapiter of brass was upon it; and the height of one chapiter was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the chapiters round about, all of brass. The second pillar also and the pomegranates were like unto these.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	23	And there were ninety and six pomegranates on a side; and all the pomegranates upon the network were an hundred round about.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	24	And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	25	He took also out of the city an eunuch, which had the charge of the men of war; and seven men of them that were near the king's person, which were found in the city; and the principal scribe of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the midst of the city.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	26	So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	27	And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death in Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own land.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	28	This is the people whom Nebuchadrezzar carried away captive: in the seventh year three thousand Jews and three and twenty:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	29	In the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he carried away captive from Jerusalem eight hundred thirty and two persons:
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	30	In the three and twentieth year of Nebuchadrezzar Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away captive of the Jews seven hundred forty and five persons: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	31	And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day of the month, that Evilmerodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him forth out of prison,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	32	And spake kindly unto him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon,
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	33	And changed his prison garments: and he did continually eat bread before him all the days of his life.
Jeremiah	Jer	24	52	34	And for his diet, there was a continual diet given him of the king of Babylon, every day a portion until the day of his death, all the days of his life.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	1	How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people! how is she become as a widow! she that was great among the nations, and princess among the provinces, how is she become tributary!
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	2	She weepeth sore in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her: all her friends have dealt treacherously with her, they are become her enemies.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	3	Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	4	The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	5	Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: her children are gone into captivity before the enemy.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	6	And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts that find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	7	Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	8	Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	9	Her filthiness is in her skirts; she remembereth not her last end; therefore she came down wonderfully: she had no comforter. O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	10	The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things: for she hath seen that the heathen entered into her sanctuary, whom thou didst command that they should not enter into thy congregation.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	11	All her people sigh, they seek bread; they have given their pleasant things for meat to relieve the soul: see, O LORD, and consider; for I am become vile.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	12	Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	13	From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	14	The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	15	The LORD hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the LORD hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	16	For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	17	Zion spreadeth forth her hands, and there is none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, that his adversaries should be round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	18	The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow: my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	19	I called for my lovers, but they deceived me: my priests and mine elders gave up the ghost in the city, while they sought their meat to relieve their souls.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	20	Behold, O LORD; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: abroad the sword bereaveth, at home there is as death.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	21	They have heard that I sigh: there is none to comfort me: all mine enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it: thou wilt bring the day that thou hast called, and they shall be like unto me.
Lamentations	Lam	25	1	22	Let all their wickedness come before thee; and do unto them, as thou hast done unto me for all my transgressions: for my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	1	How hath the LORD covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	2	The LORD hath swallowed up all the habitations of Jacob, and hath not pitied: he hath thrown down in his wrath the strong holds of the daughter of Judah; he hath brought them down to the ground: he hath polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	3	He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	4	He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all that were pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of Zion: he poured out his fury like fire.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	5	The LORD was as an enemy: he hath swallowed up Israel, he hath swallowed up all her palaces: he hath destroyed his strong holds, and hath increased in the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	6	And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	7	The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	8	The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	9	Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	10	The elders of the daughter of Zion sit upon the ground, and keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	11	Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and the sucklings swoon in the streets of the city.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	12	They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? when they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mothers' bosom.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	13	What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	14	Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	15	All that pass by clap their hands at thee; they hiss and wag their head at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city that men call The perfection of beauty, The joy of the whole earth?
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	16	All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for; we have found, we have seen it.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	17	The LORD hath done that which he had devised; he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded in the days of old: he hath thrown down, and hath not pitied: and he hath caused thine enemy to rejoice over thee, he hath set up the horn of thine adversaries.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	18	Their heart cried unto the LORD, O wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	19	Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the LORD: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	20	Behold, O LORD, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	21	The young and the old lie on the ground in the streets: my virgins and my young men are fallen by the sword; thou hast slain them in the day of thine anger; thou hast killed, and not pitied.
Lamentations	Lam	25	2	22	Thou hast called as in a solemn day my terrors round about, so that in the day of the LORD's anger none escaped nor remained: those that I have swaddled and brought up hath mine enemy consumed.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	1	I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	2	He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	3	Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	4	My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	5	He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	6	He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	7	He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	8	Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	9	He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	10	He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	11	He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	12	He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	13	He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	14	I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	15	He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	16	He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	17	And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	18	And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	19	Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	20	My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	21	This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	22	It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	23	They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	24	The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	25	The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	26	It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	27	It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	28	He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	29	He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	30	He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	31	For the LORD will not cast off for ever:
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	32	But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	33	For he doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	34	To crush under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	35	To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High,
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	36	To subvert a man in his cause, the LORD approveth not.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	37	Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	38	Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	39	Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	40	Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	41	Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	42	We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	43	Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	44	Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	45	Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	46	All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	47	Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	48	Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	49	Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	50	Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	51	Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	52	Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	53	They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	54	Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	55	I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	56	Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	57	Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	58	O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	59	O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	60	Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	61	Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	62	The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	63	Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	64	Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	65	Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.
Lamentations	Lam	25	3	66	Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	1	How is the gold become dim! how is the most fine gold changed! the stones of the sanctuary are poured out in the top of every street.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	2	The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	3	Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	4	The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	5	They that did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: they that were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	6	For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	7	Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	8	Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	9	They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	10	The hands of the pitiful women have sodden their own children: they were their meat in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	11	The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in Zion, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	12	The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world, would not have believed that the adversary and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	13	For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her,
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	14	They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted themselves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	15	They cried unto them, Depart ye; it is unclean; depart, depart, touch not: when they fled away and wandered, they said among the heathen, They shall no more sojourn there.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	16	The anger of the LORD hath divided them; he will no more regard them: they respected not the persons of the priests, they favoured not the elders.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	17	As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	18	They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	19	Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	20	The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD, was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	21	Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked.
Lamentations	Lam	25	4	22	The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	1	Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	2	Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	3	We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	4	We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	5	Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	6	We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	7	Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	8	Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	9	We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	10	Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	11	They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	12	Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	13	They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	14	The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	15	The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	16	The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	17	For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	18	Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	19	Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	20	Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	21	Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
Lamentations	Lam	25	5	22	But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	1	Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	2	In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	3	The word of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the LORD was there upon him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	4	And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	5	Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	6	And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	7	And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	8	And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	9	Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	10	As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	11	Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	12	And they went every one straight forward: whither the spirit was to go, they went; and they turned not when they went.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	13	As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps: it went up and down among the living creatures; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	14	And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	15	Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with his four faces.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	16	The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl: and they four had one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	17	When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	18	As for their rings, they were so high that they were dreadful; and their rings were full of eyes round about them four.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	19	And when the living creatures went, the wheels went by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	20	Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	21	When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	22	And the likeness of the firmament upon the heads of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible crystal, stretched forth over their heads above.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	23	And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other: every one had two, which covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	24	And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host: when they stood, they let down their wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	25	And there was a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they stood, and had let down their wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	26	And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	27	And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	1	28	As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	1	And he said unto me, Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	2	And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, and set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	3	And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	4	For they are impudent children and stiffhearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	5	And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	6	And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	7	And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	8	But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	9	And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	2	10	And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	1	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	2	So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	3	And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	4	And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	5	For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	6	Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	7	But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	8	Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	9	As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	10	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	11	And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	12	Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	13	I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	14	So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	15	Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	16	And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	17	Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	18	When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	19	Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	20	Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	21	Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	22	And the hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	23	Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	24	Then the spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thine house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	25	But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	26	And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	3	27	But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	1	Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	2	And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	3	Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	4	Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	5	For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	6	And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	7	Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	8	And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	9	Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	10	And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	11	Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	12	And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	13	And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	14	Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	15	Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	16	Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	4	17	That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	1	And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's razor, and cause it to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	2	Thou shalt burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and thou shalt take a third part, and smite about it with a knife: and a third part thou shalt scatter in the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	3	Thou shalt also take thereof a few in number, and bind them in thy skirts.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	4	Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; for thereof shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	5	Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	6	And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	7	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	8	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	9	And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	10	Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	11	Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	12	A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	13	Thus shall mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	14	Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	15	So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	16	When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	5	17	So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	2	Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	3	And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	4	And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	5	And I will lay the dead carcases of the children of Israel before their idols; and I will scatter your bones round about your altars.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	6	In all your dwellingplaces the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	7	And the slain shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	8	Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	9	And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	10	And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	11	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	12	He that is far off shall die of the pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword; and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	13	Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	6	14	So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	1	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	2	Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	3	Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	4	And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	5	Thus saith the Lord GOD; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	6	An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	7	The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	8	Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	9	And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the LORD that smiteth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	10	Behold the day, behold, it is come: the morning is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	11	Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness: none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of any of theirs: neither shall there be wailing for them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	12	The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	13	For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they were yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, which shall not return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	14	They have blown the trumpet, even to make all ready; but none goeth to the battle: for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	15	The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword; and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	16	But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	17	All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	18	They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	19	They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	20	As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	21	And I will give it into the hands of the strangers for a prey, and to the wicked of the earth for a spoil; and they shall pollute it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	22	My face will I turn also from them, and they shall pollute my secret place: for the robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	23	Make a chain: for the land is full of bloody crimes, and the city is full of violence.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	24	Wherefore I will bring the worst of the heathen, and they shall possess their houses: I will also make the pomp of the strong to cease; and their holy places shall be defiled.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	25	Destruction cometh; and they shall seek peace, and there shall be none.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	26	Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	7	27	The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled: I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	1	And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	2	Then I beheld, and lo a likeness as the appearance of fire: from the appearance of his loins even downward, fire; and from his loins even upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the colour of amber.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	3	And he put forth the form of an hand, and took me by a lock of mine head; and the spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the inner gate that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	4	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	5	Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	6	He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	7	And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold a hole in the wall.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	8	Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	9	And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that they do here.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	10	So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, pourtrayed upon the wall round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	11	And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	12	Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	13	He said also unto me, Turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations that they do.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	14	Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	15	Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	16	And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	17	Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	8	18	Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	1	He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	2	And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	3	And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	4	And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	5	And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	6	Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	7	And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	8	And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	9	Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	10	And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	9	11	And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	1	Then I looked, and, behold, in the firmament that was above the head of the cherubims there appeared over them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	2	And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, even under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter them over the city. And he went in in my sight.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	3	Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	4	Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD's glory.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	5	And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	6	And it came to pass, that when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	7	And one cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubims unto the fire that was between the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed with linen: who took it, and went out.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	8	And there appeared in the cherubims the form of a man's hand under their wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	9	And when I looked, behold the four wheels by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another wheel by another cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the colour of a beryl stone.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	10	And as for their appearances, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the midst of a wheel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	11	When they went, they went upon their four sides; they turned not as they went, but to the place whither the head looked they followed it; they turned not as they went.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	12	And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	13	As for the wheels, it was cried unto them in my hearing, O wheel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	14	And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of a cherub, and the second face was the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	15	And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river of Chebar.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	16	And when the cherubims went, the wheels went by them: and when the cherubims lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	17	When they stood, these stood; and when they were lifted up, these lifted up themselves also: for the spirit of the living creature was in them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	18	Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubims.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	19	And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	20	This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chebar; and I knew that they were the cherubims.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	21	Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	10	22	And the likeness of their faces was the same faces which I saw by the river of Chebar, their appearances and themselves: they went every one straight forward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	1	Moreover the spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, which looketh eastward: and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	2	Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	3	Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	4	Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	5	And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak; Thus saith the LORD; Thus have ye said, O house of Israel: for I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	6	Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	7	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron: but I will bring you forth out of the midst of it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	8	Ye have feared the sword; and I will bring a sword upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	9	And I will bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	10	Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	11	This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	12	And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	13	And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	14	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	15	Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far from the LORD: unto us is this land given in possession.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	16	Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	17	Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	18	And they shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	19	And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	20	That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	21	But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	22	Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	23	And the glory of the LORD went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	24	Afterwards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	11	25	Then I spake unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shewed me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	1	The word of the LORD also came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	2	Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	3	Therefore, thou son of man, prepare thee stuff for removing, and remove by day in their sight; and thou shalt remove from thy place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they be a rebellious house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	4	Then shalt thou bring forth thy stuff by day in their sight, as stuff for removing: and thou shalt go forth at even in their sight, as they that go forth into captivity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	5	Dig thou through the wall in their sight, and carry out thereby.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	6	In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight: thou shalt cover thy face, that thou see not the ground: for I have set thee for a sign unto the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	7	And I did so as I was commanded: I brought forth my stuff by day, as stuff for captivity, and in the even I digged through the wall with mine hand; I brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my shoulder in their sight.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	8	And in the morning came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	9	Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said unto thee, What doest thou?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	10	Say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; This burden concerneth the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel that are among them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	11	Say, I am your sign: like as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: they shall remove and go into captivity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	12	And the prince that is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out thereby: he shall cover his face, that he see not the ground with his eyes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	13	My net also will I spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, though he shall die there.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	14	And I will scatter toward every wind all that are about him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	15	And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	16	But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	17	Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	18	Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	19	And say unto the people of the land, Thus saith the Lord GOD of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat their bread with carefulness, and drink their water with astonishment, that her land may be desolate from all that is therein, because of the violence of all them that dwell therein.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	20	And the cities that are inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	21	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	22	Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	23	Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	24	For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	25	For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	26	Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	27	Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	12	28	Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	2	Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	3	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	4	O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	5	Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	6	They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	7	Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith it; albeit I have not spoken?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	8	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	9	And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	10	Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	11	Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	12	Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	13	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my fury; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in my fury to consume it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	14	So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered morter, and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	15	Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	16	To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	17	Likewise, thou son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy out of their own heart; and prophesy thou against them,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	18	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls! Will ye hunt the souls of my people, and will ye save the souls alive that come unto you?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	19	And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	20	Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against your pillows, wherewith ye there hunt the souls to make them fly, and I will tear them from your arms, and will let the souls go, even the souls that ye hunt to make them fly.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	21	Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	22	Because with lies ye have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not made sad; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	13	23	Therefore ye shall see no more vanity, nor divine divinations: for I will deliver my people out of your hand: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	1	Then came certain of the elders of Israel unto me, and sat before me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	2	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	3	Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	4	Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	5	That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	6	Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	7	For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to enquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	8	And I will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	9	And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	10	And they shall bear the punishment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh unto him;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	11	That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	12	The word of the LORD came again to me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	13	Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	14	Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	15	If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	16	Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	17	Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	18	Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	19	Or if I send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	20	Though Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	21	For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	22	Yet, behold, therein shall be left a remnant that shall be brought forth, both sons and daughters: behold, they shall come forth unto you, and ye shall see their way and their doings: and ye shall be comforted concerning the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, even concerning all that I have brought upon it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	14	23	And they shall comfort you, when ye see their ways and their doings: and ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	2	Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, or than a branch which is among the trees of the forest?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	3	Shall wood be taken thereof to do any work? or will men take a pin of it to hang any vessel thereon?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	4	Behold, it is cast into the fire for fuel; the fire devoureth both the ends of it, and the midst of it is burned. Is it meet for any work?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	5	Behold, when it was whole, it was meet for no work: how much less shall it be meet yet for any work, when the fire hath devoured it, and it is burned?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	6	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As the vine tree among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so will I give the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	7	And I will set my face against them; they shall go out from one fire, and another fire shall devour them; and ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I set my face against them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	15	8	And I will make the land desolate, because they have committed a trespass, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	1	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	2	Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	3	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	4	And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	5	None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	6	And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	7	I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	8	Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord GOD, and thou becamest mine.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	9	Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	10	I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	11	I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	12	And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	13	Thus wast thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk, and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a kingdom.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	14	And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	15	But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passed by; his it was.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	16	And of thy garments thou didst take, and deckedst thy high places with divers colours, and playedst the harlot thereupon: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	17	Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	18	And tookest thy broidered garments, and coveredst them: and thou hast set mine oil and mine incense before them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	19	My meat also which I gave thee, fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast even set it before them for a sweet savour: and thus it was, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	20	Moreover thou hast taken thy sons and thy daughters, whom thou hast borne unto me, and these hast thou sacrificed unto them to be devoured. Is this of thy whoredoms a small matter,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	21	That thou hast slain my children, and delivered them to cause them to pass through the fire for them?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	22	And in all thine abominations and thy whoredoms thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, when thou wast naked and bare, and wast polluted in thy blood.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	23	And it came to pass after all thy wickedness, (woe, woe unto thee! saith the LORD GOD;)
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	24	That thou hast also built unto thee an eminent place, and hast made thee an high place in every street.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	25	Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	26	Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	27	Behold, therefore I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, which are ashamed of thy lewd way.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	28	Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	29	Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	30	How weak is thine heart, saith the LORD GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	31	In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as an harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	32	But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	33	They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	34	And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	35	Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	36	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	37	Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	38	And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	39	And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	40	They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	41	And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	42	So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	43	Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	44	Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	45	Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	46	And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	47	Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	48	As I live, saith the Lord GOD, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	49	Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	50	And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	51	Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	52	Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	53	When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	54	That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	55	When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	56	For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	57	Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	58	Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	59	For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	60	Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	61	Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	62	And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	16	63	That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	2	Son of man, put forth a riddle, and speak a parable unto the house of Israel;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	3	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; A great eagle with great wings, longwinged, full of feathers, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	4	He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and carried it into a land of traffick; he set it in a city of merchants.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	5	He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed it by great waters, and set it as a willow tree.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	6	And it grew, and became a spreading vine of low stature, whose branches turned toward him, and the roots thereof were under him: so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, and shot forth sprigs.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	7	There was also another great eagle with great wings and many feathers: and, behold, this vine did bend her roots toward him, and shot forth her branches toward him, that he might water it by the furrows of her plantation.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	8	It was planted in a good soil by great waters, that it might bring forth branches, and that it might bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	9	Say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Shall it prosper? shall he not pull up the roots thereof, and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither? it shall wither in all the leaves of her spring, even without great power or many people to pluck it up by the roots thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	10	Yea, behold, being planted, shall it prosper? shall it not utterly wither, when the east wind toucheth it? it shall wither in the furrows where it grew.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	11	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	12	Say now to the rebellious house, Know ye not what these things mean? tell them, Behold, the king of Babylon is come to Jerusalem, and hath taken the king thereof, and the princes thereof, and led them with him to Babylon;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	13	And hath taken of the king's seed, and made a covenant with him, and hath taken an oath of him: he hath also taken the mighty of the land:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	14	That the kingdom might be base, that it might not lift itself up, but that by keeping of his covenant it might stand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	15	But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	16	As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	17	Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	18	Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	19	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	20	And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	21	And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	22	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	23	In the mountain of the height of Israel will I plant it: and it shall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a goodly cedar: and under it shall dwell all fowl of every wing; in the shadow of the branches thereof shall they dwell.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	17	24	And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	1	The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	2	What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	3	As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	4	Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	5	But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	6	And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	7	And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	8	He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	9	Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	10	If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	11	And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	12	Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	13	Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	14	Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and considereth, and doeth not such like,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	15	That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	16	Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	17	That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	18	As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	19	Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	20	The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	21	But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	22	All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	23	Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	24	But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	25	Yet ye say, The way of the LORD is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	26	When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	27	Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	28	Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	29	Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	30	Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	31	Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	18	32	For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	1	Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	2	And say, What is thy mother? A lioness: she lay down among lions, she nourished her whelps among young lions.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	3	And she brought up one of her whelps: it became a young lion, and it learned to catch the prey; it devoured men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	4	The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit, and they brought him with chains unto the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	5	Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	6	And he went up and down among the lions, he became a young lion, and learned to catch the prey, and devoured men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	7	And he knew their desolate palaces, and he laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, by the noise of his roaring.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	8	Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces, and spread their net over him: he was taken in their pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	9	And they put him in ward in chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon: they brought him into holds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	10	Thy mother is like a vine in thy blood, planted by the waters: she was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	11	And she had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and her stature was exalted among the thick branches, and she appeared in her height with the multitude of her branches.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	12	But she was plucked up in fury, she was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up her fruit: her strong rods were broken and withered; the fire consumed them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	13	And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty ground.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	19	14	And fire is gone out of a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit, so that she hath no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	1	And it came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to enquire of the LORD, and sat before me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	2	Then came the word of the LORD unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	3	Son of man, speak unto the elders of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye come to enquire of me? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	4	Wilt thou judge them, son of man, wilt thou judge them? cause them to know the abominations of their fathers:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	5	And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	6	In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	7	Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	8	But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	9	But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, among whom they were, in whose sight I made myself known unto them, in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	10	Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	11	And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	12	Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	13	But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	14	But I wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted before the heathen, in whose sight I brought them out.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	15	Yet also I lifted up my hand unto them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	16	Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	17	Nevertheless mine eye spared them from destroying them, neither did I make an end of them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	18	But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	19	I am the LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	20	And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am the LORD your God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	21	Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	22	Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	23	I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	24	Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	25	Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	26	And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	27	Therefore, son of man, speak unto the house of Israel, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed me, in that they have committed a trespass against me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	28	For when I had brought them into the land, for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to them, then they saw every high hill, and all the thick trees, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering: there also they made their sweet savour, and poured out there their drink offerings.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	29	Then I said unto them, What is the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	30	Wherefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Are ye polluted after the manner of your fathers? and commit ye whoredom after their abominations?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	31	For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your sons to pass through the fire, ye pollute yourselves with all your idols, even unto this day: and shall I be enquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will not be enquired of by you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	32	And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	33	As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out, will I rule over you:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	34	And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	35	And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	36	Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	37	And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	38	And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	39	As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	40	For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them, and there will I require your offerings, and the firstfruits of your oblations, with all your holy things.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	41	I will accept you with your sweet savour, when I bring you out from the people, and gather you out of the countries wherein ye have been scattered; and I will be sanctified in you before the heathen.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	42	And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to your fathers.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	43	And there shall ye remember your ways, and all your doings, wherein ye have been defiled; and ye shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for all your evils that ye have committed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	44	And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have wrought with you for my name's sake, not according to your wicked ways, nor according to your corrupt doings, O ye house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	45	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	46	Son of man, set thy face toward the south, and drop thy word toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the south field;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	47	And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	48	And all flesh shall see that I the LORD have kindled it: it shall not be quenched.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	20	49	Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	2	Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	3	And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	4	Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	5	That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	6	Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	7	And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	8	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	9	Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	10	It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	11	And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	12	Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	13	Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	14	Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	15	I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	16	Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	17	I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	18	The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	19	Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	20	Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	21	For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	22	At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	23	And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	24	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	25	And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	26	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	27	I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	28	And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	29	Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	30	Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	31	And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	21	32	Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	1	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	2	Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	3	Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh idols against herself to defile herself.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	4	Thou art become guilty in thy blood that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come even unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	5	Those that be near, and those that be far from thee, shall mock thee, which art infamous and much vexed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	6	Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	7	In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	8	Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	9	In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	10	In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	11	And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	12	In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	13	Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been in the midst of thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	14	Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken it, and will do it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	15	And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	16	And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	17	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	18	Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	19	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	20	As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you there, and melt you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	21	Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	22	As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	23	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	24	Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	25	There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	26	Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	27	Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	28	And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	29	The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	30	And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	22	31	Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	2	Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	3	And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	4	And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	5	And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	6	Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	7	Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	8	Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	9	Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	10	These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	11	And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	12	She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	13	Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	14	And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	15	Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	16	And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	17	And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	18	So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	19	Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	20	For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	21	Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	22	Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	23	The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	24	And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	25	And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	26	They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	27	Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	28	For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	29	And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	30	I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	31	Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	32	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	33	Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	34	Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	35	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	36	The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	37	That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	38	Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	39	For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	40	And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	41	And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	42	And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	43	Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	44	Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	45	And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	46	For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	47	And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	48	Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	23	49	And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	1	Again in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	2	Son of man, write thee the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	3	And utter a parable unto the rebellious house, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour water into it:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	4	Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice bones.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	5	Take the choice of the flock, and burn also the bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them seethe the bones of it therein.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	6	Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	7	For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	8	That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	9	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city! I will even make the pile for fire great.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	10	Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume the flesh, and spice it well, and let the bones be burned.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	11	Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the filthiness of it may be molten in it, that the scum of it may be consumed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	12	She hath wearied herself with lies, and her great scum went not forth out of her: her scum shall be in the fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	13	In thy filthiness is lewdness: because I have purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shalt not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till I have caused my fury to rest upon thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	14	I the LORD have spoken it: it shall come to pass, and I will do it; I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to thy ways, and according to thy doings, shall they judge thee, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	15	Also the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	16	Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	17	Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	18	So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	19	And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	20	Then I answered them, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	21	Speak unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will profane my sanctuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pitieth; and your sons and your daughters whom ye have left shall fall by the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	22	And ye shall do as I have done: ye shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	23	And your tires shall be upon your heads, and your shoes upon your feet: ye shall not mourn nor weep; but ye shall pine away for your iniquities, and mourn one toward another.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	24	Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign: according to all that he hath done shall ye do: and when this cometh, ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	25	Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their minds, their sons and their daughters,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	26	That he that escapeth in that day shall come unto thee, to cause thee to hear it with thine ears?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	24	27	In that day shall thy mouth be opened to him which is escaped, and thou shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou shalt be a sign unto them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	2	Son of man, set thy face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	3	And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou saidst, Aha, against my sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	4	Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the men of the east for a possession, and they shall set their palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee: they shall eat thy fruit, and they shall drink thy milk.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	5	And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	6	For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped thine hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	7	Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	8	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	9	Therefore, behold, I will open the side of Moab from the cities, from his cities which are on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Bethjeshimoth, Baalmeon, and Kiriathaim,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	10	Unto the men of the east with the Ammonites, and will give them in possession, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	11	And I will execute judgments upon Moab; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	12	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	13	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	14	And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	15	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	16	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	25	17	And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	1	And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	2	Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	3	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	4	And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	5	It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	6	And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	7	For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	8	He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	9	And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	10	By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	11	With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	12	And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	13	And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	14	And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	15	Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	16	Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	17	And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	18	Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	19	For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	20	When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	26	21	I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	2	Now, thou son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyrus;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	3	And say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	4	Thy borders are in the midst of the seas, thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	5	They have made all thy ship boards of fir trees of Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	6	Of the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; the company of the Ashurites have made thy benches of ivory, brought out of the isles of Chittim.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	7	Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou spreadest forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was that which covered thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	8	The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	9	The ancients of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers: all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to occupy thy merchandise.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	10	They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	11	The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	12	Tarshish was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kind of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded in thy fairs.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	13	Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass in thy market.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	14	They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	15	The men of Dedan were thy merchants; many isles were the merchandise of thine hand: they brought thee for a present horns of ivory and ebony.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	16	Syria was thy merchant by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making: they occupied in thy fairs with emeralds, purple, and broidered work, and fine linen, and coral, and agate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	17	Judah, and the land of Israel, they were thy merchants: they traded in thy market wheat of Minnith, and Pannag, and honey, and oil, and balm.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	18	Damascus was thy merchant in the multitude of the wares of thy making, for the multitude of all riches; in the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	19	Dan also and Javan going to and fro occupied in thy fairs: bright iron, cassia, and calamus, were in thy market.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	20	Dedan was thy merchant in precious clothes for chariots.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	21	Arabia, and all the princes of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats: in these were they thy merchants.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	22	The merchants of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy merchants: they occupied in thy fairs with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	23	Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad, were thy merchants.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	24	These were thy merchants in all sorts of things, in blue clothes, and broidered work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords, and made of cedar, among thy merchandise.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	25	The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	26	Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	27	Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	28	The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	29	And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	30	And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	31	And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	32	And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	33	When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	34	In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	35	All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	27	36	The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	2	Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	3	Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	4	With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	5	By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	6	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	7	Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	8	They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	9	Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God? but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	10	Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	11	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	12	Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	13	Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	14	Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	15	Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	16	By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	17	Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	18	Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	19	All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	20	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	21	Son of man, set thy face against Zidon, and prophesy against it,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	22	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon; and I will be glorified in the midst of thee: and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	23	For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	24	And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	25	Thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the people among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the heathen, then shall they dwell in their land that I have given to my servant Jacob.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	28	26	And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence, when I have executed judgments upon all those that despise them round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	1	In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	2	Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	3	Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	4	But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	5	And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	6	And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	7	When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	8	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	9	And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	10	Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	11	No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	12	And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	13	Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	14	And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	15	It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	16	And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	17	And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	18	Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	19	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	20	I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	29	21	In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	1	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	2	Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Howl ye, Woe worth the day!
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	3	For the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	4	And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great pain shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be broken down.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	5	Ethiopia, and Libya, and Lydia, and all the mingled people, and Chub, and the men of the land that is in league, shall fall with them by the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	6	Thus saith the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	7	And they shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	8	And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	9	In that day shall messengers go forth from me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid, and great pain shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt: for, lo, it cometh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	10	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also make the multitude of Egypt to cease by the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	11	He and his people with him, the terrible of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land: and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	12	And I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of the wicked: and I will make the land waste, and all that is therein, by the hand of strangers: I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	13	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	14	And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	15	And I will pour my fury upon Sin, the strength of Egypt; and I will cut off the multitude of No.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	16	And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	17	The young men of Aven and of Pibeseth shall fall by the sword: and these cities shall go into captivity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	18	At Tehaphnehes also the day shall be darkened, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt: and the pomp of her strength shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	19	Thus will I execute judgments in Egypt: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	20	And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	21	Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, lo, it shall not be bound up to be healed, to put a roller to bind it, to make it strong to hold the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	22	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong, and that which was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	23	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	24	And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	25	But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	30	26	And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	1	And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	2	Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom art thou like in thy greatness?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	3	Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	4	The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent out her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	5	Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	6	All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	7	Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	8	The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	9	I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	10	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	11	I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	12	And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	13	Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	14	To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	15	Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	16	I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	17	They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	31	18	To whom art thou thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shalt thou be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: thou shalt lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	1	And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	2	Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharaoh king of Egypt, and say unto him, Thou art like a young lion of the nations, and thou art as a whale in the seas: and thou camest forth with thy rivers, and troubledst the waters with thy feet, and fouledst their rivers.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	3	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will therefore spread out my net over thee with a company of many people; and they shall bring thee up in my net.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	4	Then will I leave thee upon the land, I will cast thee forth upon the open field, and will cause all the fowls of the heaven to remain upon thee, and I will fill the beasts of the whole earth with thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	5	And I will lay thy flesh upon the mountains, and fill the valleys with thy height.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	6	I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	7	And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	8	All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	9	I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	10	Yea, I will make many people amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when I shall brandish my sword before them; and they shall tremble at every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of thy fall.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	11	For thus saith the Lord GOD; The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	12	By the swords of the mighty will I cause thy multitude to fall, the terrible of the nations, all of them: and they shall spoil the pomp of Egypt, and all the multitude thereof shall be destroyed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	13	I will destroy also all the beasts thereof from beside the great waters; neither shall the foot of man trouble them any more, nor the hoofs of beasts trouble them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	14	Then will I make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	15	When I shall make the land of Egypt desolate, and the country shall be destitute of that whereof it was full, when I shall smite all them that dwell therein, then shall they know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	16	This is the lamentation wherewith they shall lament her: the daughters of the nations shall lament her: they shall lament for her, even for Egypt, and for all her multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	17	It came to pass also in the twelfth year, in the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	18	Son of man, wail for the multitude of Egypt, and cast them down, even her, and the daughters of the famous nations, unto the nether parts of the earth, with them that go down into the pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	19	Whom dost thou pass in beauty? go down, and be thou laid with the uncircumcised.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	20	They shall fall in the midst of them that are slain by the sword: she is delivered to the sword: draw her and all her multitudes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	21	The strong among the mighty shall speak to him out of the midst of hell with them that help him: they are gone down, they lie uncircumcised, slain by the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	22	Asshur is there and all her company: his graves are about him: all of them slain, fallen by the sword:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	23	Whose graves are set in the sides of the pit, and her company is round about her grave: all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which caused terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	24	There is Elam and all her multitude round about her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, which are gone down uncircumcised into the nether parts of the earth, which caused their terror in the land of the living; yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	25	They have set her a bed in the midst of the slain with all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword: though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet have they borne their shame with them that go down to the pit: he is put in the midst of them that be slain.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	26	There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her multitude: her graves are round about him: all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	27	And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	28	Yea, thou shalt be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and shalt lie with them that are slain with the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	29	There is Edom, her kings, and all her princes, which with their might are laid by them that were slain by the sword: they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with them that go down to the pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	30	There be the princes of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, which are gone down with the slain; with their terror they are ashamed of their might; and they lie uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword, and bear their shame with them that go down to the pit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	31	Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	32	32	For I have caused my terror in the land of the living: and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that are slain with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his multitude, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	1	Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	2	Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	3	If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	4	Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	5	He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	6	But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	7	So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	8	When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	9	Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	10	Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	11	Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	12	Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	13	When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	14	Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	15	If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	16	None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	17	Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	18	When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	19	But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	20	Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	21	And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	22	Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	23	Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	24	Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	25	Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	26	Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	27	Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	28	For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	29	Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	30	Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	31	And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	32	And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	33	33	And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	2	Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	3	Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	4	The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	5	And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	6	My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	7	Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	8	As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	9	Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	10	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	11	For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	12	As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	13	And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	14	I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	15	I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	16	I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	17	And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	18	Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	19	And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	20	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	21	Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	22	Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	23	And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	24	And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	25	And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	26	And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there shall be showers of blessing.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	27	And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	28	And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	29	And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	30	Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	34	31	And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	1	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	2	Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	3	And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	4	I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	5	Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	6	Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	7	Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	8	And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	9	I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	10	Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the LORD was there:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	11	Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	12	And thou shalt know that I am the LORD, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	13	Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	14	Thus saith the Lord GOD; When the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	35	15	As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	1	Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	2	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	3	Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	4	Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	5	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	6	Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	7	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	8	But ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall shoot forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel; for they are at hand to come.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	9	For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and sown:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	10	And I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, even all of it: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	11	And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do better unto you than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	12	Yea, I will cause men to walk upon you, even my people Israel; and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be their inheritance, and thou shalt no more henceforth bereave them of men.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	13	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast bereaved thy nations;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	14	Therefore thou shalt devour men no more, neither bereave thy nations any more, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	15	Neither will I cause men to hear in thee the shame of the heathen any more, neither shalt thou bear the reproach of the people any more, neither shalt thou cause thy nations to fall any more, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	16	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	17	Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	18	Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	19	And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	20	And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the LORD, and are gone forth out of his land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	21	But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	22	Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	23	And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	24	For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	25	Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	26	A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	27	And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	28	And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	29	I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	30	And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	31	Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	32	Not for your sakes do I this, saith the Lord GOD, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded for your own ways, O house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	33	Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	34	And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	35	And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	36	Then the heathen that are left round about you shall know that I the LORD build the ruined places, and plant that that was desolate: I the LORD have spoken it, and I will do it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	37	Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will yet for this be enquired of by the house of Israel, to do it for them; I will increase them with men like a flock.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	36	38	As the holy flock, as the flock of Jerusalem in her solemn feasts; so shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	1	The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	2	And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	3	And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	4	Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	5	Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	6	And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	7	So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	8	And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	9	Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	10	So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	11	Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	12	Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	13	And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	14	And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	15	The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	16	Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	17	And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	18	And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	19	Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	20	And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	21	And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	22	And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	23	Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwellingplaces, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	24	And David my servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	25	And they shall dwell in the land that I have given unto Jacob my servant, wherein your fathers have dwelt; and they shall dwell therein, even they, and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their prince for ever.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	26	Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	27	My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	37	28	And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	1	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	2	Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	3	And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	4	And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	5	Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	6	Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	7	Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	8	After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	9	Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	10	Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	11	And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	12	To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	13	Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	14	Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	15	And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	16	And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	17	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	18	And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	19	For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	20	So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	21	And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	22	And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	38	23	Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	1	Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	2	And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	3	And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	4	Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands, and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	5	Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	6	And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	7	So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	8	Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	9	And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	10	So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	11	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	12	And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	13	Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	14	And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	15	And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	16	And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	17	And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	18	Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	19	And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	20	Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	21	And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	22	So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	23	And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	24	According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	25	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	26	After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	27	When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	28	Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	39	29	Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	1	In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	2	In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	3	And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	4	And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew them unto thee art thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest to the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	5	And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about, and in the man's hand a measuring reed of six cubits long by the cubit and an hand breadth: so he measured the breadth of the building, one reed; and the height, one reed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	6	Then came he unto the gate which looketh toward the east, and went up the stairs thereof, and measured the threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad; and the other threshold of the gate, which was one reed broad.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	7	And every little chamber was one reed long, and one reed broad; and between the little chambers were five cubits; and the threshold of the gate by the porch of the gate within was one reed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	8	He measured also the porch of the gate within, one reed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	9	Then measured he the porch of the gate, eight cubits; and the posts thereof, two cubits; and the porch of the gate was inward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	10	And the little chambers of the gate eastward were three on this side, and three on that side; they three were of one measure: and the posts had one measure on this side and on that side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	11	And he measured the breadth of the entry of the gate, ten cubits; and the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	12	The space also before the little chambers was one cubit on this side, and the space was one cubit on that side: and the little chambers were six cubits on this side, and six cubits on that side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	13	He measured then the gate from the roof of one little chamber to the roof of another: the breadth was five and twenty cubits, door against door.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	14	He made also posts of threescore cubits, even unto the post of the court round about the gate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	15	And from the face of the gate of the entrance unto the face of the porch of the inner gate were fifty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	16	And there were narrow windows to the little chambers, and to their posts within the gate round about, and likewise to the arches: and windows were round about inward: and upon each post were palm trees.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	17	Then brought he me into the outward court, and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made for the court round about: thirty chambers were upon the pavement.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	18	And the pavement by the side of the gates over against the length of the gates was the lower pavement.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	19	Then he measured the breadth from the forefront of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner court without, an hundred cubits eastward and northward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	20	And the gate of the outward court that looked toward the north, he measured the length thereof, and the breadth thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	21	And the little chambers thereof were three on this side and three on that side; and the posts thereof and the arches thereof were after the measure of the first gate: the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	22	And their windows, and their arches, and their palm trees, were after the measure of the gate that looketh toward the east; and they went up unto it by seven steps; and the arches thereof were before them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	23	And the gate of the inner court was over against the gate toward the north, and toward the east; and he measured from gate to gate an hundred cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	24	After that he brought me toward the south, and behold a gate toward the south: and he measured the posts thereof and the arches thereof according to these measures.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	25	And there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about, like those windows: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	26	And there were seven steps to go up to it, and the arches thereof were before them: and it had palm trees, one on this side, and another on that side, upon the posts thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	27	And there was a gate in the inner court toward the south: and he measured from gate to gate toward the south an hundred cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	28	And he brought me to the inner court by the south gate: and he measured the south gate according to these measures;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	29	And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, according to these measures: and there were windows in it and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	30	And the arches round about were five and twenty cubits long, and five cubits broad.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	31	And the arches thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	32	And he brought me into the inner court toward the east: and he measured the gate according to these measures.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	33	And the little chambers thereof, and the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to these measures: and there were windows therein and in the arches thereof round about: it was fifty cubits long, and five and twenty cubits broad.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	34	And the arches thereof were toward the outward court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	35	And he brought me to the north gate, and measured it according to these measures;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	36	The little chambers thereof, the posts thereof, and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	37	And the posts thereof were toward the utter court; and palm trees were upon the posts thereof, on this side, and on that side: and the going up to it had eight steps.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	38	And the chambers and the entries thereof were by the posts of the gates, where they washed the burnt offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	39	And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt offering and the sin offering and the trespass offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	40	And at the side without, as one goeth up to the entry of the north gate, were two tables; and on the other side, which was at the porch of the gate, were two tables.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	41	Four tables were on this side, and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate; eight tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	42	And the four tables were of hewn stone for the burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high: whereupon also they laid the instruments wherewith they slew the burnt offering and the sacrifice.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	43	And within were hooks, an hand broad, fastened round about: and upon the tables was the flesh of the offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	44	And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	45	And he said unto me, This chamber, whose prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	46	And the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok among the sons of Levi, which come near to the LORD to minister unto him.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	47	So he measured the court, an hundred cubits long, and an hundred cubits broad, foursquare; and the altar that was before the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	48	And he brought me to the porch of the house, and measured each post of the porch, five cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side: and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on this side, and three cubits on that side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	40	49	The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the breadth eleven cubits; and he brought me by the steps whereby they went up to it: and there were pillars by the posts, one on this side, and another on that side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	1	Afterward he brought me to the temple, and measured the posts, six cubits broad on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	2	And the breadth of the door was ten cubits; and the sides of the door were five cubits on the one side, and five cubits on the other side: and he measured the length thereof, forty cubits: and the breadth, twenty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	3	Then went he inward, and measured the post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six cubits; and the breadth of the door, seven cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	4	So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	5	After he measured the wall of the house, six cubits; and the breadth of every side chamber, four cubits, round about the house on every side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	6	And the side chambers were three, one over another, and thirty in order; and they entered into the wall which was of the house for the side chambers round about, that they might have hold, but they had not hold in the wall of the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	7	And there was an enlarging, and a winding about still upward to the side chambers: for the winding about of the house went still upward round about the house: therefore the breadth of the house was still upward, and so increased from the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	8	I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	9	The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	10	And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	11	And the doors of the side chambers were toward the place that was left, one door toward the north, and another door toward the south: and the breadth of the place that was left was five cubits round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	12	Now the building that was before the separate place at the end toward the west was seventy cubits broad; and the wall of the building was five cubits thick round about, and the length thereof ninety cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	13	So he measured the house, an hundred cubits long; and the separate place, and the building, with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	14	Also the breadth of the face of the house, and of the separate place toward the east, an hundred cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	15	And he measured the length of the building over against the separate place which was behind it, and the galleries thereof on the one side and on the other side, an hundred cubits, with the inner temple, and the porches of the court;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	16	The door posts, and the narrow windows, and the galleries round about on their three stories, over against the door, cieled with wood round about, and from the ground up to the windows, and the windows were covered;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	17	To that above the door, even unto the inner house, and without, and by all the wall round about within and without, by measure.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	18	And it was made with cherubims and palm trees, so that a palm tree was between a cherub and a cherub; and every cherub had two faces;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	19	So that the face of a man was toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side: it was made through all the house round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	20	From the ground unto above the door were cherubims and palm trees made, and on the wall of the temple.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	21	The posts of the temple were squared, and the face of the sanctuary; the appearance of the one as the appearance of the other.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	22	The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	23	And the temple and the sanctuary had two doors.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	24	And the doors had two leaves apiece, two turning leaves; two leaves for the one door, and two leaves for the other door.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	25	And there were made on them, on the doors of the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were made upon the walls; and there were thick planks upon the face of the porch without.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	41	26	And there were narrow windows and palm trees on the one side and on the other side, on the sides of the porch, and upon the side chambers of the house, and thick planks.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	1	Then he brought me forth into the utter court, the way toward the north: and he brought me into the chamber that was over against the separate place, and which was before the building toward the north.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	2	Before the length of an hundred cubits was the north door, and the breadth was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	3	Over against the twenty cubits which were for the inner court, and over against the pavement which was for the utter court, was gallery against gallery in three stories.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	4	And before the chambers was a walk of ten cubits breadth inward, a way of one cubit; and their doors toward the north.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	5	Now the upper chambers were shorter: for the galleries were higher than these, than the lower, and than the middlemost of the building.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	6	For they were in three stories, but had not pillars as the pillars of the courts: therefore the building was straitened more than the lowest and the middlemost from the ground.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	7	And the wall that was without over against the chambers, toward the utter court on the forepart of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	8	For the length of the chambers that were in the utter court was fifty cubits: and, lo, before the temple were an hundred cubits.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	9	And from under these chambers was the entry on the east side, as one goeth into them from the utter court.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	10	The chambers were in the thickness of the wall of the court toward the east, over against the separate place, and over against the building.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	11	And the way before them was like the appearance of the chambers which were toward the north, as long as they, and as broad as they: and all their goings out were both according to their fashions, and according to their doors.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	12	And according to the doors of the chambers that were toward the south was a door in the head of the way, even the way directly before the wall toward the east, as one entereth into them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	13	Then said he unto me, The north chambers and the south chambers, which are before the separate place, they be holy chambers, where the priests that approach unto the LORD shall eat the most holy things: there shall they lay the most holy things, and the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	14	When the priests enter therein, then shall they not go out of the holy place into the utter court, but there they shall lay their garments wherein they minister; for they are holy; and shall put on other garments, and shall approach to those things which are for the people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	15	Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	16	He measured the east side with the measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	17	He measured the north side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	18	He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	19	He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	42	20	He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	1	Afterward he brought me to the gate, even the gate that looketh toward the east:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	2	And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	3	And it was according to the appearance of the vision which I saw, even according to the vision that I saw when I came to destroy the city: and the visions were like the vision that I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell upon my face.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	4	And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	5	So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	6	And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; and the man stood by me.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	7	And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	8	In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	9	Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst of them for ever.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	10	Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	11	And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	12	This is the law of the house; Upon the top of the mountain the whole limit thereof round about shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	13	And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	14	And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	15	So the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar and upward shall be four horns.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	16	And the altar shall be twelve cubits long, twelve broad, square in the four squares thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	17	And the settle shall be fourteen cubits long and fourteen broad in the four squares thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit about; and his stairs shall look toward the east.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	18	And he said unto me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	19	And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	20	And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	21	Thou shalt take the bullock also of the sin offering, and he shall burn it in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	22	And on the second day thou shalt offer a kid of the goats without blemish for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they did cleanse it with the bullock.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	23	When thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	24	And thou shalt offer them before the LORD, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and they shall offer them up for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	25	Seven days shalt thou prepare every day a goat for a sin offering: they shall also prepare a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock, without blemish.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	26	Seven days shall they purge the altar and purify it; and they shall consecrate themselves.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	43	27	And when these days are expired, it shall be, that upon the eighth day, and so forward, the priests shall make your burnt offerings upon the altar, and your peace offerings; and I will accept you, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	1	Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	2	Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	3	It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	4	Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	5	And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well, and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	6	And thou shalt say to the rebellious, even to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; O ye house of Israel, let it suffice you of all your abominations,
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	7	In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	8	And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	9	Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	10	And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	11	Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having charge at the gates of the house, and ministering to the house: they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	12	Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	13	And they shall not come near unto me, to do the office of a priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, in the most holy place: but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	14	But I will make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	15	But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	16	They shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	17	And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner court, and within.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	18	They shall have linen bonnets upon their heads, and shall have linen breeches upon their loins; they shall not gird themselves with any thing that causeth sweat.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	19	And when they go forth into the utter court, even into the utter court to the people, they shall put off their garments wherein they ministered, and lay them in the holy chambers, and they shall put on other garments; and they shall not sanctify the people with their garments.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	20	Neither shall they shave their heads, nor suffer their locks to grow long; they shall only poll their heads.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	21	Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	22	Neither shall they take for their wives a widow, nor her that is put away: but they shall take maidens of the seed of the house of Israel, or a widow that had a priest before.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	23	And they shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	24	And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it according to my judgments: and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	25	And they shall come at no dead person to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	26	And after he is cleansed, they shall reckon unto him seven days.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	27	And in the day that he goeth into the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	28	And it shall be unto them for an inheritance: I am their inheritance: and ye shall give them no possession in Israel: I am their possession.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	29	They shall eat the meat offering, and the sin offering, and the trespass offering: and every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	30	And the first of all the firstfruits of all things, and every oblation of all, of every sort of your oblations, shall be the priest's: ye shall also give unto the priest the first of your dough, that he may cause the blessing to rest in thine house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	44	31	The priests shall not eat of any thing that is dead of itself, or torn, whether it be fowl or beast.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	1	Moreover, when ye shall divide by lot the land for inheritance, ye shall offer an oblation unto the LORD, an holy portion of the land: the length shall be the length of five and twenty thousand reeds, and the breadth shall be ten thousand. This shall be holy in all the borders thereof round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	2	Of this there shall be for the sanctuary five hundred in length, with five hundred in breadth, square round about; and fifty cubits round about for the suburbs thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	3	And of this measure shalt thou measure the length of five and twenty thousand, and the breadth of ten thousand: and in it shall be the sanctuary and the most holy place.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	4	The holy portion of the land shall be for the priests the ministers of the sanctuary, which shall come near to minister unto the LORD: and it shall be a place for their houses, and an holy place for the sanctuary.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	5	And the five and twenty thousand of length, and the ten thousand of breadth, shall also the Levites, the ministers of the house, have for themselves, for a possession for twenty chambers.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	6	And ye shall appoint the possession of the city five thousand broad, and five and twenty thousand long, over against the oblation of the holy portion: it shall be for the whole house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	7	And a portion shall be for the prince on the one side and on the other side of the oblation of the holy portion, and of the possession of the city, before the oblation of the holy portion, and before the possession of the city, from the west side westward, and from the east side eastward: and the length shall be over against one of the portions, from the west border unto the east border.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	8	In the land shall be his possession in Israel: and my princes shall no more oppress my people; and the rest of the land shall they give to the house of Israel according to their tribes.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	9	Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	10	Ye shall have just balances, and a just ephah, and a just bath.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	11	The ephah and the bath shall be of one measure, that the bath may contain the tenth part of an homer, and the ephah the tenth part of an homer: the measure thereof shall be after the homer.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	12	And the shekel shall be twenty gerahs: twenty shekels, five and twenty shekels, fifteen shekels, shall be your maneh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	13	This is the oblation that ye shall offer; the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of wheat, and ye shall give the sixth part of an ephah of an homer of barley:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	14	Concerning the ordinance of oil, the bath of oil, ye shall offer the tenth part of a bath out of the cor, which is an homer of ten baths; for ten baths are an homer:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	15	And one lamb out of the flock, out of two hundred, out of the fat pastures of Israel; for a meat offering, and for a burnt offering, and for peace offerings, to make reconciliation for them, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	16	All the people of the land shall give this oblation for the prince in Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	17	And it shall be the prince's part to give burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons, and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	18	Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the first month, in the first day of the month, thou shalt take a young bullock without blemish, and cleanse the sanctuary:
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	19	And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	20	And so thou shalt do the seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	21	In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	22	And upon that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bullock for a sin offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	23	And seven days of the feast he shall prepare a burnt offering to the LORD, seven bullocks and seven rams without blemish daily the seven days; and a kid of the goats daily for a sin offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	24	And he shall prepare a meat offering of an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and an hin of oil for an ephah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	45	25	In the seventh month, in the fifteenth day of the month, shall he do the like in the feast of the seven days, according to the sin offering, according to the burnt offering, and according to the meat offering, and according to the oil.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	1	Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	2	And the prince shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate without, and shall stand by the post of the gate, and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	3	Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the sabbaths and in the new moons.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	4	And the burnt offering that the prince shall offer unto the LORD in the sabbath day shall be six lambs without blemish, and a ram without blemish.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	5	And the meat offering shall be an ephah for a ram, and the meat offering for the lambs as he shall be able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	6	And in the day of the new moon it shall be a young bullock without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram: they shall be without blemish.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	7	And he shall prepare a meat offering, an ephah for a bullock, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs according as his hand shall attain unto, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	8	And when the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of that gate, and he shall go forth by the way thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	9	But when the people of the land shall come before the LORD in the solemn feasts, he that entereth in by the way of the north gate to worship shall go out by the way of the south gate; and he that entereth by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate whereby he came in, but shall go forth over against it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	10	And the prince in the midst of them, when they go in, shall go in; and when they go forth, shall go forth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	11	And in the feasts and in the solemnities the meat offering shall be an ephah to a bullock, and an ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, and an hin of oil to an ephah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	12	Now when the prince shall prepare a voluntary burnt offering or peace offerings voluntarily unto the LORD, one shall then open him the gate that looketh toward the east, and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he did on the sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	13	Thou shalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto the LORD of a lamb of the first year without blemish: thou shalt prepare it every morning.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	14	And thou shalt prepare a meat offering for it every morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine flour; a meat offering continually by a perpetual ordinance unto the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	15	Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meat offering, and the oil, every morning for a continual burnt offering.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	16	Thus saith the Lord GOD; If the prince give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons'; it shall be their possession by inheritance.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	17	But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty; after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons' for them.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	18	Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their possession; but he shall give his sons inheritance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	19	After he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers of the priests, which looked toward the north: and, behold, there was a place on the two sides westward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	20	Then said he unto me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, where they shall bake the meat offering; that they bear them not out into the utter court, to sanctify the people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	21	Then he brought me forth into the utter court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and, behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	22	In the four corners of the court there were courts joined of forty cubits long and thirty broad: these four corners were of one measure.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	23	And there was a row of building round about in them, round about them four, and it was made with boiling places under the rows round about.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	46	24	Then said he unto me, These are the places of them that boil, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	1	Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	2	Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	3	And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	4	Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	5	Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	6	And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	7	Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	8	Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	9	And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	10	And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from Engedi even unto Eneglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	11	But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	12	And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	13	Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	14	And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	15	And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	16	Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	17	And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	18	And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	19	And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	20	The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	21	So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	22	And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	47	23	And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	1	Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for Dan.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	2	And by the border of Dan, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Asher.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	3	And by the border of Asher, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Naphtali.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	4	And by the border of Naphtali, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Manasseh.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	5	And by the border of Manasseh, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Ephraim.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	6	And by the border of Ephraim, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for Reuben.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	7	And by the border of Reuben, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for Judah.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	8	And by the border of Judah, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	9	The oblation that ye shall offer unto the LORD shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	10	And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand in length: and the sanctuary of the LORD shall be in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	11	It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	12	And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the Levites.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	13	And over against the border of the priests the Levites shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	14	And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the LORD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	15	And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	16	And these shall be the measures thereof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	17	And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	18	And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion; and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	19	And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	20	All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation foursquare, with the possession of the city.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	21	And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it shall be the holy oblation; and the sanctuary of the house shall be in the midst thereof.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	22	Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	23	As for the rest of the tribes, from the east side unto the west side, Benjamin shall have a portion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	24	And by the border of Benjamin, from the east side unto the west side, Simeon shall have a portion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	25	And by the border of Simeon, from the east side unto the west side, Issachar a portion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	26	And by the border of Issachar, from the east side unto the west side, Zebulun a portion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	27	And by the border of Zebulun, from the east side unto the west side, Gad a portion.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	28	And by the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar unto the waters of strife in Kadesh, and to the river toward the great sea.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	29	This is the land which ye shall divide by lot unto the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their portions, saith the Lord GOD.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	30	And these are the goings out of the city on the north side, four thousand and five hundred measures.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	31	And the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel: three gates northward; one gate of Reuben, one gate of Judah, one gate of Levi.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	32	And at the east side four thousand and five hundred: and three gates; and one gate of Joseph, one gate of Benjamin, one gate of Dan.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	33	And at the south side four thousand and five hundred measures: and three gates; one gate of Simeon, one gate of Issachar, one gate of Zebulun.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	34	At the west side four thousand and five hundred, with their three gates; one gate of Gad, one gate of Asher, one gate of Naphtali.
Ezekiel	Eze	26	48	35	It was round about eighteen thousand measures: and the name of the city from that day shall be, The LORD is there.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	1	In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	2	And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	3	And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes;
Daniel	Dan	27	1	4	Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	5	And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	6	Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah:
Daniel	Dan	27	1	7	Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abednego.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	8	But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	9	Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	10	And the prince of the eunuchs said unto Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your meat and your drink: for why should he see your faces worse liking than the children which are of your sort? then shall ye make me endanger my head to the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	11	Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
Daniel	Dan	27	1	12	Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	13	Then let our countenances be looked upon before thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal with thy servants.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	14	So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	15	And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	16	Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	17	As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	18	Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	19	And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	20	And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.
Daniel	Dan	27	1	21	And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	1	And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	2	Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the astrologers, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	3	And the king said unto them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit was troubled to know the dream.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	4	Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriack, O king, live for ever: tell thy servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	5	The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The thing is gone from me: if ye will not make known unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	6	But if ye shew the dream, and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour: therefore shew me the dream, and the interpretation thereof.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	7	They answered again and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will shew the interpretation of it.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	8	The king answered and said, I know of certainty that ye would gain the time, because ye see the thing is gone from me.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	9	But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, there is but one decree for you: for ye have prepared lying and corrupt words to speak before me, till the time be changed: therefore tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can shew me the interpretation thereof.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	10	The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said, There is not a man upon the earth that can shew the king's matter: therefore there is no king, lord, nor ruler, that asked such things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chaldean.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	11	And it is a rare thing that the king requireth, and there is none other that can shew it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	12	For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	13	And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	14	Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon:
Daniel	Dan	27	2	15	He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	16	Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	17	Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:
Daniel	Dan	27	2	18	That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	19	Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	20	Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:
Daniel	Dan	27	2	21	And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
Daniel	Dan	27	2	22	He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	23	I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	24	Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had ordained to destroy the wise men of Babylon: he went and said thus unto him; Destroy not the wise men of Babylon: bring me in before the king, and I will shew unto the king the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	25	Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	26	The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?
Daniel	Dan	27	2	27	Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
Daniel	Dan	27	2	28	But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
Daniel	Dan	27	2	29	As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	30	But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	31	Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	32	This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,
Daniel	Dan	27	2	33	His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	34	Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	35	Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	36	This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	37	Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	38	And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them all. Thou art this head of gold.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	39	And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	40	And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	41	And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	42	And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	43	And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	44	And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	45	Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter: and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	46	Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	47	The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	48	Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	2	49	Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	1	Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	2	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	3	Then the princes, the governors, and captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	4	Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages,
Daniel	Dan	27	3	5	That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up:
Daniel	Dan	27	3	6	And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	7	Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and all kinds of musick, all the people, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	8	Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and accused the Jews.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	9	They spake and said to the king Nebuchadnezzar, O king, live for ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	10	Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, shall fall down and worship the golden image:
Daniel	Dan	27	3	11	And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	12	There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	13	Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Then they brought these men before the king.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	14	Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
Daniel	Dan	27	3	15	Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?
Daniel	Dan	27	3	16	Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	17	If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	18	But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	19	Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	20	And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	21	Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	22	Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	23	And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	24	Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	25	He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	26	Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	27	And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	28	Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	29	Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
Daniel	Dan	27	3	30	Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	1	Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	2	I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	3	How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	4	I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	5	I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	6	Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	7	Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	8	But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,
Daniel	Dan	27	4	9	O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	10	Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	11	The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	12	The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	13	I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven;
Daniel	Dan	27	4	14	He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	15	Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	16	Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	17	This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	18	This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	19	Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	20	The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
Daniel	Dan	27	4	21	Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	22	It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	23	And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him;
Daniel	Dan	27	4	24	This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	25	That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	26	And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	27	Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	28	All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	29	At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	30	The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
Daniel	Dan	27	4	31	While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	32	And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	33	The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	34	And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
Daniel	Dan	27	4	35	And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
Daniel	Dan	27	4	36	At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellors and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added unto me.
Daniel	Dan	27	4	37	Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	1	Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	2	Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	3	Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	4	They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	5	In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	6	Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	7	The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	8	Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	9	Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	10	Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
Daniel	Dan	27	5	11	There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
Daniel	Dan	27	5	12	Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	13	Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
Daniel	Dan	27	5	14	I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	15	And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
Daniel	Dan	27	5	16	And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	17	Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	18	O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Daniel	Dan	27	5	19	And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	20	But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
Daniel	Dan	27	5	21	And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	22	And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
Daniel	Dan	27	5	23	But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:
Daniel	Dan	27	5	24	Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	25	And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	26	This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	27	TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	28	PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	29	Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	30	In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Daniel	Dan	27	5	31	And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	1	It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom;
Daniel	Dan	27	6	2	And over these three presidents; of whom Daniel was first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	3	Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	4	Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	5	Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	6	Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	7	All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	8	Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	9	Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	10	Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	11	Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	12	Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	13	Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	14	Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	15	Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	16	Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	17	And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	18	Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	19	Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	20	And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
Daniel	Dan	27	6	21	Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	22	My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	23	Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	24	And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	25	Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	26	I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	27	He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.
Daniel	Dan	27	6	28	So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	1	In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed: then he wrote the dream, and told the sum of the matters.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	2	Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	3	And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	4	The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	5	And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	6	After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	7	After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	8	I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	9	I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	10	A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	11	I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	12	As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	13	I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	14	And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	15	I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	16	I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	17	These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	18	But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	19	Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Daniel	Dan	27	7	20	And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	21	I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel	Dan	27	7	22	Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	23	Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	24	And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	25	And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	26	But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	27	And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
Daniel	Dan	27	7	28	Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	1	In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	2	And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	3	Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	4	I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	5	And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	6	And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	7	And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	8	Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	9	And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	10	And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	11	Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	12	And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	13	Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Daniel	Dan	27	8	14	And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	15	And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	16	And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	17	So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	18	Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	19	And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	20	The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	21	And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	22	Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	23	And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	24	And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	25	And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	26	And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
Daniel	Dan	27	8	27	And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	1	In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
Daniel	Dan	27	9	2	In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	3	And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
Daniel	Dan	27	9	4	And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Daniel	Dan	27	9	5	We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Daniel	Dan	27	9	6	Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	7	O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	8	O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	9	To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
Daniel	Dan	27	9	10	Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	11	Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	12	And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	13	As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	14	Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	15	And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	16	O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	17	Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	18	O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	19	O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	20	And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;
Daniel	Dan	27	9	21	Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	22	And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	23	At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	24	Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	25	Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	26	And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Daniel	Dan	27	9	27	And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	1	In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	2	In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	3	I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	4	And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
Daniel	Dan	27	10	5	Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
Daniel	Dan	27	10	6	His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	7	And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	8	Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	9	Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	10	And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	11	And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	12	Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	13	But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	14	Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	15	And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	16	And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	17	For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	18	Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,
Daniel	Dan	27	10	19	And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	20	Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
Daniel	Dan	27	10	21	But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	1	Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	2	And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	3	And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	4	And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	5	And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	6	And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	7	But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail:
Daniel	Dan	27	11	8	And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	9	So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	10	But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	11	And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	12	And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	13	For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	14	And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	15	So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	16	But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	17	He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	18	After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	19	Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	20	Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	21	And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	22	And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	23	And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	24	He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	25	And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	26	Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	27	And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	28	Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	29	At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	30	For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	31	And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	32	And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	33	And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	34	Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	35	And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	36	And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	37	Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	38	But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	39	Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	40	And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	41	He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	42	He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	43	But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	44	But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
Daniel	Dan	27	11	45	And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	1	And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	2	And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	3	And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	4	But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	5	Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	6	And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
Daniel	Dan	27	12	7	And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	8	And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Daniel	Dan	27	12	9	And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	10	Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	11	And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	12	Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Daniel	Dan	27	12	13	But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	1	The word of the LORD that came unto Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	2	The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	3	So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	4	And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	5	And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	6	And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	7	But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	8	Now when she had weaned Loruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	9	Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	10	Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
Hosea	Hos	28	1	11	Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	1	Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	2	Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Hosea	Hos	28	2	3	Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	4	And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	5	For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	6	Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	7	And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	8	For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	9	Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	10	And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	11	I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	12	And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	13	And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	14	Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	15	And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	16	And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	17	For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	18	And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	19	And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	20	I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	21	And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
Hosea	Hos	28	2	22	And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
Hosea	Hos	28	2	23	And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.
Hosea	Hos	28	3	1	Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
Hosea	Hos	28	3	2	So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley:
Hosea	Hos	28	3	3	And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
Hosea	Hos	28	3	4	For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
Hosea	Hos	28	3	5	Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	1	Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	2	By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	3	Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	4	Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	5	Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	6	My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	7	As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	8	They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	9	And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	10	For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	11	Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	12	My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	13	They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	14	I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	15	Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	16	For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	17	Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	18	Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
Hosea	Hos	28	4	19	The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	1	Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	2	And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	3	I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	4	They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	5	And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	6	They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	7	They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	8	Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	9	Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	10	The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	11	Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	12	Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	13	When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	14	For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
Hosea	Hos	28	5	15	I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	1	Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	2	After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	3	Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	4	O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	5	Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	6	For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	7	But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	8	Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	9	And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	10	I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
Hosea	Hos	28	6	11	Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	1	When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they commit falsehood; and the thief cometh in, and the troop of robbers spoileth without.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	2	And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	3	They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	4	They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	5	In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	6	For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	7	They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	8	Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	9	Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	10	And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	11	Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	12	When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	13	Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	14	And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	15	Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
Hosea	Hos	28	7	16	They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	1	Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	2	Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	3	Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	4	They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	5	Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
Hosea	Hos	28	8	6	For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	7	For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	8	Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	9	For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	10	Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	11	Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	12	I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	13	They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.
Hosea	Hos	28	8	14	For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	1	Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	2	The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	3	They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	4	They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	5	What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
Hosea	Hos	28	9	6	For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	7	The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	8	The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	9	They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	10	I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	11	As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	12	Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
Hosea	Hos	28	9	13	Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	14	Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	15	All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	16	Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
Hosea	Hos	28	9	17	My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	1	Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	2	Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	3	For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
Hosea	Hos	28	10	4	They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	5	The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	6	It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	7	As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	8	The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	9	O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	10	It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	11	And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	12	Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	13	Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	14	Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
Hosea	Hos	28	10	15	So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	1	When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	2	As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	3	I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	4	I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	5	He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	6	And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	7	And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	8	How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	9	I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	10	They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	11	They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
Hosea	Hos	28	11	12	Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	1	Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	2	The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	3	He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
Hosea	Hos	28	12	4	Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
Hosea	Hos	28	12	5	Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	6	Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	7	He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	8	And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	9	And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	10	I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	11	Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	12	And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	13	And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
Hosea	Hos	28	12	14	Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	1	When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	2	And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	3	Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	4	Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	5	I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	6	According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	7	Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
Hosea	Hos	28	13	8	I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	9	O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thine help.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	10	I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
Hosea	Hos	28	13	11	I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	12	The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	13	The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	14	I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	15	Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Hosea	Hos	28	13	16	Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	1	O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	2	Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	3	Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	4	I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	5	I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	6	His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	7	They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	8	Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.
Hosea	Hos	28	14	9	Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein.
Joel	Joel	29	1	1	The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
Joel	Joel	29	1	2	Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
Joel	Joel	29	1	3	Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
Joel	Joel	29	1	4	That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.
Joel	Joel	29	1	5	Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Joel	Joel	29	1	6	For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
Joel	Joel	29	1	7	He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
Joel	Joel	29	1	8	Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
Joel	Joel	29	1	9	The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.
Joel	Joel	29	1	10	The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
Joel	Joel	29	1	11	Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
Joel	Joel	29	1	12	The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
Joel	Joel	29	1	13	Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
Joel	Joel	29	1	14	Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD.
Joel	Joel	29	1	15	Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
Joel	Joel	29	1	16	Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
Joel	Joel	29	1	17	The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
Joel	Joel	29	1	18	How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
Joel	Joel	29	1	19	O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
Joel	Joel	29	1	20	The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Joel	Joel	29	2	1	Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
Joel	Joel	29	2	2	A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations.
Joel	Joel	29	2	3	A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
Joel	Joel	29	2	4	The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
Joel	Joel	29	2	5	Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
Joel	Joel	29	2	6	Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
Joel	Joel	29	2	7	They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
Joel	Joel	29	2	8	Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
Joel	Joel	29	2	9	They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
Joel	Joel	29	2	10	The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
Joel	Joel	29	2	11	And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Joel	Joel	29	2	12	Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
Joel	Joel	29	2	13	And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Joel	Joel	29	2	14	Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Joel	Joel	29	2	15	Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly:
Joel	Joel	29	2	16	Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
Joel	Joel	29	2	17	Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Joel	Joel	29	2	18	Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.
Joel	Joel	29	2	19	Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:
Joel	Joel	29	2	20	But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.
Joel	Joel	29	2	21	Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
Joel	Joel	29	2	22	Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Joel	Joel	29	2	23	Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
Joel	Joel	29	2	24	And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.
Joel	Joel	29	2	25	And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
Joel	Joel	29	2	26	And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joel	Joel	29	2	27	And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joel	Joel	29	2	28	And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joel	Joel	29	2	29	And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
Joel	Joel	29	2	30	And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
Joel	Joel	29	2	31	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
Joel	Joel	29	2	32	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Joel	Joel	29	3	1	For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
Joel	Joel	29	3	2	I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Joel	Joel	29	3	3	And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
Joel	Joel	29	3	4	Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
Joel	Joel	29	3	5	Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
Joel	Joel	29	3	6	The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove them far from their border.
Joel	Joel	29	3	7	Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head:
Joel	Joel	29	3	8	And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken it.
Joel	Joel	29	3	9	Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up:
Joel	Joel	29	3	10	Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.
Joel	Joel	29	3	11	Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.
Joel	Joel	29	3	12	Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about.
Joel	Joel	29	3	13	Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great.
Joel	Joel	29	3	14	Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
Joel	Joel	29	3	15	The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
Joel	Joel	29	3	16	The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Joel	Joel	29	3	17	So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.
Joel	Joel	29	3	18	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.
Joel	Joel	29	3	19	Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.
Joel	Joel	29	3	20	But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Joel	Joel	29	3	21	For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
Amos	Amos	30	1	1	The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
Amos	Amos	30	1	2	And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
Amos	Amos	30	1	3	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
Amos	Amos	30	1	4	But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
Amos	Amos	30	1	5	I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	1	6	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
Amos	Amos	30	1	7	But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
Amos	Amos	30	1	8	And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord GOD.
Amos	Amos	30	1	9	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
Amos	Amos	30	1	10	But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
Amos	Amos	30	1	11	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Amos	Amos	30	1	12	But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Amos	Amos	30	1	13	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
Amos	Amos	30	1	14	But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
Amos	Amos	30	1	15	And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	2	1	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:
Amos	Amos	30	2	2	But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:
Amos	Amos	30	2	3	And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	2	4	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
Amos	Amos	30	2	5	But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Amos	Amos	30	2	6	Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Amos	Amos	30	2	7	That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
Amos	Amos	30	2	8	And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
Amos	Amos	30	2	9	Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Amos	Amos	30	2	10	Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Amos	Amos	30	2	11	And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	2	12	But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
Amos	Amos	30	2	13	Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is full of sheaves.
Amos	Amos	30	2	14	Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:
Amos	Amos	30	2	15	Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.
Amos	Amos	30	2	16	And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	3	1	Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,
Amos	Amos	30	3	2	You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
Amos	Amos	30	3	3	Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
Amos	Amos	30	3	4	Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
Amos	Amos	30	3	5	Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken nothing at all?
Amos	Amos	30	3	6	Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
Amos	Amos	30	3	7	Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
Amos	Amos	30	3	8	The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
Amos	Amos	30	3	9	Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
Amos	Amos	30	3	10	For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
Amos	Amos	30	3	11	Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
Amos	Amos	30	3	12	Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
Amos	Amos	30	3	13	Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
Amos	Amos	30	3	14	That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
Amos	Amos	30	3	15	And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	1	Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
Amos	Amos	30	4	2	The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Amos	Amos	30	4	3	And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	4	Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
Amos	Amos	30	4	5	And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	6	And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	7	And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
Amos	Amos	30	4	8	So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	9	I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	10	I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	11	I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	4	12	Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
Amos	Amos	30	4	13	For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
Amos	Amos	30	5	1	Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.
Amos	Amos	30	5	2	The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
Amos	Amos	30	5	3	For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
Amos	Amos	30	5	4	For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:
Amos	Amos	30	5	5	But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
Amos	Amos	30	5	6	Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
Amos	Amos	30	5	7	Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
Amos	Amos	30	5	8	Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:
Amos	Amos	30	5	9	That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
Amos	Amos	30	5	10	They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
Amos	Amos	30	5	11	Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
Amos	Amos	30	5	12	For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
Amos	Amos	30	5	13	Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
Amos	Amos	30	5	14	Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
Amos	Amos	30	5	15	Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Amos	Amos	30	5	16	Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
Amos	Amos	30	5	17	And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	5	18	Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
Amos	Amos	30	5	19	As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
Amos	Amos	30	5	20	Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?
Amos	Amos	30	5	21	I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
Amos	Amos	30	5	22	Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
Amos	Amos	30	5	23	Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
Amos	Amos	30	5	24	But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Amos	Amos	30	5	25	Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
Amos	Amos	30	5	26	But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
Amos	Amos	30	5	27	Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.
Amos	Amos	30	6	1	Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
Amos	Amos	30	6	2	Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
Amos	Amos	30	6	3	Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
Amos	Amos	30	6	4	That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
Amos	Amos	30	6	5	That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
Amos	Amos	30	6	6	That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
Amos	Amos	30	6	7	Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
Amos	Amos	30	6	8	The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
Amos	Amos	30	6	9	And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
Amos	Amos	30	6	10	And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	6	11	For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
Amos	Amos	30	6	12	Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
Amos	Amos	30	6	13	Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
Amos	Amos	30	6	14	But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
Amos	Amos	30	7	1	Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Amos	Amos	30	7	2	And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
Amos	Amos	30	7	3	The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	7	4	Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
Amos	Amos	30	7	5	Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
Amos	Amos	30	7	6	The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
Amos	Amos	30	7	7	Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
Amos	Amos	30	7	8	And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:
Amos	Amos	30	7	9	And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Amos	Amos	30	7	10	Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
Amos	Amos	30	7	11	For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
Amos	Amos	30	7	12	Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Amos	Amos	30	7	13	But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
Amos	Amos	30	7	14	Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
Amos	Amos	30	7	15	And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
Amos	Amos	30	7	16	Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
Amos	Amos	30	7	17	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
Amos	Amos	30	8	1	Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
Amos	Amos	30	8	2	And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
Amos	Amos	30	8	3	And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
Amos	Amos	30	8	4	Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Amos	Amos	30	8	5	Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
Amos	Amos	30	8	6	That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
Amos	Amos	30	8	7	The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Amos	Amos	30	8	8	Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
Amos	Amos	30	8	9	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
Amos	Amos	30	8	10	And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Amos	Amos	30	8	11	Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Amos	Amos	30	8	12	And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
Amos	Amos	30	8	13	In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
Amos	Amos	30	8	14	They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos	Amos	30	9	1	I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
Amos	Amos	30	9	2	Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
Amos	Amos	30	9	3	And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
Amos	Amos	30	9	4	And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
Amos	Amos	30	9	5	And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
Amos	Amos	30	9	6	It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.
Amos	Amos	30	9	7	Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Amos	Amos	30	9	8	Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.
Amos	Amos	30	9	9	For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
Amos	Amos	30	9	10	All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
Amos	Amos	30	9	11	In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
Amos	Amos	30	9	12	That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.
Amos	Amos	30	9	13	Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
Amos	Amos	30	9	14	And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
Amos	Amos	30	9	15	And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	2	Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	3	The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	4	Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	5	If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	6	How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	7	All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	8	Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	9	And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	10	For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	11	In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	12	But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	13	Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	14	Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	15	For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	16	For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	17	But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	18	And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	19	And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	20	And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
Obadiah	Obad	31	1	21	And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD's.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	1	Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	2	Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	3	But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	4	But the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	5	Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	6	So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	7	And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	8	Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	9	And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	10	Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	11	Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	12	And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	13	Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	14	Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	15	So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	16	Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
Jonah	Jonah	32	1	17	Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	1	Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	2	And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	3	For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	4	Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	5	The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	6	I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	7	When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	8	They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	9	But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
Jonah	Jonah	32	2	10	And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	1	And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying,
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	2	Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	3	So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	4	And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	5	So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	6	For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	7	And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	8	But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	9	Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
Jonah	Jonah	32	3	10	And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	1	But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	2	And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	3	Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	4	Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	5	So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	6	And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	7	But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	8	And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	9	And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	10	Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
Jonah	Jonah	32	4	11	And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
Micah	Mic	33	1	1	The word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Micah	Mic	33	1	2	Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the LORD from his holy temple.
Micah	Mic	33	1	3	For, behold, the LORD cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon the high places of the earth.
Micah	Mic	33	1	4	And the mountains shall be molten under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, and as the waters that are poured down a steep place.
Micah	Mic	33	1	5	For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
Micah	Mic	33	1	6	Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the field, and as plantings of a vineyard: and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will discover the foundations thereof.
Micah	Mic	33	1	7	And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
Micah	Mic	33	1	8	Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
Micah	Mic	33	1	9	For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Micah	Mic	33	1	10	Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Micah	Mic	33	1	11	Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
Micah	Mic	33	1	12	For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Micah	Mic	33	1	13	O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
Micah	Mic	33	1	14	Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
Micah	Mic	33	1	15	Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.
Micah	Mic	33	1	16	Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee.
Micah	Mic	33	2	1	Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Micah	Mic	33	2	2	And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Micah	Mic	33	2	3	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
Micah	Mic	33	2	4	In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
Micah	Mic	33	2	5	Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of the LORD.
Micah	Mic	33	2	6	Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
Micah	Mic	33	2	7	O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of the LORD straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
Micah	Mic	33	2	8	Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
Micah	Mic	33	2	9	The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
Micah	Mic	33	2	10	Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
Micah	Mic	33	2	11	If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
Micah	Mic	33	2	12	I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
Micah	Mic	33	2	13	The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the LORD on the head of them.
Micah	Mic	33	3	1	And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
Micah	Mic	33	3	2	Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Micah	Mic	33	3	3	Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Micah	Mic	33	3	4	Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
Micah	Mic	33	3	5	Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Micah	Mic	33	3	6	Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Micah	Mic	33	3	7	Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God.
Micah	Mic	33	3	8	But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Micah	Mic	33	3	9	Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
Micah	Mic	33	3	10	They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Micah	Mic	33	3	11	The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Micah	Mic	33	3	12	Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Micah	Mic	33	4	1	But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
Micah	Mic	33	4	2	And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Micah	Mic	33	4	3	And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Micah	Mic	33	4	4	But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.
Micah	Mic	33	4	5	For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD our God for ever and ever.
Micah	Mic	33	4	6	In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
Micah	Mic	33	4	7	And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
Micah	Mic	33	4	8	And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem.
Micah	Mic	33	4	9	Now why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
Micah	Mic	33	4	10	Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
Micah	Mic	33	4	11	Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon Zion.
Micah	Mic	33	4	12	But they know not the thoughts of the LORD, neither understand they his counsel: for he shall gather them as the sheaves into the floor.
Micah	Mic	33	4	13	Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
Micah	Mic	33	5	1	Now gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Micah	Mic	33	5	2	But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
Micah	Mic	33	5	3	Therefore will he give them up, until the time that she which travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel.
Micah	Mic	33	5	4	And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth.
Micah	Mic	33	5	5	And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.
Micah	Mic	33	5	6	And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
Micah	Mic	33	5	7	And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
Micah	Mic	33	5	8	And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
Micah	Mic	33	5	9	Thine hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all thine enemies shall be cut off.
Micah	Mic	33	5	10	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
Micah	Mic	33	5	11	And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strong holds:
Micah	Mic	33	5	12	And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
Micah	Mic	33	5	13	Thy graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the work of thine hands.
Micah	Mic	33	5	14	And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
Micah	Mic	33	5	15	And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the heathen, such as they have not heard.
Micah	Mic	33	6	1	Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.
Micah	Mic	33	6	2	Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.
Micah	Mic	33	6	3	O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
Micah	Mic	33	6	4	For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Micah	Mic	33	6	5	O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.
Micah	Mic	33	6	6	Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?
Micah	Mic	33	6	7	Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Micah	Mic	33	6	8	He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
Micah	Mic	33	6	9	The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it.
Micah	Mic	33	6	10	Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Micah	Mic	33	6	11	Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
Micah	Mic	33	6	12	For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Micah	Mic	33	6	13	Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
Micah	Mic	33	6	14	Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword.
Micah	Mic	33	6	15	Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine.
Micah	Mic	33	6	16	For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people.
Micah	Mic	33	7	1	Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
Micah	Mic	33	7	2	The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
Micah	Mic	33	7	3	That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up.
Micah	Mic	33	7	4	The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
Micah	Mic	33	7	5	Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Micah	Mic	33	7	6	For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Micah	Mic	33	7	7	Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Micah	Mic	33	7	8	Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light unto me.
Micah	Mic	33	7	9	I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
Micah	Mic	33	7	10	Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
Micah	Mic	33	7	11	In the day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
Micah	Mic	33	7	12	In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Micah	Mic	33	7	13	Notwithstanding the land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, for the fruit of their doings.
Micah	Mic	33	7	14	Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Micah	Mic	33	7	15	According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
Micah	Mic	33	7	16	The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Micah	Mic	33	7	17	They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.
Micah	Mic	33	7	18	Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
Micah	Mic	33	7	19	He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
Micah	Mic	33	7	20	Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	1	The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	2	God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	3	The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	4	He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	5	The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	6	Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	7	The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	8	But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	9	What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	10	For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	11	There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	12	Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	13	For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	14	And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
Nahum	Nahum	34	1	15	Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	1	He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	2	For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	3	The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	4	The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	5	He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	6	The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	7	And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	8	But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	9	Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	10	She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	11	Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	12	The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
Nahum	Nahum	34	2	13	Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	1	Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	2	The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	3	The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	4	Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	5	Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	6	And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	7	And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	8	Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	9	Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	10	Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	11	Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	12	All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	13	Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	14	Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	15	There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	16	Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth away.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	17	Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	18	Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
Nahum	Nahum	34	3	19	There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	1	The burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	2	O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	3	Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	4	Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	5	Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	6	For, lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	7	They are terrible and dreadful: their judgment and their dignity shall proceed of themselves.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	8	Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	9	They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	10	And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	11	Then shall his mind change, and he shall pass over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his god.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	12	Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	13	Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	14	And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	15	They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	16	Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	1	17	Shall they therefore empty their net, and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	1	I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	2	And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	3	For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	4	Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	5	Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	6	Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	7	Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	8	Because thou hast spoiled many nations, all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	9	Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	10	Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast sinned against thy soul.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	11	For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	12	Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity!
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	13	Behold, is it not of the LORD of hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	14	For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	15	Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	16	Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin be uncovered: the cup of the LORD's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	17	For the violence of Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	18	What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	19	Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	2	20	But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	1	A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	2	O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	3	God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	4	And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	5	Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	6	He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	7	I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	8	Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	9	Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	10	The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	11	The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	12	Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	13	Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	14	Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came out as a whirlwind to scatter me: their rejoicing was as to devour the poor secretly.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	15	Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	16	When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	17	Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	18	Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
Habakkuk	Hab	35	3	19	The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	1	The word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	2	I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	3	I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumbling blocks with the wicked: and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	4	I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	5	And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	6	And them that are turned back from the LORD; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	7	Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD: for the day of the LORD is at hand: for the LORD hath prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	8	And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	9	In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	10	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	11	Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down; all they that bear silver are cut off.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	12	And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	13	Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	14	The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	15	That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	16	A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	17	And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	1	18	Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	1	Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	2	Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon you, before the day of the LORD's anger come upon you.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	3	Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD's anger.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	4	For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation: they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and Ekron shall be rooted up.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	5	Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word of the LORD is against you; O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	6	And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	7	And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon: in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit them, and turn away their captivity.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	8	I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	9	Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	10	This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the LORD of hosts.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	11	The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	12	Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	13	And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	14	And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	2	15	This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, and there is none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	1	Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	2	She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	3	Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	4	Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	5	The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	6	I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	7	I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	8	Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	9	For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	10	From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	11	In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	12	I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	13	The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	14	Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	15	The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	16	In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	17	The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	18	I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	19	Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
Zephaniah	Zep	36	3	20	At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	1	In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	1	2	Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	3	Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	1	4	Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
Haggai	Hag	37	1	5	Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	6	Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	7	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	8	Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	9	Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	10	Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	11	And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	12	Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	13	Then spake Haggai the LORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
Haggai	Hag	37	1	14	And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,
Haggai	Hag	37	1	15	In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	1	In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	2	2	Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	2	3	Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
Haggai	Hag	37	2	4	Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts:
Haggai	Hag	37	2	5	According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	6	For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
Haggai	Hag	37	2	7	And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	8	The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	9	The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	10	In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	2	11	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	2	12	If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy? And the priests answered and said, No.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	13	Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean? And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	14	Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	15	And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD:
Haggai	Hag	37	2	16	Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	17	I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	18	Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	19	Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	20	And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
Haggai	Hag	37	2	21	Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
Haggai	Hag	37	2	22	And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
Haggai	Hag	37	2	23	In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	1	In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	2	The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	3	Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	4	Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	5	Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever?
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	6	But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	7	Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	8	I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	9	Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	10	And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	11	And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	12	Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	13	And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	14	So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	15	And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	16	Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	17	Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	18	Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	19	And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	20	And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
Zechariah	Zec	38	1	21	Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	1	I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	2	Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	3	And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	4	And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein:
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	5	For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	6	Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	7	Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	8	For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	9	For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	10	Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	11	And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	12	And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
Zechariah	Zec	38	2	13	Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	1	And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	2	And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	3	Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	4	And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	5	And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	6	And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	7	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	8	Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	9	For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
Zechariah	Zec	38	3	10	In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	1	And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	2	And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	3	And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	4	So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	5	Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	6	Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	7	Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	8	Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	9	The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	10	For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	11	Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	12	And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	13	And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zechariah	Zec	38	4	14	Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	1	Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	2	And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	3	Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	4	I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	5	Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	6	And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	7	And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	8	And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	9	Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	10	Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?
Zechariah	Zec	38	5	11	And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	1	And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	2	In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses;
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	3	And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	4	Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	5	And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the LORD of all the earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	6	The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	7	And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	8	Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	9	And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	10	Take of them of the captivity, even of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	11	Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	12	And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	13	Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	14	And the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	6	15	And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	1	And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, that the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in Chisleu;
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	2	When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	3	And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	4	Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	5	Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me?
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	6	And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	7	Should ye not hear the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when men inhabited the south and the plain?
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	8	And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	9	Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	10	And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	11	But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	12	Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	13	Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
Zechariah	Zec	38	7	14	But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	1	Again the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	2	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	3	Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	4	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	5	And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	6	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	7	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	8	And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	9	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	10	For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	11	But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	12	For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	13	And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	14	For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	15	So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	16	These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	17	And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	18	And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	19	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	20	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	21	And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	22	Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	8	23	Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	1	The burden of the word of the LORD in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus shall be the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	2	And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	3	And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	4	Behold, the LORD will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	5	Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	6	And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	7	And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	8	And I will encamp about mine house because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	9	Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	10	And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	11	As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	12	Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	13	When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	14	And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	15	The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, and as the corners of the altar.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	16	And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.
Zechariah	Zec	38	9	17	For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	1	Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	2	For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	3	Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	4	Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	5	And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	6	And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	7	And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	8	I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	9	And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	10	I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	11	And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
Zechariah	Zec	38	10	12	And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	1	Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	2	Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	3	There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	4	Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	5	Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	6	For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	7	And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	8	Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	9	Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	10	And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	11	And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	12	And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	13	And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	14	Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	15	And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	16	For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
Zechariah	Zec	38	11	17	Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	1	The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	2	Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	3	And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	4	In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	5	And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	6	In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	7	The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify themselves against Judah.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	8	In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	9	And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	10	And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	11	In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	12	And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	13	The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
Zechariah	Zec	38	12	14	All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	1	In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	2	And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	3	And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	4	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	5	But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	6	And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	7	Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	8	And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein.
Zechariah	Zec	38	13	9	And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	1	Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	2	For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	3	Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	4	And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	5	And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	6	And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	7	But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	8	And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	9	And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	10	All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	11	And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	12	And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	13	And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	14	And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	15	And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	16	And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	17	And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	18	And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	19	This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	20	In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.
Zechariah	Zec	38	14	21	Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	1	The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	2	I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
Malachi	Mal	39	1	3	And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	4	Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	5	And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	6	A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?
Malachi	Mal	39	1	7	Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	8	And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	9	And now, I pray you, beseech God that he will be gracious unto us: this hath been by your means: will he regard your persons? saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	10	Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought? neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought. I have no pleasure in you, saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	11	For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	12	But ye have profaned it, in that ye say, The table of the LORD is polluted; and the fruit thereof, even his meat, is contemptible.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	13	Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the LORD.
Malachi	Mal	39	1	14	But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the LORD a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	1	And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	2	If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	3	Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	4	And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	5	My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	6	The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	7	For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	8	But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	9	Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	10	Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Malachi	Mal	39	2	11	Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	12	The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	13	And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	14	Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	15	And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	16	For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
Malachi	Mal	39	2	17	Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Malachi	Mal	39	3	1	Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	2	But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Malachi	Mal	39	3	3	And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	4	Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	5	And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	6	For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	7	Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Malachi	Mal	39	3	8	Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	9	Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	10	Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	11	And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	12	And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	13	Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Malachi	Mal	39	3	14	Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
Malachi	Mal	39	3	15	And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	16	Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	17	And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Malachi	Mal	39	3	18	Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Malachi	Mal	39	4	1	For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi	Mal	39	4	2	But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Malachi	Mal	39	4	3	And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi	Mal	39	4	4	Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Malachi	Mal	39	4	5	Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Malachi	Mal	39	4	6	And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	1	The book of the words of Tobit, son of Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, the son of Aduel, the son of Gabael, of the seed of Asael, of the tribe of Nephthali;
Tobit	Tob	67	1	2	Who in the time of Enemessar king of the Assyrians was led captive out of Thisbe, which is at the right hand of that city, which is called properly Nephthali in Galilee above Aser.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	3	I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the ways of truth and justice, and I did many almsdeeds to my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, into the land of the Assyrians.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	4	And when I was in mine own country, in the land of Israel being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house of Jerusalem, which was chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, that all the tribes should sacrifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the most High was consecrated and built for all ages.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	5	Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the house of my father Nephthali, sacrificed unto the heifer Baal.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	6	But I alone went often to Jerusalem at the feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people of Israel by an everlasting decree, having the firstfruits and tenths of increase, with that which was first shorn; and them gave I at the altar to the priests the children of Aaron.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	7	The first tenth part of all increase I gave to the sons of Aaron, who ministered at Jerusalem: another tenth part I sold away, and went, and spent it every year at Jerusalem:
Tobit	Tob	67	1	8	And the third I gave unto them to whom it was meet, as Debora my father's mother had commanded me, because I was left an orphan by my father.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	9	Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, I married Anna of mine own kindred, and of her I begat Tobias.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	10	And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were of my kindred did eat of the bread of the Gentiles.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	11	But I kept myself from eating;
Tobit	Tob	67	1	12	Because I remembered God with all my heart.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	13	And the most High gave me grace and favour before Enemessar, so that I was his purveyor.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	14	And I went into Media, and left in trust with Gabael, the brother of Gabrias, at Rages a city of Media ten talents of silver.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	15	Now when Enemessar was dead, Sennacherib his son reigned in his stead; whose estate was troubled, that I could not go into Media.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	16	And in the time of Enemessar I gave many alms to my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry,
Tobit	Tob	67	1	17	And my clothes to the naked: and if I saw any of my nation dead, or cast about the walls of Nineve, I buried him.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	18	And if the king Sennacherib had slain any, when he was come, and fled from Judea, I buried them privily; for in his wrath he killed many; but the bodies were not found, when they were sought for of the king.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	19	And when one of the Ninevites went and complained of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myself; understanding that I was sought for to be put to death, I withdrew myself for fear.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	20	Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, neither was there any thing left me, beside my wife Anna and my son Tobias.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	21	And there passed not five and fifty days, before two of his sons killed him, and they fled into the mountains of Ararath; and Sarchedonus his son reigned in his stead; who appointed over his father's accounts, and over all his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael's son.
Tobit	Tob	67	1	22	And Achiacharus intreating for me, I returned to Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of the signet, and steward, and overseer of the accounts: and Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him: and he was my brother's son.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	1	Now when I was come home again, and my wife Anna was restored unto me, with my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, in the which I sat down to eat.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	2	And when I saw abundance of meat, I said to my son, Go and bring what poor man soever thou shalt find out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord; and, lo, I tarry for thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	3	But he came again, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the marketplace.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	4	Then before I had tasted of any meat, I started up, and took him up into a room until the going down of the sun.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	5	Then I returned, and washed myself, and ate my meat in heaviness,
Tobit	Tob	67	2	6	Remembering that prophecy of Amos, as he said, Your feasts shall be turned into mourning, and all your mirth into lamentation.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	7	Therefore I wept: and after the going down of the sun I went and made a grave, and buried him.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	8	But my neighbours mocked me, and said, This man is not yet afraid to be put to death for this matter: who fled away; and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	9	The same night also I returned from the burial, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted and my face was uncovered:
Tobit	Tob	67	2	10	And I knew not that there were sparrows in the wall, and mine eyes being open, the sparrows muted warm dung into mine eyes, and a whiteness came in mine eyes: and I went to the physicians, but they helped me not: moreover Achiacharus did nourish me, until I went into Elymais.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	11	And my wife Anna did take women's works to do.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	12	And when she had sent them home to the owners, they paid her wages, and gave her also besides a kid.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	13	And when it was in my house, and began to cry, I said unto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stolen? render it to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat any thing that is stolen.
Tobit	Tob	67	2	14	But she replied upon me, It was given for a gift more than the wages. Howbeit I did not believe her, but bade her render it to the owners: and I was abashed at her. But she replied upon me, Where are thine alms and thy righteous deeds? behold, thou and all thy works are known.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	1	Then I being grieved did weep, and in my sorrow prayed, saying,
Tobit	Tob	67	3	2	O Lord, thou art just, and all thy works and all thy ways are mercy and truth, and thou judgest truly and justly for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	3	Remember me, and look on me, punish me not for my sins and ignorances, and the sins of my fathers, who have sinned before thee:
Tobit	Tob	67	3	4	For they obeyed not thy commandments: wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, and unto captivity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all the nations among whom we are dispersed.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	5	And now thy judgments are many and true: deal with me according to my sins and my fathers': because we have not kept thy commandments, neither have walked in truth before thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	6	Now therefore deal with me as seemeth best unto thee, and command my spirit to be taken from me, that I may be dissolved, and become earth: for it is profitable for me to die rather than to live, because I have heard false reproaches, and have much sorrow: command therefore that I may now be delivered out of this distress, and go into the everlasting place: turn not thy face away from me.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	7	It came to pass the same day, that in Ecbatane a city of Media Sara the daughter of Raguel was also reproached by her father's maids;
Tobit	Tob	67	3	8	Because that she had been married to seven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spirit had killed, before they had lain with her.  Dost thou not know, said they, that thou hast strangled thine husbands?  thou hast had already seven husbands, neither wast thou named after any of them.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	9	Wherefore dost thou beat us for them? if they be dead, go thy ways after them, let us never see of thee either son or daughter.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	10	Whe she heard these things, she was very sorrowful, so that she thought to have strangled herself; and she said, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do this, it shall be a reproach unto him, and I shall bring his old age with sorrow unto the grave.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	11	Then she prayed toward the window, and said, Blessed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and glorious name is blessed and honourable for ever: let all thy works praise thee for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	12	And now, O Lord, I set mine eyes and my face toward thee,
Tobit	Tob	67	3	13	And say, Take me out of the earth, that I may hear no more the reproach.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	14	Thou knowest, Lord, that I am pure from all sin with man,
Tobit	Tob	67	3	15	And that I never polluted my name, nor the name of my father, in the land of my captivity: I am the only daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his heir, neither any near kinsman, nor any son of his alive, to whom I may keep myself for a wife: my seven husbands are already dead; and why should I live? but if it please not thee that I should die, command some regard to be had of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	16	So the prayers of them both were heard before the majesty of the great God.
Tobit	Tob	67	3	17	And Raphael was sent to heal them both, that is, to scale away the whiteness of Tobit's eyes, and to give Sara the daughter of Raguel for a wife to Tobias the son of Tobit; and to bind Asmodeus the evil spirit; because she belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance.  The selfsame time came Tobit home, and entered into his house, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from her upper chamber.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	1	In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,
Tobit	Tob	67	4	2	And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the money before I die?
Tobit	Tob	67	4	3	And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	4	Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	5	My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	6	For if thou deal truly, thy doings shall prosperously succeed to thee, and to all them that live justly.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	7	Give alms of thy substance; and when thou givest alms, let not thine eye be envious, neither turn thy face from any poor, and the face of God shall not be turned away from thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	8	If thou hast abundance give alms accordingly: if thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to that little:
Tobit	Tob	67	4	9	For thou layest up a good treasure for thyself against the day of necessity.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	10	Because that alms do deliver from death, and suffereth not to come into darkness.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	11	For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the sight of the most High.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	12	Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	13	Now therefore, my son, love thy brethren, and despise not in thy heart thy brethren, the sons and daughters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them: for in pride is destruction and much trouble, and in lewdness is decay and great want: for lewdness is the mother of famine.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	14	Let not the wages of any man, which hath wrought for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand: for if thou serve God, he will also repay thee: be circumspect my son, in all things thou doest, and be wise in all thy conversation.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	15	Do that to no man which thou hatest: drink not wine to make thee drunken: neither let drunkenness go with thee in thy journey.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	16	Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy garments to them that are naked; and according to thine abundance give alms: and let not thine eye be envious, when thou givest alms.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	17	Pour out thy bread on the burial of the just, but give nothing to the wicked.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	18	Ask counsel of all that are wise, and despise not any counsel that is profitable.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	19	Bless the Lord thy God alway, and desire of him that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and counsels may prosper: for every nation hath not counsel; but the Lord himself giveth all good things, and he humbleth whom he will, as he will; now therefore, my son, remember my commandments, neither let them be put out of thy mind.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	20	And now I signify this to they that I committed ten talents to Gabael the son of Gabrias at Rages in Media.
Tobit	Tob	67	4	21	And fear not, my son, that we are made poor: for thou hast much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from all sin, and do that which is pleasing in his sight.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	1	Tobias then answered and said, Father, I will do all things which thou hast commanded me:
Tobit	Tob	67	5	2	But how can I receive the money, seeing I know him not?
Tobit	Tob	67	5	3	Then he gave him the handwriting, and said unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages: and go and receive the money.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	4	Therefore when he went to seek a man, he found Raphael that was an angel.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	5	But he knew not; and he said unto him, Canst thou go with me to Rages? and knowest thou those places well?
Tobit	Tob	67	5	6	To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, and I know the way well: for I have lodged with our brother Gabael.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	7	Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me, till I tell my father.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	8	Then he said unto him, Go and tarry not. So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I have found one which will go with me.  Then he said, Call him unto me, that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty man to go with thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	9	So he called him, and he came in, and they saluted one another.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	10	Then Tobit said unto him, Brother, shew me of what tribe and family thou art.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	11	To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy son? Then Tobit said unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and name.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	12	Then he said, I am Azarias, the son of Ananias the great, and of thy brethren.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	13	Then Tobit said, Thou art welcome, brother; be not now angry with me, because I have enquired to know thy tribe and thy family; for thou art my brother, of an honest and good stock: for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerusalem to worship, and offered the firstborn, and the tenths of the fruits; and they were not seduced with the error of our brethren: my brother, thou art of a good stock.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	14	But tell me, what wages shall I give thee? wilt thou a drachm a day, and things necessary, as to mine own son?
Tobit	Tob	67	5	15	Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add something to thy wages.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	16	So they were well pleased. Then said he to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, and God send you a good journey. And when his son had prepared all things for the journey, his father said, Go thou with this man, and God, which dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and the angel of God keep you company. So they went forth both, and the young man's dog with them.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	17	But Anna his mother wept, and said to Tobit, Why hast thou sent away our son? is he not the staff of our hand, in going in and out before us?
Tobit	Tob	67	5	18	Be not greedy to add money to money: but let it be as refuse in respect of our child.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	19	For that which the Lord hath given us to live with doth suffice us.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	20	Then said Tobit to her, Take no care, my sister; he shall return in safety, and thine eyes shall see him.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	21	For the good angel will keep him company, and his journey shall be prosperous, and he shall return safe.
Tobit	Tob	67	5	22	Then she made an end of weeping.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	1	And as they went on their journey, they came in the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged there.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	2	And when the young man went down to wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, and would have devoured him.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	3	Then the angel said unto him, Take the fish. And the young man laid hold of the fish, and drew it to land.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	4	To whom the angel said, Open the fish, and take the heart and the liver and the gall, and put them up safely.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	5	So the young man did as the angel commanded him; and when they had roasted the fish, they did eat it: then they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ecbatane.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	6	Then the young man said to the angel, Brother Azarias, to what use is the heart and the liver and the gal of the fish?
Tobit	Tob	67	6	7	And he said unto him, Touching the heart and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble any, we must make a smoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the party shall be no more vexed.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	8	As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be healed.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	9	And when they were come near to Rages,
Tobit	Tob	67	6	10	The angel said to the young man, Brother, to day we shall lodge with Raguel, who is thy cousin; he also hath one only daughter, named Sara; I will speak for her, that she may be given thee for a wife.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	11	For to thee doth the right of her appertain, seeing thou only art of her kindred.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	12	And the maid is fair and wise: now therefore hear me, and I will speak to her father; and when we return from Rages we will celebrate the marriage: for I know that Raguel cannot marry her to another according to the law of Moses, but he shall be guilty of death, because the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to thee than to any other.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	13	Then the young man answered the angel, I have heard, brother Azarias that this maid hath been given to seven men, who all died in the marriage chamber.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	14	And now I am the only son of my father, and I am afraid, lest if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before: for a wicked spirit loveth her, which hurteth no body, but those which come unto her; wherefore I also fear lest I die, and bring my father's and my mother's life because of me to the grave with sorrow: for they have no other son to bury them.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	15	Then the angel said unto him, Dost thou not remember the precepts which thy father gave thee, that thou shouldest marry a wife of thine own kindred? wherefore hear me, O my brother; for she shall be given thee to wife; and make thou no reckoning of the evil spirit; for this same night shall she be given thee in marriage.
Tobit	Tob	67	6	16	And when thou shalt come into the marriage chamber, thou shalt take the ashes of perfume, and shalt lay upon them some of the heart and liver of the fish, and shalt make a smoke with it:
Tobit	Tob	67	6	17	And the devil shall smell it, and flee away, and never come again any more: but when thou shalt come to her, rise up both of you, and pray to God which is merciful, who will have pity on you, and save you: fear not, for she is appointed unto thee from the beginning; and thou shalt preserve her, and she shall go with thee. Moreover I suppose that she shall bear thee children. Now when Tobias had heard these things, he loved her, and his heart was effectually joined to her.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	1	And when they were come to Ecbatane, they came to the house of Raguel, and Sara met them: and after they had saluted one another, she brought them into the house.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	2	Then said Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this young man to Tobit my cousin!
Tobit	Tob	67	7	3	And Raguel asked them, From whence are ye, brethren? To whom they said, We are of the sons of Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	4	Then he said to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinsman? And they said, We know him. Then said he, Is he in good health?
Tobit	Tob	67	7	5	And they said, He is both alive, and in good health: and Tobias said, He is my father.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	6	Then Raguel leaped up, and kissed him, and wept,
Tobit	Tob	67	7	7	And blessed him, and said unto him, Thou art the son of an honest and good man. But when he had heard that Tobit was blind, he was sorrowful, and wept.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	8	And likewise Edna his wife and Sara his daughter wept.  Moreover they entertained them cheerfully; and after that they had killed a ram of the flock, they set store of meat on the table. Then said Tobias to Raphael, Brother Azarias, speak of those things of which thou didst talk in the way, and let this business be dispatched.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	9	So he communicated the matter with Raguel: and Raguel said to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry:
Tobit	Tob	67	7	10	For it is meet that thou shouldest marry my daughter: nevertheless I will declare unto thee the truth.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	11	I have given my daughter in marriage to seven men, who died that night they came in unto her: nevertheless for the present be merry. But Tobias said, I will eat nothing here, till we agree and swear one to another.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	12	Raguel said, Then take her from henceforth according to the manner, for thou art her cousin, and she is thine, and the merciful God give you good success in all things.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	13	Then he called his daughter Sara, and she came to her father, and he took her by the hand, and gave her to be wife to Tobias, saying, Behold, take her after the law of Moses, and lead her away to thy father. And he blessed them;
Tobit	Tob	67	7	14	And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did write an instrument of covenants, and sealed it.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	15	Then they began to eat.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	16	After Raguel called his wife Edna, and said unto her, Sister, prepare another chamber, and bring her in thither.
Tobit	Tob	67	7	17	Which when she had done as he had bidden her, she brought her thither: and she wept, and she received the tears of her daughter, and said unto her,
Tobit	Tob	67	7	18	Be of good comfort, my daughter; the Lord of heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy sorrow: be of good comfort, my daughter.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	1	And when they had supped, they brought Tobias in unto her.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	2	And as he went, he remembered the words of Raphael, and took the ashes of the perfumes, and put the heart and the liver of the fish thereupon, and made a smoke therewith.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	3	The which smell when the evil spirit had smelled, he fled into the utmost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound him.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	4	And after that they were both shut in together, Tobias rose out of the bed, and said, Sister, arise, and let us pray that God would have pity on us.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	5	Then began Tobias to say, Blessed art thou, O God of our fathers, and blessed is thy holy and glorious name for ever; let the heavens bless thee, and all thy creatures.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	6	Thou madest Adam, and gavest him Eve his wife for an helper and stay: of them came mankind: thou hast said, It is not good that man should be alone; let us make unto him an aid like unto himself.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	7	And now, O Lord, I take not this my sister for lust but uprightly: therefore mercifully ordain that we may become aged together.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	8	And she said with him, Amen.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	9	So they slept both that night. And Raguel arose, and went and made a grave,
Tobit	Tob	67	8	10	Saying, I fear lest he also be dead.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	11	But when Raguel was come into his house,
Tobit	Tob	67	8	12	He said unto his wife Edna. Send one of the maids, and let her see whether he be alive: if he be not, that we may bury him, and no man know it.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	13	So the maid opened the door, and went in, and found them both asleep,
Tobit	Tob	67	8	14	And came forth, and told them that he was alive.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	15	Then Raguel praised God, and said, O God, thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and holy praise; therefore let thy saints praise thee with all thy creatures; and let all thine angels and thine elect praise thee for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	16	Thou art to be praised, for thou hast made me joyful; and that is not come to me which I suspected; but thou hast dealt with us according to thy great mercy.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	17	Thou art to be praised because thou hast had mercy of two that were the only begotten children of their fathers: grant them mercy, O Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and mercy.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	18	Then Raguel bade his servants to fill the grave.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	19	And he kept the wedding feast fourteen days.
Tobit	Tob	67	8	20	For before the days of the marriage were finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, that he should not depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired;
Tobit	Tob	67	8	21	And then he should take the half of his goods, and go in safety to his father; and should have the rest when I and my wife be dead.
Tobit	Tob	67	9	1	Then Tobias called Raphael, and said unto him,
Tobit	Tob	67	9	2	Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, and two camels, and go to Rages of Media to Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding.
Tobit	Tob	67	9	3	For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not depart.
Tobit	Tob	67	9	4	But my father counteth the days; and if I tarry long, he will be very sorry.
Tobit	Tob	67	9	5	So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and gave him the handwriting: who brought forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to him.
Tobit	Tob	67	9	6	And early in the morning they went forth both together, and came to the wedding: and Tobias blessed his wife.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	1	Now Tobit his father counted every day: and when the days of the journey were expired, and they came not,
Tobit	Tob	67	10	2	Then Tobit said, Are they detained? or is Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the money?
Tobit	Tob	67	10	3	Therefore he was very sorry.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	4	Then his wife said unto him, My son is dead, seeing he stayeth long; and she began to wail him, and said,
Tobit	Tob	67	10	5	Now I care for nothing, my son, since I have let thee go, the light of mine eyes.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	6	To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, take no care, for he is safe.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	7	But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	8	But his father in law said unto him, Tarry with me, and I will send to thy father, and they shall declare unto him how things go with thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	9	But Tobias said, No; but let me go to my father.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	10	Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and money:
Tobit	Tob	67	10	11	And he blessed them, and sent them away, saying, The God of heaven give you a prosperous journey, my children.
Tobit	Tob	67	10	12	And he said to his daughter, Honour thy father and thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may hear good report of thee. And he kissed her. Edna also said to Tobias, The Lord of heaven restore thee, my dear brother, and grant that I may see thy children of my daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the Lord: behold, I commit my daughter unto thee of special trust; where are do not entreat her evil.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	1	After these things Tobias went his way, praising God that he had given him a prosperous journey, and blessed Raguel and Edna his wife, and went on his way till they drew near unto Nineve.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	2	Then Raphael said to Tobias, Thou knowest, brother, how thou didst leave thy father:
Tobit	Tob	67	11	3	Let us haste before thy wife, and prepare the house.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	4	And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	5	Now Anna sat looking about toward the way for her son.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	6	And when she espied him coming, she said to his father, Behold, thy son cometh, and the man that went with him.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	7	Then said Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father will open his eyes.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	8	Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall, and being pricked therewith, he shall rub, and the whiteness shall fall away, and he shall see thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	9	Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her son, and said unto him, Seeing I have seen thee, my son, from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	10	Tobit also went forth toward the door, and stumbled: but his son ran unto him,
Tobit	Tob	67	11	11	And took hold of his father: and he strake of the gall on his fathers' eyes, saying, Be of good hope, my father.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	12	And when his eyes began to smart, he rubbed them;
Tobit	Tob	67	11	13	And the whiteness pilled away from the corners of his eyes: and when he saw his son, he fell upon his neck.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	14	And he wept, and said, Blessed art thou, O God, and blessed is thy name for ever; and blessed are all thine holy angels:
Tobit	Tob	67	11	15	For thou hast scourged, and hast taken pity on me: for, behold, I see my son Tobias. And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had happened to him in Media.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	16	Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praising God: and they which saw him go marvelled, because he had received his sight.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	17	But Tobias gave thanks before them, because God had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his daughter in law, he blessed her, saying, Thou art welcome, daughter: God be blessed, which hath brought thee unto us, and blessed be thy father and thy mother. And there was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.
Tobit	Tob	67	11	18	And Achiacharus, and Nasbas his brother's son, came:
Tobit	Tob	67	11	19	And Tobias' wedding was kept seven days with great joy.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	1	Then Tobit called his son Tobias, and said unto him, My son, see that the man have his wages, which went with thee, and thou must give him more.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	2	And Tobias said unto him, O father, it is no harm to me to give him half of those things which I have brought:
Tobit	Tob	67	12	3	For he hath brought me again to thee in safety, and made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and likewise healed thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	4	Then the old man said, It is due unto him.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	5	So he called the angel, and he said unto him, Take half of all that ye have brought and go away in safety.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	6	Then he took them both apart, and said unto them, Bless God, praise him, and magnify him, and praise him for the things which he hath done unto you in the sight of all that live. It is good to praise God, and exalt his name, and honourably to shew forth the works of God; therefore be not slack to praise him.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	7	It is good to keep close the secret of a king, but it is honourable to reveal the works of God. Do that which is good, and no evil shall touch you.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	8	Prayer is good with fasting and alms and righteousness. A little with righteousness is better than much with unrighteousness. It is better to give alms than to lay up gold:
Tobit	Tob	67	12	9	For alms doth deliver from death, and shall purge away all sin. Those that exercise alms and righteousness shall be filled with life:
Tobit	Tob	67	12	10	But they that sin are enemies to their own life.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	11	Surely I will keep close nothing from you. For I said, It was good to keep close the secret of a king, but that it was honourable to reveal the works of God.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	12	Now therefore, when thou didst pray, and Sara thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One: and when thou didst bury the dead, I was with thee likewise.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	13	And when thou didst not delay to rise up, and leave thy dinner, to go and cover the dead, thy good deed was not hid from me: but I was with thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	14	And now God hath sent me to heal thee and Sara thy daughter in law.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	15	I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels, which present the prayers of the saints, and which go in and out before the glory of the Holy One.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	16	Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	17	But he said unto them, Fear not, for it shall go well with you; praise God therefore.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	18	For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of our God I came; wherefore praise him for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	19	All these days I did appear unto you; but I did neither eat nor drink, but ye did see a vision.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	20	Now therefore give God thanks: for I go up to him that sent me; but write all things which are done in a book.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	21	And when they arose, they saw him no more.
Tobit	Tob	67	12	22	Then they confessed the great and wonderful works of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared unto them.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	1	Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	2	For he doth scourge, and hath mercy: he leadeth down to hell, and bringeth up again: neither is there any that can avoid his hand.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	3	Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	4	There declare his greatness, and extol him before all the living: for he is our Lord, and he is the God our Father for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	5	And he will scourge us for our iniquities, and will have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, among whom he hath scattered us.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	6	If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from you. Therefore see what he will do with you, and confess him with your whole mouth, and praise the Lord of might, and extol the everlasting King. In the land of my captivity do I praise him, and declare his might and majesty to a sinful nation. O ye sinners, turn and do justice before him: who can tell if he will accept you, and have mercy on you?
Tobit	Tob	67	13	7	I will extol my God, and my soul shall praise the King of heaven, and shall rejoice in his greatness.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	8	Let all men speak, and let all praise him for his righteousness.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	9	O Jerusalem, the holy city, he will scourge thee for thy children's works, and will have mercy again on the sons of the righteous.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	10	Give praise to the Lord, for he is good: and praise the everlasting King, that his tabernacle may be builded in thee again with joy, and let him make joyful there in thee those that are captives, and love in thee for ever those that are miserable.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	11	Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	12	Cursed are all they which hate thee, and blessed shall all be which love thee for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	13	Rejoice and be glad for the children of the just: for they shall be gathered together, and shall bless the Lord of the just.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	14	O blessed are they which love thee, for they shall rejoice in thy peace: blessed are they which have been sorrowful for all thy scourges; for they shall rejoice for thee, when they have seen all thy glory, and shall be glad for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	15	Let my soul bless God the great King.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	16	For Jerusalem shall be built up with sapphires and emeralds, and precious stone: thy walls and towers and battlements with pure gold.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	17	And the streets of Jerusalem shall be paved with beryl and carbuncle and stones of Ophir.
Tobit	Tob	67	13	18	And all her streets shall say, Alleluia; and they shall praise him, saying, Blessed be God, which hath extolled it for ever.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	1	So Tobit made an end of praising God.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	2	And he was eight and fifty years old when he lost his sight, which was restored to him after eight years: and he gave alms, and he increased in the fear of the Lord God, and praised him.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	3	And when he was very aged he called his son, and the sons of his son, and said to him, My son, take thy children; for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart out of this life.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	4	Go into Media my son, for I surely believe those things which Jonas the prophet spake of Nineve, that it shall be overthrown; and that for a time peace shall rather be in Media; and that our brethren shall lie scattered in the earth from that good land: and Jerusalem shall be desolate, and the house of God in it shall be burned, and shall be desolate for a time;
Tobit	Tob	67	14	5	And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	6	And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	7	So shall all nations praise the Lord, and his people shall confess God, and the Lord shall exalt his people; and all those which love the Lord God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing mercy to our brethren.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	8	And now, my son, depart out of Nineve, because that those things which the prophet Jonas spake shall surely come to pass.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	9	But keep thou the law and the commandments, and shew thyself merciful and just, that it may go well with thee.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	10	And bury me decently, and thy mother with me; but tarry no longer at Nineve. Remember, my son, how Aman handled Achiacharus that brought him up, how out of light he brought him into darkness, and how he rewarded him again: yet Achiacharus was saved, but the other had his reward: for he went down into darkness. Manasses gave alms, and escaped the snares of death which they had set for him: but Aman fell into the snare, and perished.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	11	Wherefore now, my son, consider what alms doeth, and how righteousness doth deliver. When he had said these things, he gave up the ghost in the bed, being an hundred and eight and fifty years old; and he buried him honourably.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	12	And when Anna his mother was dead, he buried her with his father. But Tobias departed with his wife and children to Ecbatane to Raguel his father in law,
Tobit	Tob	67	14	13	Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit's.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	14	And he died at Ecbatane in Media, being an hundred and seven and twenty years old.
Tobit	Tob	67	14	15	But before he died he heard of the destruction of Nineve, which was taken by Nabuchodonosor and Assuerus: and before his death he rejoiced over Nineve.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	1	In the twelfth year of the reign of Nabuchodonosor, who reigned in Nineve, the great city; in the days of Arphaxad, which reigned over the Medes in Ecbatane,
Judith	Jdt	68	1	2	And built in Ecbatane walls round about of stones hewn three cubits broad and six cubits long, and made the height of the wall seventy cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits:
Judith	Jdt	68	1	3	And set the towers thereof upon the gates of it an hundred cubits high, and the breadth thereof in the foundation threescore cubits:
Judith	Jdt	68	1	4	And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were raised to the height of seventy cubits, and the breadth of them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty armies, and for the setting in array of his footmen:
Judith	Jdt	68	1	5	Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor made war with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain in the borders of Ragau.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	6	And there came unto him all they that dwelt in the hill country, and all that dwelt by Euphrates, and Tigris and Hydaspes, and the plain of Arioch the king of the Elymeans, and very many nations of the sons of Chelod, assembled themselves to the battle.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	7	Then Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians sent unto all that dwelt in Persia, and to all that dwelt westward, and to those that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damascus, and Libanus, and Antilibanus, and to all that dwelt upon the sea coast,
Judith	Jdt	68	1	8	And to those among the nations that were of Carmel, and Galaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great plain of Esdrelom,
Judith	Jdt	68	1	9	And to all that were in Samaria and the cities thereof, and beyond Jordan unto Jerusalem, and Betane, and Chelus, and Kades, and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes, and Ramesse, and all the land of Gesem,
Judith	Jdt	68	1	10	Until ye come beyond Tanis and Memphis, and to all the inhabitants of Egypt, until ye come to the borders of Ethiopia.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	11	But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	12	Therefore Nabuchodonosor was very angry with all this country, and sware by his throne and kingdom, that he would surely be avenged upon all those coasts of Cilicia, and Damascus, and Syria, and that he would slay with the sword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and all Judea, and all that were in Egypt, till ye come to the borders of the two seas.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	13	Then he marched in battle array with his power against king Arphaxad in the seventeenth year, and he prevailed in his battle: for he overthrew all the power of Arphaxad, and all his horsemen, and all his chariots,
Judith	Jdt	68	1	14	And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecbatane, and took the towers, and spoiled the streets thereof, and turned the beauty thereof into shame.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	15	He took also Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, and smote him through with his darts, and destroyed him utterly that day.
Judith	Jdt	68	1	16	So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and all his company of sundry nations being a very great multitude of men of war, and there he took his ease, and banqueted, both he and his army, an hundred and twenty days.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	1	And in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians that he should, as he said, avenge himself on all the earth.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	2	So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret counsel, and concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	3	Then they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	4	And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	5	Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	6	And thou shalt go against all the west country, because they disobeyed my commandment.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	7	And thou shalt declare unto that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:
Judith	Jdt	68	2	8	So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow:
Judith	Jdt	68	2	9	And I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	10	Thou therefore shalt go forth. and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	11	But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye spare them; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil them wheresoever thou goest.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	12	For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	13	And take thou heed that thou transgress none of the commandments of thy lord, but accomplish them fully, as I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	14	Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the army of Assur;
Judith	Jdt	68	2	15	And he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;
Judith	Jdt	68	2	16	And he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for the war.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	17	And he took camels and asses for their carriages, a very great number; and sheep and oxen and goats without number for their provision:
Judith	Jdt	68	2	18	And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the king's house.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	19	Then he went forth and all his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen, and their chosen footmen.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	20	A great number also sundry countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth: for the multitude was without number.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	21	And they went forth of Nineve three days' journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper Cilicia.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	22	Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horsemen and chariots, and went from thence into the hill country;
Judith	Jdt	68	2	23	And destroyed Phud and Lud, and spoiled all the children of Rasses, and the children of Israel, which were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the Chellians.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	24	Then he went over Euphrates, and went through Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were upon the river Arbonai, till ye come to the sea.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	25	And he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	26	He compassed also all the children of Madian, and burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheepcotes.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	27	Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.
Judith	Jdt	68	2	28	Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the inhabitants of the sea coasts, which were in Sidon and Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in Jemnaan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him greatly.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	1	So they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying,
Judith	Jdt	68	3	2	Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	3	Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	4	Behold, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy servants; come and deal with them as seemeth good unto thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	5	So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him after this manner.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	6	Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	7	So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	8	Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	9	Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea.
Judith	Jdt	68	3	10	And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	1	Now the children of Israel, that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	2	Therefore they were exceedingly afraid of him, and were troubled for Jerusalem, and for the temple of the Lord their God:
Judith	Jdt	68	4	3	For they were newly returned from the captivity, and all the people of Judea were lately gathered together: and the vessels, and the altar, and the house, were sanctified after the profanation.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	4	Therefore they sent into all the coasts of Samaria, and the villages and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jericho, and to Choba, and Esora, and to the valley of Salem:
Judith	Jdt	68	4	5	And possessed themselves beforehand of all the tops of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were in them, and laid up victuals for the provision of war: for their fields were of late reaped.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	6	Also Joacim the high priest, which was in those days in Jerusalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and Betomestham, which is over against Esdraelon toward the open country, near to Dothaim,
Judith	Jdt	68	4	7	Charging them to keep the passages of the hill country: for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and it was easy to stop them that would come up, because the passage was straight, for two men at the most.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	8	And the children of Israel did as Joacim the high priest had commanded them, with the ancients of all the people of Israel, which dwelt at Jerusalem.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	9	Then every man of Israel cried to God with great fervency, and with great vehemency did they humble their souls:
Judith	Jdt	68	4	10	Both they, and their wives and their children, and their cattle, and every stranger and hireling, and their servants bought with money, put sackcloth upon their loins.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	11	Thus every man and women, and the little children, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, fell before the temple, and cast ashes upon their heads, and spread out their sackcloth before the face of the Lord: also they put sackcloth about the altar,
Judith	Jdt	68	4	12	And cried to the God of Israel all with one consent earnestly, that he would not give their children for a prey, and their wives for a spoil, and the cities of their inheritance to destruction, and the sanctuary to profanation and reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	13	So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their afflictions: for the people fasted many days in all Judea and Jerusalem before the sanctuary of the Lord Almighty.
Judith	Jdt	68	4	14	And Joacim the high priest, and all the priests that stood before the Lord, and they which ministered unto the Lord, had their loins girt with sackcloth, and offered the daily burnt offerings, with the vows and free gifts of the people,
Judith	Jdt	68	4	15	And had ashes on their mitres, and cried unto the Lord with all their power, that he would look upon all the house of Israel graciously.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	1	Then was it declared to Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, that the children of Israel had prepared for war, and had shut up the passages of the hill country, and had fortified all the tops of the high hills and had laid impediments in the champaign countries:
Judith	Jdt	68	5	2	Wherewith he was very angry, and called all the princes of Moab, and the captains of Ammon, and all the governors of the sea coast,
Judith	Jdt	68	5	3	And he said unto them, Tell me now, ye sons of Chanaan, who this people is, that dwelleth in the hill country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and what is the multitude of their army, and wherein is their power and strength, and what king is set over them, or captain of their army;
Judith	Jdt	68	5	4	And why have they determined not to come and meet me, more than all the inhabitants of the west.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	5	Then said Achior, the captain of all the sons of Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth of thy servant, and I will declare unto thee the truth concerning this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhabiteth the hill countries: and there shall no lie come out of the mouth of thy servant.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	6	This people are descended of the Chaldeans:
Judith	Jdt	68	5	7	And they sojourned heretofore in Mesopotamia, because they would not follow the gods of their fathers, which were in the land of Chaldea.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	8	For they left the way of their ancestors, and worshipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew: so they cast them out from the face of their gods, and they fled into Mesopotamia, and sojourned there many days.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	9	Then their God commanded them to depart from the place where they sojourned, and to go into the land of Chanaan: where they dwelt, and were increased with gold and silver, and with very much cattle.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	10	But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, they went down into Egypt, and sojourned there, while they were nourished, and became there a great multitude, so that one could not number their nation.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	11	Therefore the king of Egypt rose up against them, and dealt subtilly with them, and brought them low with labouring in brick, and made them slaves.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	12	Then they cried unto their God, and he smote all the land of Egypt with incurable plagues: so the Egyptians cast them out of their sight.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	13	And God dried the Red sea before them,
Judith	Jdt	68	5	14	And brought them to mount Sina, and Cades-Barne, and cast forth all that dwelt in the wilderness.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	15	So they dwelt in the land of the Amorites, and they destroyed by their strength all them of Esebon, and passing over Jordan they possessed all the hill country.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	16	And they cast forth before them the Chanaanite, the Pherezite, the Jebusite, and the Sychemite, and all the Gergesites, and they dwelt in that country many days.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	17	And whilst they sinned not before their God, they prospered, because the God that hateth iniquity was with them.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	18	But when they departed from the way which he appointed them, they were destroyed in many battles very sore, and were led captives into a land that was not their's, and the temple of their God was cast to the ground, and their cities were taken by the enemies.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	19	But now are they returned to their God, and are come up from the places where they were scattered, and have possessed Jerusalem, where their sanctuary is, and are seated in the hill country; for it was desolate.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	20	Now therefore, my lord and governor, if there be any error against this people, and they sin against their God, let us consider that this shall be their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall overcome them.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	21	But if there be no iniquity in their nation, let my lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend them, and their God be for them, and we become a reproach before all the world.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	22	And when Achior had finished these sayings, all the people standing round about the tent murmured, and the chief men of Holofernes, and all that dwelt by the sea side, and in Moab, spake that he should kill him.
Judith	Jdt	68	5	23	For, say they, we will not be afraid of the face of the children of Israel: for, lo, it is a people that have no strength nor power for a strong battle
Judith	Jdt	68	5	24	Now therefore, lord Holofernes, we will go up, and they shall be a prey to be devoured of all thine army.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	1	And when the tumult of men that were about the council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the company of other nations,
Judith	Jdt	68	6	2	And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied against us as to day, and hast said, that we should not make war with the people of Israel, because their God will defend them? and who is God but Nabuchodonosor?
Judith	Jdt	68	6	3	He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them: but we his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not able to sustain the power of our horses.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	4	For with them we will tread them under foot, and their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for he said, None of my words shall be in vain.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	5	And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation that came out of Egypt.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	6	And then shall the sword of mine army, and the multitude of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and thou shalt fall among their slain, when I return.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	7	Now therefore my servants shall bring thee back into the hill country, and shall set thee in one of the cities of the passages:
Judith	Jdt	68	6	8	And thou shalt not perish, till thou be destroyed with them.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	9	And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they shall be taken, let not thy countenance fall: I have spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	10	Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	11	So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	12	And when the men of the city saw them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by casting of stones against them.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	13	Nevertheless having gotten privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	14	But the Israelites descended from their city, and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought him to Bethulia, and presented him to the governors of the city:
Judith	Jdt	68	6	15	Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	16	And they called together all the ancients of the city, and all their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias asked him of that which was done.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	17	And he answered and declared unto them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	18	Then the people fell down and worshipped God, and cried unto God. saying,
Judith	Jdt	68	6	19	O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	20	Then they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly.
Judith	Jdt	68	6	21	And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	1	The next day Holofernes commanded all his army, and all his people which were come to take his part, that they should remove their camp against Bethulia, to take aforehand the ascents of the hill country, and to make war against the children of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	2	Then their strong men removed their camps in that day, and the army of the men of war was an hundred and seventy thousand footmen, and twelve thousand horsemen, beside the baggage, and other men that were afoot among them, a very great multitude.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	3	And they camped in the valley near unto Bethulia, by the fountain, and they spread themselves in breadth over Dothaim even to Belmaim, and in length from Bethulia unto Cynamon, which is over against Esdraelon.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	4	Now the children of Israel, when they saw the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, and said every one to his neighbour, Now will these men lick up the face of the earth; for neither the high mountains, nor the valleys, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	5	Then every man took up his weapons of war, and when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they remained and watched all that night.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	6	But in the second day Holofernes brought forth all his horsemen in the sight of the children of Israel which were in Bethulia,
Judith	Jdt	68	7	7	And viewed the passages up to the city, and came to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and set garrisons of men of war over them, and he himself removed toward his people.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	8	Then came unto him all the chief of the children of Esau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and the captains of the sea coast, and said,
Judith	Jdt	68	7	9	Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not an overthrow in thine army.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	10	For this people of the children of Israel do not trust in their spears, but in the height of the mountains wherein they dwell, because it is not easy to come up to the tops of their mountains.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	11	Now therefore, my lord, fight not against them in battle array, and there shall not so much as one man of thy people perish.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	12	Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine army, and let thy servants get into their hands the fountain of water, which issueth forth of the foot of the mountain:
Judith	Jdt	68	7	13	For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their water thence; so shall thirst kill them, and they shall give up their city, and we and our people shall go up to the tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon them, to watch that none go out of the city.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	14	So they and their wives and their children shall be consumed with fire, and before the sword come against them, they shall be overthrown in the streets where they dwell.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	15	Thus shalt thou render them an evil reward; because they rebelled, and met not thy person peaceably.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	16	And these words pleased Holofernes and all his servants, and he appointed to do as they had spoken.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	17	So the camp of the children of Ammon departed, and with them five thousand of the Assyrians, and they pitched in the valley, and took the waters, and the fountains of the waters of the children of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	18	Then the children of Esau went up with the children of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over against Dothaim: and they sent some of them toward the south, and toward the east over against Ekrebel, which is near unto Chusi, that is upon the brook Mochmur; and the rest of the army of the Assyrians camped in the plain, and covered the face of the whole land; and their tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	19	Then the children of Israel cried unto the Lord their God, because their heart failed, for all their enemies had compassed them round about, and there was no way to escape out from among them.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	20	Thus all the company of Assur remained about them, both their footmen, chariots, and horsemen, four and thirty days, so that all their vessels of water failed all the inhibitants of Bethulia.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	21	And the cisterns were emptied, and they had not water to drink their fill for one day; for they gave them drink by measure.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	22	Therefore their young children were out of heart, and their women and young men fainted for thirst, and fell down in the streets of the city, and by the passages of the gates, and there was no longer any strength in them.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	23	Then all the people assembled to Ozias, and to the chief of the city, both young men, and women, and children, and cried with a loud voice, and said before all the elders,
Judith	Jdt	68	7	24	God be judge between us and you: for ye have done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace of the children of Assur.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	25	For now we have no helper: but God hath sold us into their hands, that we should be thrown down before them with thirst and great destruction.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	26	Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the whole city for a spoil to the people of Holofernes, and to all his army.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	27	For it is better for us to be made a spoil unto them, than to die for thirst: for we will be his servants, that our souls may live, and not see the death of our infants before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	28	We take to witness against you the heaven and the earth, and our God and Lord of our fathers, which punisheth us according to our sins and the sins of our fathers, that he do not according as we have said this day.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	29	Then there was great weeping with one consent in the midst of the assembly; and they cried unto the Lord God with a loud voice.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	30	Then said Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which space the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us; for he will not forsake us utterly.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	31	And if these days pass, and there come no help unto us, I will do according to your word.
Judith	Jdt	68	7	32	And he dispersed the people, every one to their own charge; and they went unto the walls and towers of their city, and sent the women and children into their houses: and they were very low brought in the city.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	1	Now at that time Judith heard thereof, which was the daughter of Merari, the son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of Ozel, the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son of Gedeon, the son of Raphaim, the son of Acitho, the son of Eliu, the son of Eliab, the son of Nathanael, the son of Samael, the son of Salasadal, the son of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	2	And Manasses was her husband, of her tribe and kindred, who died in the barley harvest.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	3	For as he stood overseeing them that bound sheaves in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in the city of Bethulia: and they buried him with his fathers in the field between Dothaim and Balamo.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	4	So Judith was a widow in her house three years and four months.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	5	And she made her a tent upon the top of her house, and put on sackcloth upon her loins and ware her widow's apparel.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	6	And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, save the eves of the sabbaths, and the sabbaths, and the eves of the new moons, and the new moons and the feasts and solemn days of the house of Israel.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	7	She was also of a goodly countenance, and very beautiful to behold: and her husband Manasses had left her gold, and silver, and menservants and maidservants, and cattle, and lands; and she remained upon them.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	8	And there was none that gave her an ill word; as she feared God greatly.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	9	Now when she heard the evil words of the people against the governor, that they fainted for lack of water; for Judith had heard all the words that Ozias had spoken unto them, and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto the Assyrians after five days;
Judith	Jdt	68	8	10	Then she sent her waitingwoman, that had the government of all things that she had, to call Ozias and Chabris and Charmis, the ancients of the city.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	11	And they came unto her, and she said unto them, Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Bethulia: for your words that ye have spoken before the people this day are not right, touching this oath which ye made and pronounced between God and you, and have promised to deliver the city to our enemies, unless within these days the Lord turn to help you.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	12	And now who are ye that have tempted God this day, and stand instead of God among the children of men?
Judith	Jdt	68	8	13	And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye shall never know any thing.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	14	For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh: then how can ye search out God, that hath made all these things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	15	For if he will not help us within these five days, he hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, or to destroy us before our enemies.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	16	Do not bind the counsels of the Lord our God: for God is not as man, that he may be threatened; neither is he as the son of man, that he should be wavering.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	17	Therefore let us wait for salvation of him, and call upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it please him.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	18	For there arose none in our age, neither is there any now in these days neither tribe, nor family, nor people, nor city among us, which worship gods made with hands, as hath been aforetime.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	19	For the which cause our fathers were given to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a great fall before our enemies.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	20	But we know none other god, therefore we trust that he will not despise us, nor any of our nation.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	21	For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require the profanation thereof at our mouth.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	22	And the slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity of the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in bondage; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all them that possess us.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	23	For our servitude shall not be directed to favour: but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	24	Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew an example to our brethren, because their hearts depend upon us, and the sanctuary, and the house, and the altar, rest upon us.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	25	Moreover let us give thanks to the Lord our God, which trieth us, even as he did our fathers.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	26	Remember what things he did to Abraham, and how he tried Isaac, and what happened to Jacob in Mesopotamia of Syria, when he kept the sheep of Laban his mother's brother.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	27	For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them, for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken vengeance on us: but the Lord doth scourge them that come near unto him, to admonish them.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	28	Then said Ozias to her, All that thou hast spoken hast thou spoken with a good heart, and there is none that may gainsay thy words.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	29	For this is not the first day wherein thy wisdom is manifested; but from the beginning of thy days all the people have known thy understanding, because the disposition of thine heart is good.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	30	But the people were very thirsty, and compelled us to do unto them as we have spoken, and to bring an oath upon ourselves, which we will not break.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	31	Therefore now pray thou for us, because thou art a godly woman, and the Lord will send us rain to fill our cisterns, and we shall faint no more.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	32	Then said Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will do a thing, which shall go throughout all generations to the children of our nation.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	33	Ye shall stand this night in the gate, and I will go forth with my waitingwoman: and within the days that ye have promised to deliver the city to our enemies the Lord will visit Israel by mine hand.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	34	But enquire not ye of mine act: for I will not declare it unto you, till the things be finished that I do.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	35	Then said Ozias and the princes unto her, Go in peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take vengeance on our enemies.
Judith	Jdt	68	8	36	So they returned from the tent, and went to their wards.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	1	Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes upon her head, and uncovered the sackcloth wherewith she was clothed; and about the time that the incense of that evening was offered in Jerusalem in the house of the Lord Judith cried with a loud voice, and said,
Judith	Jdt	68	9	2	O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take vengeance of the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and discovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for thou saidst, It shall not be so; and yet they did so:
Judith	Jdt	68	9	3	Wherefore thou gavest their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and smotest the servants with their lords, and the lords upon their thrones;
Judith	Jdt	68	9	4	And hast given their wives for a prey, and their daughters to be captives, and all their spoils to be divided among thy dear children; which were moved with thy zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called upon thee for aid: O God, O my God, hear me also a widow.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	5	For thou hast wrought not only those things, but also the things which fell out before, and which ensued after; thou hast thought upon the things which are now, and which are to come.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	6	Yea, what things thou didst determine were ready at hand, and said, Lo, we are here: for all thy ways are prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	7	For, behold, the Assyrians are multiplied in their power; they are exalted with horse and man; they glory in the strength of their footmen; they trust in shield, and spear, and bow, and sling; and know not that thou art the Lord that breakest the battles: the Lord is thy name.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	8	Throw down their strength in thy power, and bring down their force in thy wrath: for they have purposed to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name resteth and to cast down with sword the horn of thy altar.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	9	Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their heads: give into mine hand, which am a widow, the power that I have conceived.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	10	Smite by the deceit of my lips the servant with the prince, and the prince with the servant: break down their stateliness by the hand of a woman.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	11	For thy power standeth not in multitude nor thy might in strong men: for thou art a God of the afflicted, an helper of the oppressed, an upholder of the weak, a protector of the forlorn, a saviour of them that are without hope.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	12	I pray thee, I pray thee, O God of my father, and God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of the heavens and earth, Creator of the waters, king of every creature, hear thou my prayer:
Judith	Jdt	68	9	13	And make my speech and deceit to be their wound and stripe, who have purposed cruel things against thy covenant, and thy hallowed house, and against the top of Sion, and against the house of the possession of thy children.
Judith	Jdt	68	9	14	And make every nation and tribe to acknowledge that thou art the God of all power and might, and that there is none other that protecteth the people of Israel but thou.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	1	Now after that she had ceased to cry unto the God of Israel, and bad made an end of all these words.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	2	She rose where she had fallen down, and called her maid, and went down into the house in the which she abode in the sabbath days, and in her feast days,
Judith	Jdt	68	10	3	And pulled off the sackcloth which she had on, and put off the garments of her widowhood, and washed her body all over with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and braided the hair of her head, and put on a tire upon it, and put on her garments of gladness, wherewith she was clad during the life of Manasses her husband.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	4	And she took sandals upon her feet, and put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and her rings, and her earrings, and all her ornaments, and decked herself bravely, to allure the eyes of all men that should see her.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	5	Then she gave her maid a bottle of wine, and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with parched corn, and lumps of figs, and with fine bread; so she folded all these things together, and laid them upon her.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	6	Thus they went forth to the gate of the city of Bethulia, and found standing there Ozias and the ancients of the city, Chabris and Charmis.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	7	And when they saw her, that her countenance was altered, and her apparel was changed, they wondered at her beauty very greatly, and said unto her.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	8	The God, the God of our fathers give thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprizes to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the exaltation of Jerusalem. Then they worshipped God.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	9	And she said unto them, Command the gates of the city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accomplish the things whereof ye have spoken with me. So they commanded the young men to open unto her, as she had spoken.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	10	And when they had done so, Judith went out, she, and her maid with her; and the men of the city looked after her, until she was gone down the mountain, and till she had passed the valley, and could see her no more.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	11	Thus they went straight forth in the valley: and the first watch of the Assyrians met her,
Judith	Jdt	68	10	12	And took her, and asked her, Of what people art thou? and whence comest thou? and whither goest thou? And she said, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled from them: for they shall be given you to be consumed:
Judith	Jdt	68	10	13	And I am coming before Holofernes the chief captain of your army, to declare words of truth; and I will shew him a way, whereby he shall go, and win all the hill country, without losing the body or life of any one of his men.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	14	Now when the men heard her words, and beheld her countenance, they wondered greatly at her beauty, and said unto her,
Judith	Jdt	68	10	15	Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast hasted to come down to the presence of our lord: now therefore come to his tent, and some of us shall conduct thee, until they have delivered thee to his hands.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	16	And when thou standest before him, be not afraid in thine heart, but shew unto him according to thy word; and he will entreat thee well.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	17	Then they chose out of them an hundred men to accompany her and her maid; and they brought her to the tent of Holofernes.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	18	Then was there a concourse throughout all the camp: for her coming was noised among the tents, and they came about her, as she stood without the tent of Holofernes, till they told him of her.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	19	And they wondered at her beauty, and admired the children of Israel because of her, and every one said to his neighbour, Who would despise this people, that have among them such women? surely it is not good that one man of them be left who being let go might deceive the whole earth.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	20	And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and all his servants and they brought her into the tent.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	21	Now Holofernes rested upon his bed under a canopy, which was woven with purple, and gold, and emeralds, and precious stones.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	22	So they shewed him of her; and he came out before his tent with silver lamps going before him.
Judith	Jdt	68	10	23	And when Judith was come before him and his servants they all marvelled at the beauty of her countenance; and she fell down upon her face, and did reverence unto him: and his servants took her up.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	1	Then said Holofernes unto her, Woman, be of good comfort, fear not in thine heart: for I never hurt any that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor, the king of all the earth.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	2	Now therefore, if thy people that dwelleth in the mountains had not set light by me, I would not have lifted up my spear against them: but they have done these things to themselves.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	3	But now tell me wherefore thou art fled from them, and art come unto us: for thou art come for safeguard; be of good comfort, thou shalt live this night, and hereafter:
Judith	Jdt	68	11	4	For none shall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as they do the servants of king Nabuchodonosor my lord.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	5	Then Judith said unto him, Receive the words of thy servant, and suffer thine handmaid to speak in thy presence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	6	And if thou wilt follow the words of thine handmaid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pass by thee; and my lord shall not fail of his purposes.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	7	As Nabuchodonosor king of all the earth liveth, and as his power liveth, who hath sent thee for the upholding of every living thing: for not only men shall serve him by thee, but also the beasts of the field, and the cattle, and the fowls of the air, shall live by thy power under Nabuchodonosor and all his house.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	8	For we have heard of thy wisdom and thy policies, and it is reported in all the earth, that thou only art excellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, and wonderful in feats of war.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	9	Now as concerning the matter, which Achior did speak in thy council, we have heard his words; for the men of Bethulia saved him, and he declared unto them all that he had spoken unto thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	10	Therefore, O lord and governor, respect not his word; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true: for our nation shall not be punished, neither can sword prevail against them, except they sin against their God.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	11	And now, that my lord be not defeated and frustrate of his purpose, even death is now fallen upon them, and their sin hath overtaken them, wherewith they will provoke their God to anger whensoever they shall do that which is not fit to be done:
Judith	Jdt	68	11	12	For their victuals fail them, and all their water is scant, and they have determined to lay hands upon their cattle, and purposed to consume all those things, that God hath forbidden them to eat by his laws:
Judith	Jdt	68	11	13	And are resolved to spend the firstfruits of the the tenths of wine and oil, which they had sanctified, and reserved for the priests that serve in Jerusalem before the face of our God; the which things it is not lawful for any of the people so much as to touch with their hands.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	14	For they have sent some to Jerusalem, because they also that dwell there have done the like, to bring them a licence from the senate.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	15	Now when they shall bring them word, they will forthwith do it, and they shall be given to thee to be destroyed the same day.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	16	Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am fled from their presence; and God hath sent me to work things with thee, whereat all the earth shall be astonished, and whosoever shall hear it.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	17	For thy servant is religious, and serveth the God of heaven day and night: now therefore, my lord, I will remain with thee, and thy servant will go out by night into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will tell me when they have committed their sins:
Judith	Jdt	68	11	18	And I will come and shew it unto thee: then thou shalt go forth with all thine army, and there shall be none of them that shall resist thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	19	And I will lead thee through the midst of Judea, until thou come before Jerusalem; and I will set thy throne in the midst thereof; and thou shalt drive them as sheep that have no shepherd, and a dog shall not so much as open his mouth at thee: for these things were told me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared unto me, and I am sent to tell thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	20	Then her words pleased Holofernes and all his servants; and they marvelled at her wisdom, and said,
Judith	Jdt	68	11	21	There is not such a woman from one end of the earth to the other, both for beauty of face, and wisdom of words.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	22	Likewise Holofernes said unto her. God hath done well to send thee before the people, that strength might be in our hands and destruction upon them that lightly regard my lord.
Judith	Jdt	68	11	23	And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, and witty in thy words: surely if thou do as thou hast spoken thy God shall be my God, and thou shalt dwell in the house of king Nabuchodonosor, and shalt be renowned through the whole earth.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	1	Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	2	And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	3	Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	4	Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	5	Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,
Judith	Jdt	68	12	6	And sent to Holofernes, saving, Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	7	Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	8	And when she came out, she besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her people.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	9	So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	10	And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	11	Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	12	For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	13	Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	14	Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	15	So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas far her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	16	Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	17	Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be merry with us.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	18	So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	19	Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.
Judith	Jdt	68	12	20	And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	1	Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	2	And Judith was left along in the tent, and Holofernes lying along upon his bed: for he was filled with wine.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	3	Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her. coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	4	So all went forth and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the works of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	5	For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute thine enterprizes to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	6	Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion from thence,
Judith	Jdt	68	13	7	And approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	8	And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	9	And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;
Judith	Jdt	68	13	10	And she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	11	Then said Judith afar off, to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	12	Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	13	And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	14	Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	15	So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	16	As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	17	Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	18	Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	19	For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.
Judith	Jdt	68	13	20	And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said; So be it, so be it.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	1	Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	2	And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	3	Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	4	So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	5	But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	6	Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	7	But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith's feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	8	Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	9	And when she had left off speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	10	And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	11	And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	12	But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	13	So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	14	Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	15	But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	16	Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	17	After he went into the tent where Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried,
Judith	Jdt	68	14	18	These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.
Judith	Jdt	68	14	19	When the captains of the Assyrians' army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	1	And when they that were in the tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	2	And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	3	They also that had camped in the mountains round about Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	4	Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	5	Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	6	And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	7	And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	8	Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to salute her.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	9	And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation:
Judith	Jdt	68	15	10	Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	11	And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	12	Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.
Judith	Jdt	68	15	13	And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	1	Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	2	And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	3	For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	4	Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	5	He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	6	But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	7	For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	8	For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	9	Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	10	The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	11	Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	12	The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives' children: they perished by the battle of the Lord.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	13	I will sing unto the Lord a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	14	Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	15	For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	16	For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	17	Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	18	Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings, and their gifts.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	19	Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	20	So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and Judith remained with them.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	21	After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	22	And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	23	But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed old in her husband's house, being an hundred and five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	24	And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.
Judith	Jdt	68	16	25	And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	1	Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	2	For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	3	For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	4	For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	5	For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	6	For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	7	For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	8	Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	9	For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	10	For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	11	Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	12	Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	13	For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	14	For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	15	(For righteousness is immortal:)
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	1	16	But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	1	For the ungodly said, reasoning with themselves, but not aright, Our life is short and tedious, and in the death of a man there is no remedy: neither was there any man known to have returned from the grave.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	2	For we are born at all adventure: and we shall be hereafter as though we had never been: for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a little spark in the moving of our heart:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	3	Which being extinguished, our body shall be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish as the soft air,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	4	And our name shall be forgotten in time, and no man shall have our works in remembrance, and our life shall pass away as the trace of a cloud, and shall be dispersed as a mist, that is driven away with the beams of the sun, and overcome with the heat thereof.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	5	For our time is a very shadow that passeth away; and after our end there is no returning: for it is fast sealed, so that no man cometh again.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	6	Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	7	Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and ointments: and let no flower of the spring pass by us:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	8	Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they be withered:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	9	Let none of us go without his part of our voluptuousness: let us leave tokens of our joyfulness in every place: for this is our portion, and our lot is this.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	10	Let us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of the aged.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	11	Let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	12	Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	13	He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself the child of the Lord.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	14	He was made to reprove our thoughts.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	15	He is grievous unto us even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, his ways are of another fashion.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	16	We are esteemed of him as counterfeits: he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness: he pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is his father.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	17	Let us see if his words be true: and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	18	For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	19	Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	20	Let us condemn him with a shameful death: for by his own saying he shall be respected.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	21	Such things they did imagine, and were deceived: for their own wickedness hath blinded them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	22	As for the mysteries of God, they kn ew them not: neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	23	For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	2	24	Nevertheless through envy of the devil came death into the world: and they that do hold of his side do find it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	1	But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	2	In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	3	And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	4	For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	5	And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	6	As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	7	And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	8	They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	9	They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	10	But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	11	For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	12	Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	13	Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	14	And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	15	For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	16	As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	17	For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	18	Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	3	19	For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	1	Better it is to have no children, and to have virtue: for the memorial thereof is immortal: because it is known with God, and with men.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	2	When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth a crown, and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	3	But the multiplying brood of the ungodly shall not thrive, nor take deep rooting from bastard slips, nor lay any fast foundation.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	4	For though they flourish in branches for a time; yet standing not last, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	5	The imperfect branches shall be broken off, their fruit unprofitable, not ripe to eat, yea, meet for nothing.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	6	For children begotten of unlawful beds are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	7	But though the righteous be prevented with death, yet shall he be in rest.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	8	For honourable age is not that which standeth in length of time, nor that is measured by number of years.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	9	But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	10	He pleased God, and was beloved of him: so that living among sinners he was translated.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	11	Yea speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	12	For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	13	He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	14	For his soul pleased the Lord: therefore hasted he to take him away from among the wicked.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	15	This the people saw, and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds, That his grace and mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect unto his chosen.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	16	Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly which are living; and youth that is soon perfected the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	17	For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	18	They shall see him, and despise him; but God shall laugh them to scorn: and they shall hereafter be a vile carcase, and a reproach among the dead for evermore.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	19	For he shall rend them, and cast them down headlong, that they shall be speechless; and he shall shake them from the foundation; and they shall be utterly laid waste, and be in sorrow; and their memorial shall perish.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	4	20	And when they cast up the accounts of their sins, they shall come with fear: and their own iniquities shall convince them to their face.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	1	Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness before the face of such as have afflicted him, and made no account of his labours.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	2	When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, and shall be amazed at the strangeness of his salvation, so far beyond all that they looked for.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	3	And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit shall say within themselves, This was he, whom we had sometimes in derision, and a proverb of reproach:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	4	We fools accounted his life madness, and his end to be without honour:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	5	How is he numbered among the children of God, and his lot is among the saints!
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	6	Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness hath not shined unto us, and the sun of righteousness rose not upon us.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	7	We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: yea, we have gone through deserts, where there lay no way: but as for the way of the Lord, we have not known it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	8	What hath pride profited us? or what good hath riches with our vaunting brought us?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	9	All those things are passed away like a shadow, and as a post that hasted by;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	10	And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	11	Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, there is no token of her way to be found, but the light air being beaten with the stroke of her wings and parted with the violent noise and motion of them, is passed through, and therein afterwards no sign where she went is to be found;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	12	Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the air, which immediately cometh together again, so that a man cannot know where it went through:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	13	Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, and had no sign of virtue to shew; but were consumed in our own wickedness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	14	For the hope of the Godly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; like a thin froth that is driven away with the storm; like as the smoke which is dispersed here and there with a tempest, and passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but a day.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	15	But the righteous live for evermore; their reward also is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the most High.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	16	Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand: for with his right hand shall he cover them, and with his arm shall he protect them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	17	He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge of his enemies.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	18	He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, and true judgment instead of an helmet.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	19	He shall take holiness for an invincible shield.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	20	His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, and the world shall fight with him against the unwise.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	21	Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; and from the clouds, as from a well drawn bow, shall they fly to the mark.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	22	And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, and the water of the sea shall rage against them, and the floods shall cruelly drown them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	5	23	Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them, and like a storm shall blow them away: thus iniquity shall lay waste the whole earth, and ill dealing shall overthrow the thrones of the mighty.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	1	Hear therefore, O ye kings, and understand; learn, ye that be judges of the ends of the earth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	2	Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the multitude of nations.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	3	For power is given you of the Lord, and sovereignty from the Highest, who shall try your works, and search out your counsels.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	4	Because, being ministers of his kingdom, ye have not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the counsel of God;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	5	Horribly and speedily shall he come upon you: for a sharp judgment shall be to them that be in high places.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	6	For mercy will soon pardon the meanest: but mighty men shall be mightily tormented.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	7	For he which is Lord over all shall fear no man's person, neither shall he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he hath made the small and great, and careth for all alike.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	8	But a sore trial shall come upon the mighty.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	9	Unto you therefore, O kings, do I speak, that ye may learn wisdom, and not fall away.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	10	For they that keep holiness holily shall be judged holy: and they that have learned such things shall find what to answer.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	11	Wherefore set your affection upon my words; desire them, and ye shall be instructed.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	12	Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	13	She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	14	Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	15	To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	16	For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	17	For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	18	And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	19	And incorruption maketh us near unto God:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	20	Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	21	If your delight be then in thrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	22	As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	23	Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	24	But the multitude of the wise is the welfare of the world: and a wise king is the upholding of the people.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	6	25	Receive therefore instruction through my words, and it shall do you good.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	1	I myself also am a mortal man, like to all, and the offspring of him that was first made of the earth,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	2	And in my mother's womb was fashioned to be flesh in the time of ten months, being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleep.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	3	And when I was born, I drew in the common air, and fell upon the earth, which is of like nature, and the first voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	4	I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	5	For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	6	For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	7	Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	8	I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	9	Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	10	I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	11	All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	12	And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	13	I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	14	For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	15	God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	16	For in his hand are both we and our words; all wisdom also, and knowledge of workmanship.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	17	For he hath given me certain knowledge of the things that are, namely, to know how the world was made, and the operation of the elements:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	18	The beginning, ending, and midst of the times: the alterations of the turning of the sun, and the change of seasons:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	19	The circuits of years, and the positions of stars:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	20	The natures of living creatures, and the furies of wild beasts: the violence of winds, and the reasonings of men: the diversities of plants and the virtues of roots:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	21	And all such things as are either secret or manifest, them I know.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	22	For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	23	Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	24	For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	25	For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	26	For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	27	And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	28	For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	29	For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	7	30	For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	1	Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	2	I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	3	In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	4	For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	5	If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	6	And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	7	And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as en can have nothing more profitable in their life.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	8	If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	9	Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	10	For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	11	I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	12	When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	13	Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	14	I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	15	Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	16	After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	17	Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	18	And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	19	For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	20	Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	8	21	Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	1	O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	2	And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	3	And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	4	Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	5	For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	6	For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	7	Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	8	Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	9	And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	10	O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	11	For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	12	So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	13	For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	14	For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	15	For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	16	And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	17	And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	9	18	For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	1	She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	2	And gave him power to rule all things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	3	But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	4	For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	5	Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	6	When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	7	Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	8	For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	9	But wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	10	When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	11	In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	12	She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	13	When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	14	And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	15	She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	16	She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	17	Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	18	Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	19	But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	20	Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	10	21	For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	1	She prospered their works in the hand of the holy prophet.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	2	They went through the wilderness that was not inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay no way.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	3	They stood against their enemies, and were avenged of their adversaries.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	4	When they were thirsty, they called upon thee, and water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their thirst was quenched out of the hard stone.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	5	For by what things their enemies were punished, by the same they in their need were benefited.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	6	For instead of a perpetual running river troubled with foul blood,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	7	For a manifest reproof of that commandment, whereby the infants were slain, thou gavest unto them abundance of water by a means which they hoped not for:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	8	Declaring by that thirst then how thou hadst punished their adversaries.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	9	For when they were tried albeit but in mercy chastised, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath and tormented, thirsting in another manner than the just.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	10	For these thou didst admonish and try, as a father: but the other, as a severe king, thou didst condemn and punish.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	11	Whether they were absent or present, they were vexed alike.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	12	For a double grief came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	13	For when they heard by their own punishments the other to be benefited, they had some feeling of the Lord.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	14	For whom they respected with scorn, when he was long before thrown out at the casting forth of the infants, him in the end, when they saw what came to pass, they admired.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	15	But for the foolish devices of their wickedness, wherewith being deceived they worshipped serpents void of reason, and vile beasts, thou didst send a multitude of unreasonable beasts upon them for vengeance;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	16	That they might know, that wherewithal a man sinneth, by the same also shall he be punished.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	17	For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of matter without form, wanted not means to send among them a multitude of bears or fierce lions,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	18	Or unknown wild beasts, full of rage, newly created, breathing out either a fiery vapour, or filthy scents of scattered smoke, or shooting horrible sparkles out of their eyes:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	19	Whereof not only the harm might dispatch them at once, but also the terrible sight utterly destroy them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	20	Yea, and without these might they have fallen down with one blast, being persecuted of vengeance, and scattered abroad through the breath of thy power: but thou hast ordered all things in measure and number and weight.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	21	For thou canst shew thy great strength at all times when thou wilt; and who may withstand the power of thine arm?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	22	For the whole world before thee is as a little grain of the balance, yea, as a drop of the morning dew that falleth down upon the earth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	23	But thou hast mercy upon all; for thou canst do all things, and winkest at the sins of men, because they should amend.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	24	For thou lovest all the things that are, and abhorrest nothing which thou hast made: for never wouldest thou have made any thing, if thou hadst hated it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	25	And how could any thing have endured, if it had not been thy will? or been preserved, if not called by thee?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	11	26	But thou sparest all: for they are thine, O Lord, thou lover of souls.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	1	For thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	2	Therefore chastenest thou them by little and little that offend, and warnest them by putting them in remembrance wherein they have offended, that leaving their wickedness they may believe on thee, O Lord.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	3	For it was thy will to destroy by the hands of our fathers both those old inhabitants of thy holy land,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	4	Whom thou hatedst for doing most odious works of witchcrafts, and wicked sacrifices;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	5	And also those merciless murderers of children, and devourers of man's flesh, and the feasts of blood,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	6	With their priests out of the midst of their idolatrous crew, and the parents, that killed with their own hands souls destitute of help:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	7	That the land, which thou esteemedst above all other, might receive a worthy colony of God's children.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	8	Nevertheless even those thou sparedst as men, and didst send wasps, forerunners of thine host, to destroy them by little and little.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	9	Not that thou wast unable to bring the ungodly under the hand of the righteous in battle, or to destroy them at once with cruel beasts, or with one rough word:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	10	But executing thy judgments upon them by little and little, thou gavest them place of repentance, not being ignorant that they were a naughty generation, and that their malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would never be changed.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	11	For it was a cursed seed from the beginning; neither didst thou for fear of any man give them pardon for those things wherein they sinned.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	12	For who shall say, What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall accuse thee for the nations that perish, whom thou made? or who shall come to stand against thee, to be revenged for the unrighteous men?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	13	For neither is there any God but thou that careth for all, to whom thou mightest shew that thy judgment is not unright.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	14	Neither shall king or tyrant be able to set his face against thee for any whom thou hast punished.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	15	Forsomuch then as thou art righteous thyself, thou orderest all things righteously: thinking it not agreeable with thy power to condemn him that hath not deserved to be punished.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	16	For thy power is the beginning of righteousness, and because thou art the Lord of all, it maketh thee to be gracious unto all.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	17	For when men will not believe that thou art of a full power, thou shewest thy strength, and among them that know it thou makest their boldness manifest.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	18	But thou, mastering thy power, judgest with equity, and orderest us with great favour: for thou mayest use power when thou wilt.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	19	But by such works hast thou taught thy people that the just man should be merciful, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope that thou givest repentance for sins.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	20	For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy children, and the condemned to death, with such deliberation, giving them time and place, whereby they might be delivered from their malice:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	21	With how great circumspection didst thou judge thine own sons, unto whose fathers thou hast sworn, and made covenants of good promises?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	22	Therefore, whereas thou dost chasten us, thou scourgest our enemies a thousand times more, to the intent that, when we judge, we should carefully think of thy goodness, and when we ourselves are judged, we should look for mercy.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	23	Wherefore, whereas men have lived dissolutely and unrighteously, thou hast tormented them with their own abominations.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	24	For they went astray very far in the ways of error, and held them for gods, which even among the beasts of their enemies were despised, being deceived, as children of no understanding.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	25	Therefore unto them, as to children without the use of reason, thou didst send a judgment to mock them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	26	But they that would not be reformed by that correction, wherein he dallied with them, shall feel a judgment worthy of God.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	12	27	For, look, for what things they grudged, when they were punished, that is, for them whom they thought to be gods; [now] being punished in them, when they saw it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom before they denied to know: and therefore came extreme damnation upon them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	1	Surely vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant of God, and could not out of the good things that are seen know him that is: neither by considering the works did they acknowledge the workmaster;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	2	But deemed either fire, or wind, or the swift air, or the circle of the stars, or the violent water, or the lights of heaven, to be the gods which govern the world.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	3	With whose beauty if they being delighted took them to be gods; let them know how much better the Lord of them is: for the first author of beauty hath created them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	4	But if they were astonished at their power and virtue, let them understand by them, how much mightier he is that made them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	5	For by the greatness and beauty of the creatures proportionably the maker of them is seen.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	6	But yet for this they are the less to be blamed: for they peradventure err, seeking God, and desirous to find him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	7	For being conversant in his works they search him diligently, and believe their sight: because the things are beautiful that are seen.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	8	Howbeit neither are they to be pardoned.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	9	For if they were able to know so much, that they could aim at the world; how did they not sooner find out the Lord thereof?
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	10	But miserable are they, and in dead things is their hope, who call them gods, which are the works of men's hands, gold and silver, to shew art in, and resemblances of beasts, or a stone good for nothing, the work of an ancient hand.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	11	Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	12	And after spending the refuse of his work to dress his meat, hath filled himself;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	13	And taking the very refuse among those which served to no use, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, hath carved it diligently, when he had nothing else to do, and formed it by the skill of his understanding, and fashioned it to the image of a man;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	14	Or made it like some vile beast, laying it over with vermilion, and with paint colouring it red, and covering every spot therein;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	15	And when he had made a convenient room for it, set it in a wall, and made it fast with iron:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	16	For he provided for it that it might not fall, knowing that it was unable to help itself; for it is an image, and hath need of help:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	17	Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife and children, and is not ashamed to speak to that which hath no life.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	18	For health he calleth upon that which is weak: for life prayeth to that which is dead; for aid humbly beseecheth that which hath least means to help: and for a good journey he asketh of that which cannot set a foot forward:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	13	19	And for gaining and getting, and for good success of his hands, asketh ability to do of him, that is most unable to do any thing.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	1	Again, one preparing himself to sail, and about to pass through the raging waves, calleth upon a piece of wood more rotten than the vessel that carrieth him.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	2	For verily desire of gain devised that, and the workman built it by his skill.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	3	But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way in the sea, and a safe path in the waves;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	4	Shewing that thou canst save from all danger: yea, though a man went to sea without art.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	5	Nevertheless thou wouldest not that the works of thy wisdom should be idle, and therefore do men commit their lives to a small piece of wood, and passing the rough sea in a weak vessel are saved.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	6	For in the old time also, when the proud giants perished, the hope of the world governed by thy hand escaped in a weak vessel, and left to all ages a seed of generation.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	7	For blessed is the wood whereby righteousness cometh.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	8	But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	9	For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	10	For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	11	Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	12	For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	13	For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	14	For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	15	For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	16	Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	17	Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	18	Also the singular diligence of the artificer did help to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	19	For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	20	And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	21	And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	22	Moreover this was not enough for them, that they erred in the knowledge of God; but whereas they lived in the great war of ignorance, those so great plagues called they peace.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	23	For whilst they slew their children in sacrifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made revellings of strange rites;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	24	They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer undefiled: but either one slew another traiterously, or grieved him by adultery.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	25	So that there reigned in all men without exception blood, manslaughter, theft, and dissimulation, corruption, unfaithfulness, tumults, perjury,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	26	Disquieting of good men, forgetfulness of good turns, defiling of souls, changing of kind, disorder in marriages, adultery, and shameless uncleanness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	27	For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	28	For either they are mad when they be merry, or prophesy lies, or live unjustly, or else lightly forswear themselves.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	29	For insomuch as their trust is in idols, which have no life; though they swear falsely, yet they look not to be hurt.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	30	Howbeit for both causes shall they be justly punished: both because they thought not well of God, giving heed unto idols, and also unjustly swore in deceit, despising holiness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	14	31	For it is not the power of them by whom they swear: but it is the just vengeance of sinners, that punisheth always the offence of the ungodly.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	1	But thou, O God, art gracious and true, longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	2	For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy power: but we will not sin, knowing that we are counted thine.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	3	For to know thee is perfect righteousness: yea, to know thy power is the root of immortality.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	4	For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter's fruitless labour;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	5	The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	6	Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	7	For the potter, tempering soft earth, fashioneth every vessel with much labour for our service: yea, of the same clay he maketh both the vessels that serve for clean uses, and likewise also all such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of either sort, the potter himself is the judge.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	8	And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain god of the same clay, even he which a little before was made of earth himself, and within a little while after returneth to the same, out when his life which was lent him shall be demanded.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	9	Notwithstanding his care is, not that he shall have much labour, nor that his life is short: but striveth to excel goldsmiths and silversmiths, and endeavoureth to do like the workers in brass, and counteth it his glory to make counterfeit things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	10	His heart is ashes, his hope is more vile than earth, and his life of less value than clay:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	11	Forasmuch as he knew not his Maker, and him that inspired into him an active soul, and breathed in a living spirit.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	12	But they counted our life a pastime, and our time here a market for gain: for, say they, we must be getting every way, though it be by evil means.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	13	For this man, that of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels and graven images, knoweth himself to offend above all others.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	14	And all the enemies of thy people, that hold them in subjection, are most foolish, and are more miserable than very babes.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	15	For they counted all the idols of the heathen to be gods: which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle; and as for their feet, they are slow to go.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	16	For man made them, and he that borrowed his own spirit fashioned them: but no man can make a god like unto himself.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	17	For being mortal, he worketh a dead thing with wicked hands: for he himself is better than the things which he worshippeth: whereas he lived once, but they never.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	18	Yea, they worshipped those beasts also that are most hateful: for being compared together, some are worse than others.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	15	19	Neither are they beautiful, so much as to be desired in respect of beasts: but they went without the praise of God and his blessing.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	1	Therefore by the like were they punished worthily, and by the multitude of beasts tormented.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	2	Instead of which punishment, dealing graciously with thine own people, thou preparedst for them meat of a strange taste, even quails to stir up their appetite:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	3	To the end that they, desiring food, might for the ugly sight of the beasts sent among them lothe even that, which they must needs desire; but these, suffering penury for a short space, might be made partakers of a strange taste.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	4	For it was requisite, that upon them exercising tyranny should come penury, which they could not avoid: but to these it should only be shewed how their enemies were tormented.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	5	For when the horrible fierceness of beasts came upon these, and they perished with the stings of crooked serpents, thy wrath endured not for ever:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	6	But they were troubled for a small season, that they might be admonished, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	7	For he that turned himself toward it was not saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, that art the Saviour of all.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	8	And in this thou madest thine enemies confess, that it is thou who deliverest from all evil:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	9	For them the bitings of grasshoppers and flies killed, neither was there found any remedy for their life: for they were worthy to be punished by such.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	10	But thy sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame: for thy mercy was ever by them, and healed them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	11	For they were pricked, that they should remember thy words; and were quickly saved, that not falling into deep forgetfulness, they might be continually mindful of thy goodness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	12	For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaister, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	13	For thou hast power of life and death: thou leadest to the gates of hell, and bringest up again.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	14	A man indeed killeth through his malice: and the spirit, when it is gone forth, returneth not; neither the soul received up cometh again.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	15	But it is not possible to escape thine hand.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	16	For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm: with strange rains, hails, and showers, were they persecuted, that they could not avoid, and through fire were they consumed.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	17	For, which is most to be wondered at, the fire had more force in the water, that quencheth all things: for the world fighteth for the righteous.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	18	For sometime the flame was mitigated, that it might not burn up the beasts that were sent against the ungodly; but themselves might see and perceive that they were persecuted with the judgment of God.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	19	And at another time it burneth even in the midst of water above the power of fire, that it might destroy the fruits of an unjust land.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	20	Instead whereof thou feddest thine own people with angels' food, and didst send them from heaven bread prepared without their labour, able to content every man's delight, and agreeing to every taste.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	21	For thy sustenance declared thy sweetness unto thy children, and serving to the appetite of the eater, tempered itself to every man's liking.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	22	But snow and ice endured the fire, and melted not, that they might know that fire burning in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did destroy the fruits of the enemies.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	23	But this again did even forget his own strength, that the righteous might be nourished.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	24	For the creature that serveth thee, who art the Maker increaseth his strength against the unrighteous for their punishment, and abateth his strength for the benefit of such as put their trust in thee.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	25	Therefore even then was it altered into all fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that nourisheth all things, according to the desire of them that had need:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	26	That thy children, O Lord, whom thou lovest, might know, that it is not the growing of fruits that nourisheth man: but that it is thy word, which preserveth them that put their trust in thee.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	27	For that which was not destroyed of the fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, soon melted away:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	28	That it might be known, that we must prevent the sun to give thee thanks, and at the dayspring pray unto thee.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	16	29	For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's hoar frost, and shall run away as unprofitable water.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	1	For great are thy judgments, and cannot be expressed: therefore unnurtured souls have erred.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	2	For when unrighteous men thought to oppress the holy nation; they being shut up in their houses, the prisoners of darkness, and fettered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] exiled from the eternal providence.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	3	For while they supposed to lie hid in their secret sins, they were scattered under a dark veil of forgetfulness, being horribly astonished, and troubled with [strange] apparitions.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	4	For neither might the corner that held them keep them from fear: but noises [as of waters] falling down sounded about them, and sad visions appeared unto them with heavy countenances.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	5	No power of the fire might give them light: neither could the bright flames of the stars endure to lighten that horrible night.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	6	Only there appeared unto them a fire kindled of itself, very dreadful: for being much terrified, they thought the things which they saw to be worse than the sight they saw not.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	7	As for the illusions of art magick, they were put down, and their vaunting in wisdom was reproved with disgrace.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	8	For they, that promised to drive away terrors and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of fear, worthy to be laughed at.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	9	For though no terrible thing did fear them; yet being scared with beasts that passed by, and hissing of serpents,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	10	They died for fear, denying that they saw the air, which could of no side be avoided.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	11	For wickedness, condemned by her own witness, is very timorous, and being pressed with conscience, always forecasteth grievous things.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	12	For fear is nothing else but a betraying of the succours which reason offereth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	13	And the expectation from within, being less, counteth the ignorance more than the cause which bringeth the torment.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	14	But they sleeping the same sleep that night, which was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of the bottoms of inevitable hell,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	15	Were partly vexed with monstrous apparitions, and partly fainted, their heart failing them: for a sudden fear, and not looked for, came upon them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	16	So then whosoever there fell down was straitly kept, shut up in a prison without iron bars,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	17	For whether he were husbandman, or shepherd, or a labourer in the field, he was overtaken, and endured that necessity, which could not be avoided: for they were all bound with one chain of darkness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	18	Whether it were a whistling wind, or a melodious noise of birds among the spreading branches, or a pleasing fall of water running violently,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	19	Or a terrible sound of stones cast down, or a running that could not be seen of skipping beasts, or a roaring voice of most savage wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the hollow mountains; these things made them to swoon for fear.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	20	For the whole world shined with clear light, and none were hindered in their labour:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	17	21	Over them only was spread an heavy night, an image of that darkness which should afterward receive them: but yet were they unto themselves more grievous than the darkness.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	1	Nevertheless thy saints had a very great light, whose voice they hearing, and not seeing their shape, because they also had not suffered the same things, they counted them happy.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	2	But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and besought them pardon for that they had been enemies.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	3	Instead whereof thou gavest them a burning pillar of fire, both to be a guide of the unknown journey, and an harmless sun to entertain them honourably.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	4	For they were worthy to be deprived of light and imprisoned in darkness, who had kept thy sons shut up, by whom the uncorrupt light of the law was to be given unto the world.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	5	And when they had determined to slay the babes of the saints, one child being cast forth, and saved, to reprove them, thou tookest away the multitude of their children, and destroyedst them altogether in a mighty water.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	6	Of that night were our fathers certified afore, that assuredly knowing unto what oaths they had given credence, they might afterwards be of good cheer.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	7	So of thy people was accepted both the salvation of the righteous, and destruction of the enemies.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	8	For wherewith thou didst punish our adversaries, by the same thou didst glorify us, whom thou hadst called.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	9	For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	10	But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noise was carried abroad for children that were bewailed.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	11	The master and the servant were punished after one manner; and like as the king, so suffered the common person.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	12	So they all together had innumerable dead with one kind of death; neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	13	For whereas they would not believe any thing by reason of the enchantments; upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged this people to be the sons of God.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	14	For while all things were in quiet silence, and that night was in the midst of her swift course,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	15	Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the midst of a land of destruction,
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	16	And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a sharp sword, and standing up filled all things with death; and it touched the heaven, but it stood upon the earth.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	17	Then suddenly visions of horrible dreams troubled them sore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	18	And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, shewed the cause of his death.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	19	For the dreams that troubled them did foreshew this, lest they should perish, and not know why they were afflicted.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	20	Yea, the tasting of death touched the righteous also, and there was a destruction of the multitude in the wilderness: but the wrath endured not long.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	21	For then the blameless man made haste, and stood forth to defend them; and bringing the shield of his proper ministry, even prayer, and the propitiation of incense, set himself against the wrath, and so brought the calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy servant.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	22	So he overcame the destroyer, not with strength of body, nor force of arms, but with a word subdued him that punished, alleging the oaths and covenants made with the fathers.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	23	For when the dead were now fallen down by heaps one upon another, standing between, he stayed the wrath, and parted the way to the living.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	24	For in the long garment was the whole world, and in the four rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy Majesty upon the daidem of his head.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	18	25	Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	1	As for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without mercy unto the end: for he knew before what they would do;
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	2	How that having given them leave to depart, and sent them hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	3	For whilst they were yet mourning and making lamentation at the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and pursued them as fugitives, whom they had intreated to be gone.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	4	For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto this end, and made them forget the things that had already happened, that they might fulfil the punishment which was wanting to their torments:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	5	And that thy people might pass a wonderful way: but they might find a strange death.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	6	For the whole creature in his proper kind was fashioned again anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	7	As namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	8	Wherethrough all the people went that were defended with thy hand, seeing thy marvellous strange wonders.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	9	For they went at large like horses, and leaped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	10	For they were yet mindful of the things that were done while they sojourned in the strange land, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	11	But afterwards they saw a new generation of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, they asked delicate meats.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	12	For quails came up unto them from the sea for their contentment.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	13	And punishments came upon the sinners not without former signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	14	For the Sodomites did not receive those, whom they knew not when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had well deserved of them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	15	And not only so, but peradventure some respect shall be had of those, because they used strangers not friendly:
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	16	But these very grievously afflicted them, whom they had received with feastings, and were already made partakers of the same laws with them.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	17	Therefore even with blindness were these stricken, as those were at the doors of the righteous man: when, being compassed about with horrible great darkness, every one sought the passage of his own doors.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	18	For the elements were changed in themselves by a kind of harmony, like as in a psaltery notes change the name of the tune, and yet are always sounds; which may well be perceived by the sight of the things that have been done.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	19	For earthly things were turned into watery, and the things, that before swam in the water, now went upon the ground.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	20	The fire had power in the water, forgetting his own virtue: and the water forgat his own quenching nature.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	21	On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of the corruptible living things, though they walked therein; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat that was of nature apt to melt.
Wisdom of Solomon	Wis	70	19	22	For in all things, O Lord, thou didst magnify thy people, and glorify them, neither didst thou lightly regard them: but didst assist them in every time and place.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	1	All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	2	Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
Sirach	Sir	71	1	3	Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?
Sirach	Sir	71	1	4	Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	5	The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	6	To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?
Sirach	Sir	71	1	7	[Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest?  and who hath understood her great experience?]
Sirach	Sir	71	1	8	There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	9	He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	10	She is with all flesh according to his gift, and he hath given her to them that love him.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	11	The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of rejoicing.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	12	The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and giveth joy, and gladness, and a long life.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	13	Whoso feareth the Lord, it shall go well with him at the last, and he shall find favour in the day of his death.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	14	To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and it was created with the faithful in the womb.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	15	She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	16	To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and filleth men with her fruits.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	17	She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the garners with her increase.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	18	The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	19	Wisdom raineth down skill and knowledge of understanding standing, and exalteth them to honour that hold her fast.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	20	The root of wisdom is to fear the Lord, and the branches thereof are long life.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	21	The fear of the Lord driveth away sins: and where it is present, it turneth away wrath.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	22	A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	23	A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	24	He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	25	The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	26	If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	27	For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	28	Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	29	Be not an hypocrite in the sight of men, and take good heed what thou speakest.
Sirach	Sir	71	1	30	Exalt not thyself, lest thou fall, and bring dishonour upon thy soul, and so God discover thy secrets, and cast thee down in the midst of the congregation, because thou camest not in truth to the fear of the Lord, but thy heart is full of deceit.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	1	My son, if thou come to serve the Lord, prepare thy soul for temptation.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	2	Set thy heart aright, and constantly endure, and make not haste in time of trouble.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	3	Cleave unto him, and depart not away, that thou mayest be increased at thy last end.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	4	Whatsoever is brought upon thee take cheerfully, and be patient when thou art changed to a low estate.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	5	For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	6	Believe in him, and he will help thee; order thy way aright, and trust in him.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	7	Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; and go not aside, lest ye fall.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	8	Ye that fear the Lord, believe him; and your reward shall not fail.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	9	Ye that fear the Lord, hope for good, and for everlasting joy and mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	10	Look at the generations of old, and see; did ever any trust in the Lord, and was confounded? or did any abide in his fear, and was forsaken? or whom did he ever despise, that called upon him?
Sirach	Sir	71	2	11	For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and very pitiful, and forgiveth sins, and saveth in time of affliction.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	12	Woe be to fearful hearts, and faint hands, and the sinner that goeth two ways!
Sirach	Sir	71	2	13	Woe unto him that is fainthearted! for he believeth not; therefore shall he not be defended.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	14	Woe unto you that have lost patience! and what will ye do when the Lord shall visit you?
Sirach	Sir	71	2	15	They that fear the Lord will not disobey his Word; and they that love him will keep his ways.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	16	They that fear the Lord will seek that which is well, pleasing unto him; and they that love him shall be filled with the law.
Sirach	Sir	71	2	17	They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,
Sirach	Sir	71	2	18	Saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men: for as his majesty is, so is his mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	1	Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	2	For the Lord hath given the father honour over the children, and hath confirmed the authority of the mother over the sons.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	3	Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:
Sirach	Sir	71	3	4	And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	5	Whoso honoureth his father shall have joy of his own children; and when he maketh his prayer, he shall be heard.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	6	He that honoureth his father shall have a long life; and he that is obedient unto the Lord shall be a comfort to his mother.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	7	He that feareth the Lord will honour his father, and will do service unto his parents, as to his masters.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	8	Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	9	For the blessing of the father establisheth the houses of children; but the curse of the mother rooteth out foundations.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	10	Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	11	For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father; and a mother in dishonour is a reproach to the children.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	12	My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	13	And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	14	For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	15	In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	16	He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer; and he that angereth his mother is cursed: of God.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	17	My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	18	The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	19	Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	20	For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	21	Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	22	But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	23	Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	24	For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	25	Without eyes thou shalt want light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	26	A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	27	An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	28	In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	29	The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	30	Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	3	31	And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	1	My son, defraud not the poor of his living, and make not the needy eyes to wait long.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	2	Make not an hungry soul sorrowful; neither provoke a man in his distress.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	3	Add not more trouble to an heart that is vexed; and defer not to give to him that is in need.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	4	Reject not the supplication of the afflicted; neither turn away thy face from a poor man.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	5	Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him none occasion to curse thee:
Sirach	Sir	71	4	6	For if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard of him that made him.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	7	Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to a great man.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	8	Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	9	Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor; and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	10	Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of an husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	11	Wisdom exalteth her children, and layeth hold of them that seek her.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	12	He that loveth her loveth life; and they that seek to her early shall be filled with joy.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	13	He that holdeth her fast shall inherit glory; and wheresoever she entereth, the Lord will bless.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	14	They that serve her shall minister to the Holy One: and them that love her the Lord doth love.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	15	Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations: and he that attendeth unto her shall dwell securely.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	16	If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her; and his generation shall hold her in possession.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	17	For at the first she will walk with him by crooked ways, and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	18	Then will she return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	19	But if he go wrong, she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	20	Observe the opportunity, and beware of evil; and be not ashamed when it concerneth thy soul.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	21	For there is a shame that bringeth sin; and there is a shame which is glory and grace.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	22	Accept no person against thy soul, and let not the reverence of any man cause thee to fall.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	23	And refrain not to speak, when there is occasion to do good, and hide not thy wisdom in her beauty.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	24	For by speech wisdom shall be known: and learning by the word of the tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	25	In no wise speak against the truth; but be abashed of the error of thine ignorance.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	26	Be not ashamed to confess thy sins; and force not the course of the river.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	27	Make not thyself an underling to a foolish man; neither accept the person of the mighty.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	28	Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	29	Be not hasty in thy tongue, and in thy deeds slack and remiss.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	30	Be not as a lion in thy house, nor frantick among thy servants.
Sirach	Sir	71	4	31	Let not thine hand be stretched out to receive, and shut when thou shouldest repay.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	1	Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	2	Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:
Sirach	Sir	71	5	3	And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	4	Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me?  for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	5	Concerning propitiation, be not without fear to add sin unto sin:
Sirach	Sir	71	5	6	And say not His mercy is great; he will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth upon sinners.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	7	Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, and in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	8	Set not thine heart upon goods unjustly gotten, for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	9	Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	10	Be stedfast in thy understanding; and let thy word be the same.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	11	Be swift to hear; and let thy life be sincere; and with patience give answer.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	12	If thou hast understanding, answer thy neighbour; if not, lay thy hand upon thy mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	13	Honour and shame is in talk: and the tongue of man is his fall.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	14	Be not called a whisperer, and lie not in wait with thy tongue: for a foul shame is upon the thief, and an evil condemnation upon the double tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	5	15	Be not ignorant of any thing in a great matter or a small.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	1	Instead of a friend become not an enemy; for [thereby] thou shalt inherit an ill name, shame, and reproach: even so shall a sinner that hath a double tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	2	Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own heart; that thy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull [straying alone.]
Sirach	Sir	71	6	3	Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy fruit, and leave thyself as a dry tree.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	4	A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his enemies.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	5	Sweet language will multiply friends: and a fairspeaking tongue will increase kind greetings.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	6	Be in peace with many: nevertheless have but one counsellor of a thousand.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	7	If thou wouldest get a friend, prove him first and be not hasty to credit him.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	8	For some man is a friend for his own occasion, and will not abide in the day of thy trouble.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	9	And there is a friend, who being turned to enmity, and strife will discover thy reproach.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	10	Again, some friend is a companion at the table, and will not continue in the day of thy affliction.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	11	But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, and will be bold over thy servants.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	12	If thou be brought low, he will be against thee, and will hide himself from thy face.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	13	Separate thyself from thine enemies, and take heed of thy friends.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	14	A faithfull friend is a strong defence: and he that hath found such an one hath found a treasure.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	15	Nothing doth countervail a faithful friend, and his excellency is invaluable.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	16	A faithful friend is the medicine of life; and they that fear the Lord shall find him.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	17	Whoso feareth the Lord shall direct his friendship aright: for as he is, so shall his neighbour be also.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	18	My son, gather instruction from thy youth up: so shalt thou find wisdom till thine old age.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	19	Come unto her as one that ploweth and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: for thou shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but thou shalt eat of her fruits right soon.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	20	She is very unpleasant to the unlearned: he that is without understanding will not remain with her.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	21	She will lie upon him as a mighty stone of trial; and he will cast her from him ere it be long.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	22	For wisdom is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	23	Give ear, my son, receive my advice, and refuse not my counsel,
Sirach	Sir	71	6	24	And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into her chain.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	25	Bow down thy shoulder, and bear her, and be not grieved with her bonds.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	26	Come unto her with thy whole heart, and keep her ways with all thy power.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	27	Search, and seek, and she shall be made known unto thee: and when thou hast got hold of her, let her not go.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	28	For at the last thou shalt find her rest, and that shall be turned to thy joy.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	29	Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and her chains a robe of glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	30	For there is a golden ornament upon her, and her bands are purple lace.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	31	Thou shalt put her on as a robe of honour, and shalt put her about thee as a crown of joy.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	32	My son, if thou wilt, thou shalt be taught: and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be prudent.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	33	If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,
Sirach	Sir	71	6	34	Stand in the multitude of the elders; and cleave unto him that is wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	35	Be willing to hear every godly discourse; and let not the parables of understanding escape thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	36	And if thou seest a man of understanding, get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot wear the steps of his door.
Sirach	Sir	71	6	37	Let thy mind be upon the ordinances of the Lord and meditate continually in his commandments: he shall establish thine heart, and give thee wisdom at thine owns desire.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	1	Do no evil, so shall no harm come unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	2	Depart from the unjust, and iniquity shall turn away from thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	3	My son, sow not upon the furrows of unrighteousness, and thou shalt not reap them sevenfold.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	4	Seek not of the Lord preeminence, neither of the king the seat of honour.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	5	justify not thyself before the Lord; and boast not of thy wisdom before the king.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	6	Seek not to be judge, being not able to take away iniquity; lest at any time thou fear the person of the mighty, an stumblingblock in the way of thy uprightness.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	7	Offend not against the multitude of a city, and then thou shalt not cast thyself down among the people.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	8	Bind not one sin upon another; for in one thou shalt not be unpunished.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	9	Say not, God will look upon the multitude of my oblations, and when I offer to the most high God, he will accept it.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	10	Be not fainthearted when thou makest thy prayer, and neglect not to give alms.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	11	Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one which humbleth and exalteth.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	12	Devise not a lie against thy brother; neither do the like to thy friend.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	13	Use not to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	14	Use not many words in a multitude of elders, and make not much babbling when thou prayest.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	15	Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the most High hath ordained.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	16	Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	17	Humble thyself greatly: for the vengeance of the ungodly is fire and worms.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	18	Change not a friend for any good by no means; neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	19	Forego not a wise and good woman: for her grace is above gold.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	20	Whereas thy servant worketh truly, entreat him not evil. nor the hireling that bestoweth himself wholly for thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	21	Let thy soul love a good servant, and defraud him not of liberty.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	22	Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	23	Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	24	Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	25	Marry thy daughter, and so shalt thou have performed a weighty matter: but give her to a man of understanding.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	26	Hast thou a wife after thy mind? forsake her not: but give not thyself over to a light woman.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	27	Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	28	Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee?
Sirach	Sir	71	7	29	Fear the Lord with all thy soul, and reverence his priests.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	30	Love him that made thee with all thy strength, and forsake not his ministers.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	31	Fear the Lord, and honor the priest; and give him his portion, as it is commanded thee; the firstfruits, and the trespass offering, and the gift of the shoulders, and the sacrifice of sanctification, and the firstfruits of the holy things.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	32	And stretch thine hand unto the poor, that thy blessing may be perfected.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	33	A gift hath grace in the sight of every man living; and for the dead detain it not.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	34	Fail not to be with them that weep, and mourn with them that mourn.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	35	Be not slow to visit the sick: for that shall make thee to be beloved.
Sirach	Sir	71	7	36	Whatsoever thou takest in hand, remember the end, and thou shalt never do amiss.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	1	Strive not with a mighty man' lest thou fall into his hands.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	2	Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	3	Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	4	Jest not with a rude man, lest thy ancestors be disgraced.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	5	Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, but remember that we are all worthy of punishment.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	6	Dishonour not a man in his old age: for even some of us wax old.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	7	Rejoice not over thy greatest enemy being dead, but remember that we die all.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	8	Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	9	Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	10	Kindle not the coals of a sinner, lest thou be burnt with the flame of his fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	11	Rise not up [in anger] at the presence of an injurious person, lest he lie in wait to entrap thee in thy words
Sirach	Sir	71	8	12	Lend not unto him that is mightier than thyself; for if thou lendest him, count it but lost.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	13	Be not surety above thy power: for if thou be surety, take care to pay it.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	14	Go not to law with a judge; for they will judge for him according to his honour.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	15	Travel not by the way with a bold fellow, lest he become grievous unto thee: for he will do according to his own will, and thou shalt perish with him through his folly.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	16	Strive not with an angry man, and go not with him into a solitary place: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help, he will overthrow thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	17	Consult not with a fool; for he cannot keep counsel.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	18	Do no secret thing before a stranger; for thou knowest not what he will bring forth.
Sirach	Sir	71	8	19	Open not thine heart to every man, lest he requite thee with a shrewd turn.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	1	Be not jealous over the wife of thy bosom, and teach her not an evil lesson against thyself.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	2	Give not thy soul unto a woman to set her foot upon thy substance.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	3	Meet not with an harlot, lest thou fall into her snares.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	4	Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	5	Gaze not on a maid, that thou fall not by those things that are precious in her.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	6	Give not thy soul unto harlots, that thou lose not thine inheritance.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	7	Look not round about thee in the streets of the city, neither wander thou in the solitary place thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	8	Turn away thine eye from a beautiful woman, and look not upon another's beauty; for many have been deceived by the beauty of a woman; for herewith love is kindled as a fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	9	Sit not at all with another man's wife, nor sit down with her in thine arms, and spend not thy money with her at the wine; lest thine heart incline unto her, and so through thy desire thou fall into destruction.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	10	Forsake not an old friend; for the new is not comparable to him: a new friend is as new wine; when it is old, thou shalt drink it with pleasure.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	11	Envy not the glory of a sinner: for thou knowest not what shall be his end.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	12	Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished unto their grave.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	13	Keep thee far from the man that hath power to kill; so shalt thou not doubt the fear of death: and if thou come unto him, make no fault, lest he take away thy life presently: remember that thou goest in the midst of snares, and that thou walkest upon the battlements of the city.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	14	As near as thou canst, guess at thy neighbour, and consult with the wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	15	Let thy talk be with the wise, and all thy communication in the law of the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	16	And let just men eat and drink with thee; and let thy glorying be in the fear of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	17	For the hand of the artificer the work shall be commended: and the wise ruler of the people for his speech.
Sirach	Sir	71	9	18	A man of an ill tongue is dangerous in his city; and he that is rash in his talk shall be hated.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	1	A wise judge will instruct his people; and the government of a prudent man is well ordered.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	2	As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	3	An unwise king destroyeth his people; but through the prudence of them which are in authority the city shall be inhabited.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	4	The power of the earth is in the hand of the Lord, and in due time he will set over it one that is profitable.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	5	In the hand of God is the prosperity of man: and upon the person of the scribe shall he lay his honour.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	6	Bear not hatred to thy neighbour for every wrong; and do nothing at all by injurious practices.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	7	Pride is hateful before God and man: and by both doth one commit iniquity.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	8	Because of unrighteous dealings, injuries, and riches got by deceit, the kingdom is translated from one people to another.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	9	Why is earth and ashes proud? There is not a more wicked thing than a covetous man: for such an one setteth his own soul to sale; because while he liveth he casteth away his bowels.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	10	The physician cutteth off a long disease; and he that is to day a king to morrow shall die.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	11	For when a man is dead, he shall inherit creeping things, beasts, and worms.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	12	The beginning of pride is when one departeth from God, and his heart is turned away from his Maker.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	13	For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	14	The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, and set up the meek in their stead.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	15	The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, and planted the lowly in their place.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	16	The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and destroyed them to the foundations of the earth.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	17	He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	18	Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them that are born of a woman.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	19	They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an honourable plant: they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	20	Among brethren he that is chief is honorable; so are they that fear the Lord in his eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	21	The fear of the Lord goeth before the obtaining of authority: but roughness and pride is the losing thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	22	Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is the fear of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	23	It is not meet to despise the poor man that hath understanding; neither is it convenient to magnify a sinful man.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	24	Great men, and judges, and potentates, shall be honoured; yet is there none of them greater than he that feareth the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	25	Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free do service: and he that hath knowledge will not grudge when he is reformed.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	26	Be not overwise in doing thy business; and boast not thyself in the time of thy distress.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	27	Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself, and wanteth bread.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	28	My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to the dignity thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	29	Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own life?
Sirach	Sir	71	10	30	The poor man is honoured for his skill, and the rich man is honoured for his riches.
Sirach	Sir	71	10	31	He that is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches? and he that is dishonourable in riches, how much more in poverty?
Sirach	Sir	71	11	1	Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	2	Commend not a man for his beauty; neither abhor a man for his outward appearance.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	3	The bee is little among such as fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	4	Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honour: for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works among men are hidden.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	5	Many kings have sat down upon the ground; and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	6	Many mighty men have been greatly disgraced; and the honourable delivered into other men's hands.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	7	Blame not before thou hast examined the truth: understand first, and then rebuke.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	8	Answer not before thou hast heard the cause: neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	9	Strive not in a matter that concerneth thee not; and sit not in judgment with sinners.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	10	My son, meddle not with many matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	11	There is one that laboureth, and taketh pains, and maketh haste, and is so much the more behind.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	12	Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate,
Sirach	Sir	71	11	13	And lifted up his head from misery; so that many that saw from him is peace over all the
Sirach	Sir	71	11	14	Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	15	Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	16	Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	17	The gift of the Lord remaineth with the ungodly, and his favour bringeth prosperity for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	18	There is that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, and this his the portion of his reward:
Sirach	Sir	71	11	19	Whereas he saith, I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods; and yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	20	Be stedfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and wax old in thy work.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	21	Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour: for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	22	The blessing of the Lord is in the reward of the godly, and suddenly he maketh his blessing flourish.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	23	Say not, What profit is there of my service? and what good things shall I have hereafter?
Sirach	Sir	71	11	24	Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many things, and what evil shall I have hereafter?
Sirach	Sir	71	11	25	In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction: and in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	26	For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	27	The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure: and in his end his deeds shall be discovered.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	28	Judge none blessed before his death: for a man shall be known in his children.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	29	Bring not every man into thine house: for the deceitful man hath many trains.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	30	Like as a partridge taken [and kept] in a cage, so is the heart of the proud; and like as a spy, watcheth he for thy fall:
Sirach	Sir	71	11	31	For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil, and in things worthy praise will lay blame upon thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	32	Of a spark of fire a heap of coals is kindled: and a sinful man layeth wait for blood.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	33	Take heed of a mischievous man, for he worketh wickedness; lest he bring upon thee a perpetual blot.
Sirach	Sir	71	11	34	Receive a stranger into thine house, and he will disturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	1	When thou wilt do good know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	2	Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	3	There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	4	Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	5	Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	6	For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	7	Give unto the good, and help not the sinner.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	8	A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	9	In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	10	Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	11	Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	12	Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	13	Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts?
Sirach	Sir	71	12	14	So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity?
Sirach	Sir	71	12	15	For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	16	An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	17	If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	12	18	He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	1	He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	2	Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and have no fellowship with one that is mightier and richer than thyself: for how agree the kettle and the earthen pot together? for if the one be smitten against the other, it shall be broken.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	3	The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he threateneth withal: the poor is wronged, and he must intreat also.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	4	If thou be for his profit, he will use thee: but if thou have nothing, he will forsake thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	5	If thou have any thing, he will live with thee: yea, he will make thee bare, and will not be sorry for it.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	6	If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, and smile upon thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and say, What wantest thou?
Sirach	Sir	71	13	7	And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn thee dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn afterward, when he seeth thee, he will forsake thee, and shake his head at thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	8	Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy jollity.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	9	If thou be invited of a mighty man, withdraw thyself, and so much the more will he invite thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	10	Press thou not upon him, lest thou be put back; stand not far off, lest thou be forgotten.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	11	Affect not to be made equal unto him in talk, and believe not his many words: for with much communication will he tempt thee, and smiling upon thee will get out thy secrets:
Sirach	Sir	71	13	12	But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	13	Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleep.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	14	Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	15	Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	16	All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	17	What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	18	What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor?
Sirach	Sir	71	13	19	As the wild ass is the lion's prey in the wilderness: so the rich eat up the poor.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	20	As the proud hate humility: so doth the rich abhor the poor.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	21	A rich man beginning to fall is held up of his friends: but a poor man being down is thrust away by his friends.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	22	When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers: he speaketh things not to be spoken, and yet men justify him: the poor man slipped, and yet they rebuked him too; he spake wisely, and could have no place.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	23	When a rich man speaketh, every man holdeth his tongue, and, look, what he saith, they extol it to the clouds: but if the poor man speak, they say, What fellow is this? and if he stumble, they will help to overthrow him.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	24	Riches are good unto him that hath no sin, and poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	25	The heart of a man changeth his countenance, whether it be for good or evil: and a merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.
Sirach	Sir	71	13	26	A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is in prosperity; and the finding out of parables is a wearisome labour of the mind.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	1	Blessed is the man that hath not slipped with his mouth, and is not pricked with the multitude of sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	2	Blessed is he whose conscience hath not condemned him, and who is not fallen from his hope in the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	3	Riches are not comely for a niggard: and what should an envious man do with money?
Sirach	Sir	71	14	4	He that gathereth by defrauding his own soul gathereth for others, that shall spend his goods riotously.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	5	He that is evil to himself, to whom will he be good? he shall not take pleasure in his goods.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	6	There is none worse than he that envieth himself; and this is a recompence of his wickedness.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	7	And if he doeth good, he doeth it unwillingly; and at the last he will declare his wickedness.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	8	The envious man hath a wicked eye; he turneth away his face, and despiseth men.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	9	A covetous man's eye is not satisfied with his portion; and the iniquity of the wicked drieth up his soul.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	10	A wicked eye envieth [his] bread, and he is a niggard at his table.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	11	My son, according to thy ability do good to thyself, and give the Lord his due offering.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	12	Remember that death will not be long in coming, and that the covenant of the grave is not shewed unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	13	Do good unto thy friend before thou die, and according to thy ability stretch out thy hand and give to him.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	14	Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	15	Shalt thou not leave thy travails unto another? and thy labours to be divided by lot?
Sirach	Sir	71	14	16	Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	17	All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the covenant from the beginning is, Thou shalt die the death.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	18	As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	19	Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof shall go withal.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	20	Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom, and that reasoneth of holy things by his understanding. ing.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	21	He that considereth her ways in his heart shall also have understanding in her secrets.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	22	Go after her as one that traceth, and lie in wait in her ways.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	23	He that prieth in at her windows shall also hearken at her doors.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	24	He that doth lodge near her house shall also fasten a pin in her walls.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	25	He shall pitch his tent nigh unto her, and shall lodge in a lodging where good things are.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	26	He shall set his children under her shelter, and shall lodge under her branches.
Sirach	Sir	71	14	27	By her he shall be covered from heat, and in her glory shall he dwell.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	1	He that feareth the Lord will do good, and he that hath the knowledge of the law shall obtain her.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	2	And as a mother shall she meet him, and receive him as a wife married of a virgin.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	3	With the bread of understanding shall she feed him, and give him the water of wisdom to drink.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	4	He shall be stayed upon her, and shall not be moved; and shall rely upon her, and shall not be confounded.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	5	She shall exalt him above his neighbours, and in the midst of the congregation shall she open his mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	6	He shall find joy and a crown of gladness, and she shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	7	But foolish men shall not attain unto her, and sinners shall not see her.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	8	For she is far from pride, and men that are liars cannot remember her.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	9	Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner, for it was not sent him of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	10	For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	11	Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	12	Say not thou, He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of the sinful man.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	13	The Lord hateth all abomination; and they that fear God love it not.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	14	He himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his counsel;
Sirach	Sir	71	15	15	If thou wilt, to keep the commandments, and to perform acceptable faithfulness.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	16	He hath set fire and water before thee: stretch forth thy hand unto whether thou wilt.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	17	Before man is life and death; and whether him liketh shall be given him.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	18	For the wisdom of the Lord is great, and he is mighty in power, and beholdeth all things:
Sirach	Sir	71	15	19	And his eyes are upon them that fear him, and he knoweth every work of man.
Sirach	Sir	71	15	20	He hath commanded no man to do wickedly, neither hath he given any man licence to sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	1	Desire not a multitude of unprofitable children, neither delight in ungodly sons.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	2	Though they multiply, rejoice not in them, except the fear of the Lord be with them.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	3	Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	4	For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	5	Many such things have I seen with mine eyes, and mine ear hath heard greater things than these.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	6	In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	7	He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	8	Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	9	He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away in their sins:
Sirach	Sir	71	16	10	Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	11	And if there be one stiffnecked among the people, it is marvel if he escape unpunished: for mercy and wrath are with him; he is mighty to forgive, and to pour out displeasure.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	12	As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: he judgeth a man according to his works
Sirach	Sir	71	16	13	The sinner shall not escape with his spoils: and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrate.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	14	Make way for every work of mercy: for every man shall find according to his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	15	The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know him, that his powerful works might be known to the world.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	16	His mercy is manifest to every creature; and he hath separated his light from the darkness with an adamant.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	17	Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people: for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?
Sirach	Sir	71	16	18	Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when he shall visit.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	19	The mountains also and foundations of the earth be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	20	No heart can think upon these things worthily: and who is able to conceive his ways?
Sirach	Sir	71	16	21	It is a tempest which no man can see: for the most part of his works are hid.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	22	Who can declare the works of his justice? or who can endure them? for his covenant is afar off, and the trial of all things is in the end.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	23	He that wanteth understanding will think upon vain things: and a foolish man erring imagineth follies.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	24	by son, hearken unto me, and learn knowledge, and mark my words with thy heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	25	I will shew forth doctrine in weight, and declare his knowledge exactly.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	26	The works of the Lord are done in judgment from the beginning: and from the time he made them he disposed the parts thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	27	He garnished his works for ever, and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	28	None of them hindereth another, and they shall never disobey his word.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	29	After this the Lord looked upon the earth, and filled it with his blessings.
Sirach	Sir	71	16	30	With all manner of living things hath he covered the face thereof; and they shall return into it again.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	1	The Lord created man of the earth, and turned him into it again.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	2	He gave them few days, and a short time, and power also over the things therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	3	He endued them with strength by themselves, and made them according to his image,
Sirach	Sir	71	17	4	And put the fear of man upon all flesh, and gave him dominion over beasts and fowls.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	5	They received the use of the five operations of the Lord, and in the sixth place he imparted them understanding, and in the seventh speech, an interpreter of the cogitations thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	6	Counsel, and a tongue, and eyes, ears, and a heart, gave he them to understand.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	7	Withal he filled them with the knowledge of understanding, and shewed them good and evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	8	He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	9	He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for ever, that they might declare his works with understanding.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	10	And the elect shall praise his holy name.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	11	Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	12	He made an everlasting covenant with them, and shewed them his judgments.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	13	Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	14	And he said unto them, Beware of all unrighteousness; and he gave every man commandment concerning his neighbour.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	15	Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	16	Every man from his youth is given to evil; neither could they make to themselves fleshy hearts for stony.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	17	For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion:
Sirach	Sir	71	17	18	Whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	19	Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	20	None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord
Sirach	Sir	71	17	21	But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	22	The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons and daughters.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	23	Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	24	But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	25	Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	26	Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	27	Who shall praise the most High in the grave, instead of them which live and give thanks?
Sirach	Sir	71	17	28	Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	29	How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!
Sirach	Sir	71	17	30	For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	31	What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	17	32	He vieweth the power of the height of heaven; and all men are but earth and ashes.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	1	He that liveth for ever Hath created all things in general.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	2	The Lord only is righteous, and there is none other but he,
Sirach	Sir	71	18	3	Who governeth the world with the palm of his hand, and all things obey his will: for he is the King of all, by his power dividing holy things among them from profane.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	4	To whom hath he given power to declare his works? and who shall find out his noble acts?
Sirach	Sir	71	18	5	Who shall number the strength of his majesty? and who shall also tell out his mercies?
Sirach	Sir	71	18	6	As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them, neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	7	When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	8	What is man, and whereto serveth he? what is his good, and what is his evil?
Sirach	Sir	71	18	9	The number of a man's days at the most are an hundred years.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	10	As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone in comparison of the sand; so are a thousand years to the days of eternity.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	11	Therefore is God patient with them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	12	He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore he multiplied his compassion.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	13	The mercy of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	14	He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, and that diligently seek after his judgments.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	15	My son, blemish not thy good deeds, neither use uncomfortable words when thou givest any thing.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	16	Shall not the dew asswage the heat? so is a word better than a gift.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	17	Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a gracious man.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	18	A fool will upbraid churlishly, and a gift of the envious consumeth the eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	19	Learn before thou speak, and use physick or ever thou be sick.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	20	Before judgment examine thyself, and in the day of visitation thou shalt find mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	21	Humble thyself before thou be sick, and in the time of sins shew repentance.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	22	Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow in due time, and defer not until death to be justified.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	23	Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as one that tempteth the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	24	Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	25	When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	26	From the morning until the evening the time is changed, and all things are soon done before the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	27	A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the day of sinning he will beware of offence: but a fool will not observe time.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	28	Every man of understanding knoweth wisdom, and will give praise unto him that found her.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	29	They that were of understanding in sayings became also wise themselves, and poured forth exquisite parables.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	30	Go not after thy lusts, but refrain thyself from thine appetites.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	31	If thou givest thy soul the desires that please her, she will make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies that malign thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	32	Take not pleasure in much good cheer, neither be tied to the expence thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	18	33	Be not made a beggar by banqueting upon borrowing, when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt lie in wait for thine own life, and be talked on.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	1	A labouring man that A is given to drunkenness shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things shall fall by little and little.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	2	Wine and women will make men of understanding to fall away: and he that cleaveth to harlots will become impudent.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	3	Moths and worms shall have him to heritage, and a bold man shall be taken away.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	4	He that is hasty to give credit is lightminded; and he that sinneth shall offend against his own soul.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	5	Whoso taketh pleasure in wickedness shall be condemned: but he that resisteth pleasures crowneth his life.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	6	He that can rule his tongue shall live without strife; and he that hateth babbling shall have less evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	7	Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	8	Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other men's lives; and if thou canst without offence, reveal them not.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	9	For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	10	If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	11	A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	12	As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word within a fool's belly.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	13	Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it: and if he have done it, that he do it no more.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	14	Admonish thy friend, it may be he hath not said it: and if he have, that he speak it not again.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	15	Admonish a friend: for many times it is a slander, and believe not every tale.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	16	There is one that slippeth in his speech, but not from his heart; and who is he that hath not offended with his tongue?
Sirach	Sir	71	19	17	Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him; and not being angry, give place to the law of the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	18	The fear of the Lord is the first step to be accepted [of him,] and wisdom obtaineth his love.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	19	The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord is the doctrine of life: and they that do things that please him shall receive the fruit of the tree of immortality.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	20	The fear of the Lord is all wisdom; and in all wisdom is the performance of the law, and the knowledge of his omnipotency.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	21	If a servant say to his master, I will not do as it pleaseth thee; though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nourisheth him.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	22	The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	23	There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	24	He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	25	There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	26	There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit,
Sirach	Sir	71	19	27	Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	28	And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	29	A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him.
Sirach	Sir	71	19	30	A man's attire, and excessive laughter, and gait, shew what he is.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	1	There is a reproof that is not comely: again, some man holdeth his tongue, and he is wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	2	It is much better to reprove, than to be angry secretly: and he that confesseth his fault shall be preserved from hurt.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	3	How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance!  for so shalt thou escape wilful sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	4	As is the lust of an eunuch to deflower a virgin; so is he that executeth judgment with violence.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	5	There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	6	Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	7	A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	8	He that useth many words shall be abhorred; and he that taketh to himself authority therein shall be hated.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	9	There is a sinner that hath good success in evil things; and there is a gain that turneth to loss.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	10	There is a gift that shall not profit thee; and there is a gift whose recompence is double.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	11	There is an abasement because of glory; and there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	12	There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	13	A wise man by his words maketh him beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	14	The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the envious for his necessity: for he looketh to receive many things for one.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	15	He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to be hated of God and man.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	16	The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	17	How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have; and it is all one unto him as if he had it not.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	18	To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	19	An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	20	A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth; for he will not speak it in due season.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	21	There is that is hindered from sinning through want: and when he taketh rest, he shall not be troubled.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	22	There is that destroyeth his own soul through bashfulness, and by accepting of persons overthroweth himself.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	23	There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	24	A lie is a foul blot in a man, yet it is continually in the mouth of the untaught.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	25	A thief is better than a man that is accustomed to lie: but they both shall have destruction to heritage.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	26	The disposition of a liar is dishonourable, and his shame is ever with him.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	27	A wise man shall promote himself to honour with his words: and he that hath understanding will please great men.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	28	He that tilleth his land shall increase his heap: and he that pleaseth great men shall get pardon for iniquity.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	29	Presents and gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and stop up his mouth that he cannot reprove.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	30	Wisdom that is hid, and treasure that is hoarded up, what profit is in them both?
Sirach	Sir	71	20	31	Better is he that hideth his folly than a man that hideth his wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	20	32	Necessary patience in seeking ing the Lord is better than he that leadeth his life without a guide.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	1	My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more, but ask pardon for thy former sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	2	Flee from sin as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest too near it, it will bite thee: the teeth thereof are as the teeth of a lion, slaying the souls of men.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	3	All iniquity is as a two edged sword, the wounds whereof cannot be healed.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	4	To terrify and do wrong will waste riches: thus the house of proud men shall be made desolate.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	5	A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the ears of God, and his judgment cometh speedily.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	6	He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of sinners: but he that feareth the Lord will repent from his heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	7	An eloquent man is known far and near; but a man of understanding knoweth when he slippeth.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	8	He that buildeth his house with other men's money is like one that gathereth himself stones for the tomb of his burial.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	9	The congregation of the wicked is like tow wrapped together: and the end of them is a flame of fire to destroy them.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	10	The way of sinners is made plain with stones, but at the end thereof is the pit of hell.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	11	He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	12	He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	13	The knowledge of a wise man shall abound like a flood: and his counsel is like a pure fountain of life.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	14	The inner parts of a fool are like a broken vessel, and he will hold no knowledge as long as he liveth.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	15	If a skilful man hear a wise word, he will commend it, and add unto it: but as soon as one of no understanding heareth it, it displeaseth him, and he casteth it behind his back.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	16	The talking of a fool is like a burden in the way: but grace shall be found in the lips of the wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	17	They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	18	As is a house that is destroyed, so is wisdom to a fool: and the knowledge of the unwise is as talk without sense.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	19	Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, and like manacles on the right hand.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	20	A fool lifteth up his voice with laughter; but a wise man doth scarce smile a little.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	21	Learning is unto a wise man as an ornament of gold, and like a bracelet upon his right arm.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	22	A foolish man's foot is soon in his [neighbour's] house: but a man of experience is ashamed of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	23	A fool will peep in at the door into the house: but he that is well nurtured will stand without.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	24	It is the rudeness of a man to hearken at the door: but a wise man will be grieved with the disgrace.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	25	The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	26	The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	27	When the ungodly curseth Satan, he curseth his own soul.
Sirach	Sir	71	21	28	A whisperer defileth his own soul, and is hated wheresoever he dwelleth.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	1	A slothful man is compared to a filthy stone, and every one will hiss him out to his disgrace.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	2	A slothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill: every man that takes it up will shake his hand.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	3	An evilnurtured man is the dishonour of his father that begat him: and a [foolish] daughter is born to his loss.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	4	A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	5	She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	6	A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	7	Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	8	He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?
Sirach	Sir	71	22	9	If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	10	But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	11	Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: and weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: but the life of the fool is worse than death.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	12	Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	13	Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that hath no understanding: beware of him, lest thou have trouble, and thou shalt never be defiled with his fooleries: depart from him, and thou shalt find rest, and never be disquieted with madness.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	14	What is heavier than lead? and what is the name thereof, but a fool?
Sirach	Sir	71	22	15	Sand, and salt, and a mass of iron, is easier to bear, than a man without understanding.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	16	As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	17	A heart settled upon a thought of understanding is as a fair plaistering on the wall of a gallery.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	18	Pales set on an high place will never stand against the wind: so a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool cannot stand against any fear.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	19	He that pricketh the eye will make tears to fall: and he that pricketh the heart maketh it to shew her knowledge.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	20	Whoso casteth a stone at the birds frayeth them away: and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friendship.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	21	Though thou drewest a sword at thy friend, yet despair not: for there may be a returning [to favour.]
Sirach	Sir	71	22	22	If thou hast opened thy mouth against thy friend, fear not; for there may be a reconciliation: except for upbraiding, or pride, or disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for for these things every friend will depart.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	23	Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	24	As the vapour and smoke of a furnace goeth before the fire; so reviling before blood.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	25	I will not be ashamed to defend a friend; neither will I hide myself from him.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	26	And if any evil happen unto me by him, every one that heareth it will beware of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	22	27	Who shall set a watch before my mouth, and a seal of wisdom upon my lips, that I fall not suddenly by them, and that my tongue destroy me not?
Sirach	Sir	71	23	1	O Lord, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	2	Who will set scourges over my thoughts, and the discipline of wisdom over mine heart? that they spare me not for mine ignorances, and it pass not by my sins:
Sirach	Sir	71	23	3	Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	4	O Lord, Father and God of my life, give me not a proud look, but turn away from thy servants always a haughty mind.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	5	Turn away from me vain hopes and concupiscence, and thou shalt hold him up that is desirous always to serve thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	6	Let not the greediness of the belly nor lust of the flesh take hold of me; and give not over me thy servant into an impudent mind.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	7	Hear, O ye children, the discipline of the mouth: he that keepeth it shall never be taken in his lips.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	8	The sinner shall be left in his foolishness: both the evil speaker and the proud shall fall thereby.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	9	Accustom not thy mouth to swearing; neither use thyself to the naming of the Holy One.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	10	For as a servant that is continually beaten shall not be without a blue mark: so he that sweareth and nameth God continually shall not be faultless.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	11	A man that useth much swearing shall be filled with iniquity, and the plague shall never depart from his house: if he shall offend, his sin shall be upon him: and if he acknowledge not his sin, he maketh a double offence: and if he swear in vain, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of calamities.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	12	There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	13	Use not thy mouth to intemperate swearing, for therein is the word of sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	14	Remember thy father and thy mother, when thou sittest among great men. Be not forgetful before them, and so thou by thy custom become a fool, and wish that thou hadst not been born, and curse they day of thy nativity.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	15	The man that is accustomed to opprobrious words will never be reformed all the days of his life.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	16	Two sorts of men multiply sin, and the third will bring wrath: a hot mind is as a burning fire, it will never be quenched till it be consumed: a fornicator in the body of his flesh will never cease till he hath kindled a fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	17	All bread is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	18	A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins:
Sirach	Sir	71	23	19	Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	20	He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	21	This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be taken.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	22	Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	23	For first, she hath disobeyed the law of the most High; and secondly, she hath trespassed against her own husband; and thirdly, she hath played the whore in adultery, and brought children by another man.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	24	She shall be brought out into the congregation, and inquisition shall be made of her children.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	25	Her children shall not take root, and her branches shall bring forth no fruit.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	26	She shall leave her memory to be cursed, and her reproach shall not be blotted out.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	27	And they that remain shall know that there is nothing better than the fear of the Lord, and that there is nothing sweeter than to take heed unto the commandments of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	23	28	It is great glory to follow the Lord, and to be received of him is long life.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	1	Wisdom shall praise herself, and shall glory in the midst of her people.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	2	In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth, and triumph before his power.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	3	I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	4	I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	5	I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked in the bottom of the deep.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	6	In the waves of the sea and in all the earth, and in every people and nation, I got a possession.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	7	With all these I sought rest: and in whose inheritance shall I abide?
Sirach	Sir	71	24	8	So the Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest, and said, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inheritance in Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	9	He created me from the beginning before the world, and I shall never fail.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	10	In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and so was I established in Sion.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	11	Likewise in the beloved city he gave me rest, and in Jerusalem was my power.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	12	And I took root in an honourable people, even in the portion of the Lord's inheritance.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	13	I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cypress tree upon the mountains of Hermon.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	14	I was exalted like a palm tree in En-gaddi, and as a rose plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleasant field, and grew up as a plane tree by the water.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	15	I gave a sweet smell like cinnamon and aspalathus, and I yielded a pleasant odour like the best myrrh, as galbanum, and onyx, and sweet storax, and as the fume of frankincense in the tabernacle.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	16	As the turpentine tree I stretched out my branches, and my branches are the branches of honour and grace.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	17	As the vine brought I forth pleasant savour, and my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	18	I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowledge, and holy hope: I therefore, being eternal, am given to all my children which are named of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	19	Come unto me, all ye that be desirous of me, and fill yourselves with my fruits.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	20	For my memorial is sweeter than honey, and mine inheritance than the honeycomb.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	21	They that eat me shall yet be hungry, and they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	22	He that obeyeth me shall never be confounded, and they that work by me shall not do amiss.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	23	All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	24	Faint not to be strong in the Lord; that he may confirm you, cleave unto him: for the Lord Almighty is God alone, and beside him there is no other Saviour.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	25	He filleth all things with his wisdom, as Phison and as Tigris in the time of the new fruits.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	26	He maketh the understanding to abound like Euphrates, and as Jordan in the time of the harvest.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	27	He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the light, and as Geon in the time of vintage.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	28	The first man knew her not perfectly: no more shall the last find her out.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	29	For her thoughts are more than the sea, and her counsels profounder than the great deep.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	30	I also came out as a brook from a river, and as a conduit into a garden.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	31	I said, I will water my best garden, and will water abundantly my garden bed: and, lo, my brook became a river, and my river became a sea.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	32	I will yet make doctrine to shine as the morning, and will send forth her light afar off.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	33	I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, and leave it to all ages for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	24	34	Behold that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all them that seek wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	1	In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	2	Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	3	If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou find any thing in thine age?
Sirach	Sir	71	25	4	O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, and for ancient men to know counsel!
Sirach	Sir	71	25	5	O how comely is the wisdom of old men, and understanding and counsel to men of honour.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	6	Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	7	There be nine things which I have judged in mine heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; and he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy:
Sirach	Sir	71	25	8	Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of understanding, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served a man more unworthy than himself:
Sirach	Sir	71	25	9	Well is him that hath found prudence, and he that speaketh in the ears of them that will hear:
Sirach	Sir	71	25	10	O how great is he that findeth wisdom! yet is there none above him that feareth the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	11	But the love of the Lord passeth all things for illumination: he that holdeth it, whereto shall he be likened?
Sirach	Sir	71	25	12	The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love: and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	13	[Give me] any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman:
Sirach	Sir	71	25	14	And any affliction, but the affliction from them that hate me: and any revenge, but the revenge of enemies.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	15	There is no head above the head of a serpent; and there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	16	I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon, than to keep house with a wicked woman.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	17	The wickedness of a woman changeth her face, and darkeneth her countenance like sackcloth.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	18	Her husband shall sit among his neighbours; and when he heareth it shall sigh bitterly.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	19	All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	20	As the climbing up a sandy way is to the feet of the aged, so is a wife full of words to a quiet man.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	21	Stumble not at the beauty of a woman, and desire her not for pleasure.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	22	A woman, if she maintain her husband, is full of anger, impudence, and much reproach.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	23	A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an heavy countenance and a wounded heart: a woman that will not comfort her husband in distress maketh weak hands and feeble knees.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	24	Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	25	Give the water no passage; neither a wicked woman liberty to gad abroad.
Sirach	Sir	71	25	26	If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	1	Blessed is the man that hath a virtuous wife, for the number of his days shall be double.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	2	A virtuous woman rejoiceth her husband, and he shall fulfil the years of his life in peace.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	3	A good wife is a good portion, which shall be given in the portion of them that fear the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	4	Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good heart toward the Lord, he shall at all times rejoice with a cheerful countenance.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	5	There be three things that mine heart feareth; and for the fourth I was sore afraid: the slander of a city, the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a false accusation: all these are worse than death.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	6	But a grief of heart and sorrow is a woman that is jealous over another woman, and a scourge of the tongue which communicateth with all.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	7	An evil wife is a yoke shaken to and fro: he that hath hold of her is as though he held a scorpion.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	8	A drunken woman and a gadder abroad causeth great anger, and she will not cover her own shame.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	9	The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	10	If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	11	Watch over an impudent eye: and marvel not if she trespass against thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	12	She will open her mouth, as a thirsty traveller when he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near her: by every hedge will she sit down, and open her quiver against every arrow.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	13	The grace of a wife delighteth her husband, and her discretion will fatten his bones.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	14	A silent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord; and there is nothing so much worth as a mind well instructed.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	15	A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	16	As the sun when it ariseth in the high heaven; so is the beauty of a good wife in the ordering of her house.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	17	As the clear light is upon the holy candlestick; so is the beauty of the face in ripe age.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	18	As the golden pillars are upon the sockets of silver; so are the fair feet with a constant heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	19	My son, keep the flower of thine age sound; and give not thy strength to strangers.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	20	When thou hast gotten a fruitful possession through all the field, sow it with thine own seed, trusting in the goodness of thy stock.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	21	So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	22	An harlot shall be accounted as spittle; but a married woman is a tower against death to her husband.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	23	A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man: but a godly woman is given to him that feareth the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	24	A dishonest woman contemneth shame: but an honest woman will reverence her husband.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	25	A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	26	A woman that honoureth her husband shall be judged wise of all; but she that dishonoureth him in her pride shall be counted ungodly of all.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	27	A loud crying woman and a scold shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	28	There be two things that grieve my heart; and the third maketh me angry: a man of war that suffereth poverty; and men of understanding that are not set by; and one that returneth from righteousness to sin; the Lord prepareth such an one for the sword.
Sirach	Sir	71	26	29	A merchant shall hardly keep himself from doing wrong; and an huckster shall not be freed from sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	1	Many have sinned for a small matter; and he that seeketh for abundance will turn his eyes away.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	2	As a nail sticketh fast between the joinings of the stones; so doth sin stick close between buying and selling.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	3	Unless a man hold himself diligently in the fear of the Lord, his house shall soon be overthrown.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	4	As when one sifteth with a sieve, the refuse remaineth; so the filth of man in his talk.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	5	The furnace proveth the potter's vessels; so the trial of man is in his reasoning.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	6	The fruit declareth if the tree have been dressed; so is the utterance of a conceit in the heart of man.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	7	Praise no man before thou hearest him speak; for this is the trial of men.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	8	If thou followest righteousness, thou shalt obtain her, and put her on, as a glorious long robe.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	9	The birds will resort unto their like; so will truth return unto them that practise in her.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	10	As the lion lieth in wait for the prey; so sin for them that work iniquity.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	11	The discourse of a godly man is always with wisdom; but a fool changeth as the moon.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	12	If thou be among the indiscreet, observe the time; but be continually among men of understanding.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	13	The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is the wantonness of sin.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	14	The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his ears.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	15	The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	16	Whoso discovereth secrets loseth his credit; and shall never find friend to his mind.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	17	Love thy friend, and be faithful unto him: but if thou betrayest his secrets, follow no more after him.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	18	For as a man hath destroyed his enemy; so hast thou lost the love of thy neighbor.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	19	As one that letteth a bird go out of his hand, so hast thou let thy neighbour go, and shalt not get him again
Sirach	Sir	71	27	20	Follow after him no more, for he is too far off; he is as a roe escaped out of the snare.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	21	As for a wound, it may be bound up; and after reviling there may be reconcilement: but he that betrayeth secrets is without hope.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	22	He that winketh with the eyes worketh evil: and he that knoweth him will depart from him.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	23	When thou art present, he will speak sweetly, and will admire thy words: but at the last he will writhe his mouth, and slander thy sayings.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	24	I have hated many things, but nothing like him; for the Lord will hate him.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	25	Whoso casteth a stone on high casteth it on his own head; and a deceitful stroke shall make wounds.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	26	Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	27	He that worketh mischief, it shall fall upon him, and he shall not know whence it cometh.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	28	Mockery and reproach are from the proud; but vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in wait for them.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	29	They that rejoice at the fall of the righteous shall be taken in the snare; and anguish shall consume them before they die.
Sirach	Sir	71	27	30	Malice and wrath, even these are abominations; and the sinful man shall have them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	1	He that revengeth shall find vengeance from the Lord, and he will surely keep his sins [in remembrance.]
Sirach	Sir	71	28	2	Forgive thy neighbour the hurt that he hath done unto thee, so shall thy sins also be forgiven when thou prayest.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	3	One man beareth hatred against another, and doth he seek pardon from the Lord?
Sirach	Sir	71	28	4	He sheweth no mercy to a man, which is like himself: and doth he ask forgiveness of his own sins?
Sirach	Sir	71	28	5	If he that is but flesh nourish hatred, who will intreat for pardon of his sins?
Sirach	Sir	71	28	6	Remember thy end, and let enmity cease; [remember] corruption and death, and abide in the commandments.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	7	Remember the commandments, and bear no malice to thy neighbour: [remember] the covenant of the Highest, and wink at ignorance.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	8	Abstain from strife, and thou shalt diminish thy sins: for a furious man will kindle strife,
Sirach	Sir	71	28	9	A sinful man disquieteth friends, and maketh debate among them that be at peace.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	10	As the matter of the fire is, so it burneth: and as a man's strength is, so is his wrath; and according to his riches his anger riseth; and the stronger they are which contend, the more they will be inflamed.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	11	An hasty contention kindleth a fire: and an hasty fighting sheddeth blood.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	12	If thou blow the spark, it shall burn: if thou spit upon it, it shall be quenched: and both these come out of thy mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	13	Curse the whisperer and doubletongued: for such have destroyed many that were at peace.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	14	A backbiting tongue hath disquieted many, and driven them from nation to nation: strong cities hath it pulled down, and overthrown the houses of great men.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	15	A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	16	Whoso hearkeneth unto it shall never find rest, and never dwell quietly.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	17	The stroke of the whip maketh marks in the flesh: but the stroke of the tongue breaketh the bones.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	18	Many have fallen by the edge of the sword: but not so many as have fallen by the tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	19	Well is he that is defended through the venom thereof; who hath not drawn the yoke thereof, nor hath been bound in her bands.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	20	For the yoke thereof is a yoke of iron, and the bands thereof are bands of brass.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	21	The death thereof is an evil death, the grave were better than it.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	22	It shall not have rule over them that fear God, neither shall they be burned with the flame thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	23	Such as forsake the Lord shall fall into it; and it shall burn in them, and not be quenched; it shall be sent upon them as a lion, and devour them as a leopard.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	24	Look that thou hedge thy possession about with thorns, and bind up thy silver and gold,
Sirach	Sir	71	28	25	And weigh thy words in a balance, and make a door and bar for thy mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	28	26	Beware thou slide not by it, lest thou fall before him that lieth in wait.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	1	He that is merciful will lend unto his neighbour; and he that strengtheneth his hand keepeth the commandments.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	2	Lend to thy neighbour in time of his need, and pay thou thy neighbour again in due season.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	3	Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and thou shalt always find the thing that is necessary for thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	4	Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	5	Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand; and for his neighbour's money he will speak submissly: but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief, and complain of the time.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	6	If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it: if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause: he payeth him with cursings and railings; and for honour he will pay him disgrace.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	7	Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	8	Yet have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to shew him mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	9	Help the poor for the commandment's sake, and turn him not away because of his poverty.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	10	Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend, and let it not rust under a stone to be lost.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	11	Lay up thy treasure according to the commandments of the most High, and it shall bring thee more profit than gold.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	12	Shut up alms in thy storehouses: and it shall deliver thee from all affliction.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	13	It shall fight for thee against thine enemies better than a mighty shield and strong spear.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	14	An honest man is surety for his neighbour: but he that is impudent will forsake him.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	15	Forget not the friendship of thy surety, for he hath given his life for thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	16	A sinner will overthrow the good estate of his surety:
Sirach	Sir	71	29	17	And he that is of an unthankful mind will leave him [in danger] that delivered him.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	18	Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	19	A wicked man transgressing the commandments of the Lord shall fall into suretiship: and he that undertaketh and followeth other men's business for gain shall fall into suits.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	20	Help thy neighbour according to thy power, and beware that thou thyself fall not into the same.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	21	The chief thing for life is water, and bread, and clothing, and an house to cover shame.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	22	Better is the life of a poor man in a mean cottage, than delicate fare in another man's house.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	23	Be it little or much, hold thee contented, that thou hear not the reproach of thy house.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	24	For it is a miserable life to go from house to house: for where thou art a stranger, thou darest not open thy mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	25	Thou shalt entertain, and feast, and have no thanks: moreover thou shalt hear bitter words:
Sirach	Sir	71	29	26	Come, thou stranger, and furnish a table, and feed me of that thou hast ready.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	27	Give place, thou stranger, to an honourable man; my brother cometh to be lodged, and I have need of mine house.
Sirach	Sir	71	29	28	These things are grievous to a man of understanding; the upbraiding of houseroom, and reproaching of the lender.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	1	He that loveth his son causeth him oft to feel the rod, that he may have joy of him in the end.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	2	He that chastiseth his son shall have joy in him, and shall rejoice of him among his acquaintance.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	3	He that teacheth his son grieveth the enemy: and before his friends he shall rejoice of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	4	Though his father die, yet he is as though he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	5	While he lived, he saw and rejoiced in him: and when he died, he was not sorrowful.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	6	He left behind him an avenger against his enemies, and one that shall requite kindness to his friends.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	7	He that maketh too much of his son shall bind up his wounds; and his bowels will be troubled at every cry.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	8	An horse not broken becometh headstrong: and a child left to himself will be wilful.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	9	Cocker thy child, and he shall make thee afraid: play with him, and he will bring thee to heaviness.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	10	Laugh not with him, lest thou have sorrow with him, and lest thou gnash thy teeth in the end.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	11	Give him no liberty in his youth, and wink not at his follies.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	12	Bow down his neck while he is young, and beat him on the sides while he is a child, lest he wax stubborn, and be disobedient unto thee, and so bring sorrow to thine heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	13	Chastise thy son, and hold him to labour, lest his lewd behaviour be an offence unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	14	Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	15	Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	16	There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	17	Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	18	Delicates poured upon a mouth shut up are as messes of meat set upon a grave.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	19	What good doeth the offering unto an idol? for neither can it eat nor smell: so is he that is persecuted of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	20	He seeth with his eyes and groaneth, as an eunuch that embraceth a virgin and sigheth.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	21	Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	22	The gladness of the heart is the life of man, and the joyfulness of a man prolongeth his days.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	23	Love thine own soul, and comfort thy heart, remove sorrow far from thee: for sorrow hath killed many, and there is no profit therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	24	Envy and wrath shorten the life, and carefulness bringeth age before the time.
Sirach	Sir	71	30	25	A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	1	Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the care thereof driveth away sleep.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	2	Watching care will not let a man slumber, as a sore disease breaketh sleep,
Sirach	Sir	71	31	3	The rich hath great labour in gathering riches together; and when he resteth, he is filled with his delicates.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	4	The poor laboureth in his poor estate; and when he leaveth off, he is still needy.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	5	He that loveth gold shall not be justified, and he that followeth corruption shall have enough thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	6	Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	7	It is a stumblingblock unto them that sacrifice unto it, and every fool shall be taken therewith.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	8	Blessed is the rich that is found without blemish, and hath not gone after gold.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	9	Who is he? and we will call him blessed: for wonderful things hath he done among his people.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	10	Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect? then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not offended? or done evil, and hath not done it?
Sirach	Sir	71	31	11	His goods shall be established, and the congregation shall declare his alms.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	12	If thou sit at a bountiful table, be not greedy upon it, and say not, There is much meat on it.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	13	Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing: and what is created more wicked than an eye? therefore it weepeth upon every occasion.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	14	Stretch not thine hand whithersoever it looketh, and thrust it not with him into the dish.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	15	Judge not thy neighbour by thyself: and be discreet in every point.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	16	Eat as it becometh a man, those things which are set before thee; and devour note, lest thou be hated.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	17	Leave off first for manners' sake; and be not unsatiable, lest thou offend.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	18	When thou sittest among many, reach not thine hand out first of all.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	19	A very little is sufficient for a man well nurtured, and he fetcheth not his wind short upon his bed.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	20	Sound sleep cometh of moderate eating: he riseth early, and his wits are with him: but the pain of watching, and choler, and pangs of the belly, are with an unsatiable man.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	21	And if thou hast been forced to eat, arise, go forth, vomit, and thou shalt have rest.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	22	My son, hear me, and despise me not, and at the last thou shalt find as I told thee: in all thy works be quick, so shall there no sickness come unto thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	23	Whoso is liberal of his meat, men shall speak well of him; and the report of his good housekeeping will be believed.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	24	But against him that is a niggard of his meat the whole city shall murmur; and the testimonies of his niggardness shall not be doubted of.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	25	Shew not thy valiantness in wine; for wine hath destroyed many.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	26	The furnace proveth the edge by dipping: so doth wine the hearts of the proud by drunkeness.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	27	Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk moderately: what life is then to a man that is without wine? for it was made to make men glad.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	28	Wine measurably drunk and in season bringeth gladness of the heart, and cheerfulness of the mind:
Sirach	Sir	71	31	29	But wine drunken with excess maketh bitterness of the mind, with brawling and quarrelling.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	30	Drunkenness increaseth the rage of a fool till he offend: it diminisheth strength, and maketh wounds.
Sirach	Sir	71	31	31	Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and despise him not in his mirth: give him no despiteful words, and press not upon him with urging him [to drink.]
Sirach	Sir	71	32	1	If thou be made the master [of a feast,] lift not thyself up, but be among them as one of the rest; take diligent care for them, and so sit down.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	2	And when thou hast done all thy office, take thy place, that thou mayest be merry with them, and receive a crown for thy well ordering of the feast.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	3	Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, but with sound judgment; and hinder not musick.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	4	Pour not out words where there is a musician, and shew not forth wisdom out of time.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	5	A concert of musick in a banquet of wine is as a signet of carbuncle set in gold.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	6	As a signet of an emerald set in a work of gold, so is the melody of musick with pleasant wine.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	7	Speak, young man, if there be need of thee: and yet scarcely when thou art twice asked.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	8	Let thy speech be short, comprehending much in few words; be as one that knoweth and yet holdeth his tongue.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	9	If thou be among great men, make not thyself equal with them; and when ancient men are in place, use not many words.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	10	Before the thunder goeth lightning; and before a shamefaced man shall go favour.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	11	Rise up betimes, and be not the last; but get thee home without delay.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	12	There take thy pastime, and do what thou wilt: but sin not by proud speech.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	13	And for these things bless him that made thee, and hath replenished thee with his good things.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	14	Whoso feareth the Lord will receive his discipline; and they that seek him early shall find favour.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	15	He that seeketh the law shall be filled therewith: but the hypocrite will be offended thereat.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	16	They that fear the Lord shall find judgment, and shall kindle justice as a light.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	17	A sinful man will not be reproved, but findeth an excuse according to his will.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	18	A man of counsel will be considerate; but a strange and proud man is not daunted with fear, even when of himself he hath done without counsel.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	19	Do nothing without advice; and when thou hast once done, repent not.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	20	Go not in a way wherein thou mayest fall, and stumble not among the stones.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	21	Be not confident in a plain way.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	22	And beware of thine own children.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	23	In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.
Sirach	Sir	71	32	24	He that believeth in the Lord taketh heed to the commandment; and he that trusteth in him shall fare never the worse.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	1	There shall no evil happen unto him that feareth the Lord; but in temptation even again he will deliver him.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	2	A wise man hateth not the law; but he that is an hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	3	A man of understanding trusteth in the law; and the law is faithful unto him, as an oracle.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	4	Prepare what to say, and so thou shalt be heard: and bind up instruction, and then make answer.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	5	The heart of the foolish is like a cartwheel; and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	6	A stallion horse is as a mocking friend, he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	7	Why doth one day excel another, when as all the light of every day in the year is of the sun?
Sirach	Sir	71	33	8	By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished: and he altered seasons and feasts.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	9	Some of them hath he made high days, and hallowed them, and some of them hath he made ordinary days.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	10	And all men are from the ground, and Adam was created of earth:
Sirach	Sir	71	33	11	In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	12	Some of them hath he blessed and exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	13	As the clay is in the potter's hand, to fashion it at his pleasure: so man is in the hand of him that made him, to render to them as liketh him best.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	14	Good is set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	15	So look upon all the works of the most High; and there are two and two, one against another.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	16	I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and tred my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	17	Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	18	Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	19	Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and friend, power over thee while thou livest, and give not thy goods to another: lest it repent thee, and thou intreat for the same again.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	20	As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, give not thyself over to any.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	21	For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	22	In all thy works keep to thyself the preeminence; leave not a stain in thine honour.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	23	At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	24	Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant. .
Sirach	Sir	71	33	25	If thou set thy servant to labour, thou shalt find rest: but if thou let him go idle, he shall seek liberty.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	26	A yoke and a collar do bow the neck: so are tortures and torments for an evil servant.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	27	Send him to labour, that he be not idle; for idleness teacheth much evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	28	Set him to work, as is fit for him: if he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	29	But be not excessive toward any; and without discretion do nothing.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	30	If thou have a servant, let him be unto thee as thyself, because thou hast bought him with a price.
Sirach	Sir	71	33	31	If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: for thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul: if thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to seek him?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	1	The hopes of a man void of understanding are vain and false: and dreams lift up fools.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	2	Whoso regardeth dreams is like him that catcheth at a shadow, and followeth after the wind.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	3	The vision of dreams is the resemblance of one thing to another, even as the likeness of a face to a face.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	4	Of an unclean thing what can be cleansed? and from that thing which is false what truth can come?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	5	Divinations, and soothsayings, and dreams, are vain: and the heart fancieth, as a woman's heart in travail.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	6	If they be not sent from the most High in thy visitation, set not thy heart upon them.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	7	For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	8	The law shall be found perfect without lies: and wisdom is perfection to a faithful mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	9	A man that hath travelled knoweth many things; and he that hath much experience will declare wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	10	He that hath no experience knoweth little: but he that hath travelled is full of prudence.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	11	When I travelled, I saw many things; and I understand more than I can express.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	12	I was ofttimes in danger of death: yet I was delivered because of these things.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	13	The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	14	Whoso feareth the Lord shall not fear nor be afraid; for he is his hope.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	15	Blessed is the soul of him that feareth the Lord: to whom doth he look? and who is his strength?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	16	For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	17	He raiseth up the soul, and lighteneth the eyes: he giveth health, life, and blessing.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	18	He that sacrificeth of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is ridiculous; and the gifts of unjust men are not accepted.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	19	The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	20	Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	21	The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	22	He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.
Sirach	Sir	71	34	23	When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, what profit have they then but labour?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	24	When one prayeth, and another curseth, whose voice will the Lord hear?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	25	He that washeth himself after the touching of a dead body, if he touch it again, what availeth his washing?
Sirach	Sir	71	34	26	So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, and goeth again, and doeth the same: who will hear his prayer? or what doth his humbling profit him?
Sirach	Sir	71	35	1	He that keepeth the law bringeth offerings enough: he that taketh heed to the commandment offereth a peace offering.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	2	He that requiteth a goodturn offereth fine flour; and he that giveth alms sacrificeth praise.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	3	To depart from wickedness is a thing pleasing to the Lord; and to forsake unrighteousness is a propitiation.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	4	Thou shalt not appear empty before the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	5	For all these things [are to be done] because of the commandment.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	6	The offering of the righteous maketh the altar fat, and the sweet savour thereof is before the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	7	The sacrifice of a just man is acceptable. and the memorial thereof shall never be forgotten.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	8	Give the Lord his honour with a good eye, and diminish not the firstfruits of thine hands.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	9	In all thy gifts shew a cheerful countenance, and dedicate thy tithes with gladness.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	10	Give unto the most High according as he hath enriched thee; and as thou hast gotten, give with a cheerful eye.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	11	For the Lord recompenseth, and will give thee seven times as much.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	12	Do not think to corrupt with gifts; for such he will not receive: and trust not to unrighteous sacrifices; for the Lord is judge, and with him is no respect of persons.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	13	He will not accept any person against a poor man, but will hear the prayer of the oppressed.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	14	He will not despise the supplication of the fatherless; nor the widow, when she poureth out her complaint.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	15	Do not the tears run down the widow's cheeks? and is not her cry against him that causeth them to fall?
Sirach	Sir	71	35	16	He that serveth the Lord shall be accepted with favour, and his prayer shall reach unto the clouds.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	17	The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	18	For the Lord will not be slack, neither will the Mighty be patient toward them, till he have smitten in sunder the loins of the unmerciful, and repayed vengeance to the heathen; till he have taken away the multitude of the proud, and broken the sceptre of the unrighteous;
Sirach	Sir	71	35	19	Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	35	20	Mercy is seasonable in the time of affliction, as clouds of rain in the time of drought.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	1	Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
Sirach	Sir	71	36	2	And send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	3	Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	4	As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	5	And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	6	Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	7	Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	8	Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	9	Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	10	Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	11	Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	12	O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	13	O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, the place of thy rest.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	14	Fill Sion with thine unspeakable oracles, and thy people with thy glory:
Sirach	Sir	71	36	15	Give testimony unto those that thou hast possessed from the beginning, and raise up prophets that have been in thy name.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	16	Reward them that wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found faithful.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	17	O Lord, hear the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that thou art the Lord, the eternal God.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	18	The belly devoureth all meats, yet is one meat better than another.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	19	As the palate tasteth divers kinds of venison: so doth an heart of understanding false speeches.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	20	A froward heart causeth heaviness: but a man of experience will recompense him.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	21	A woman will receive every man, yet is one daughter better than another.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	22	The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance, and a man loveth nothing better.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	23	If there be kindness, meekness, and comfort, in her tongue, then is not her husband like other men.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	24	He that getteth a wife beginneth a possession, a help like unto himself, and a pillar of rest.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	25	Where no hedge is, there the possession is spoiled: and he that hath no wife will wander up and down mourning.
Sirach	Sir	71	36	26	Who will trust a thief well appointed, that skippeth from city to city? so [who will believe] a man that hath no house, and lodgeth wheresoever the night taketh him?
Sirach	Sir	71	37	1	Every friend saith, I am his friend also: but there is a friend, which is only a friend in name.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	2	Is it not a grief unto death, when a companion and friend is turned to an enemy?
Sirach	Sir	71	37	3	O wicked imagination, whence camest thou in to cover the earth with deceit?
Sirach	Sir	71	37	4	There is a companion, which rejoiceth in the prosperity of a friend, but in the time of trouble will be against him.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	5	There is a companion, which helpeth his friend for the belly, and taketh up the buckler against the enemy.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	6	Forget not thy friend in thy mind, and be not unmindful of him in thy riches.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	7	Every counsellor extolleth counsel; but there is some that counselleth for himself.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	8	Beware of a counsellor, and know before what need he hath; for he will counsel for himself; lest he cast the lot upon thee,
Sirach	Sir	71	37	9	And say unto thee, Thy way is good: and afterward he stand on the other side, to see what shall befall thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	10	Consult not with one that suspecteth thee: and hide thy counsel from such as envy thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	11	Neither consult with a woman touching her of whom she is jealous; neither with a coward in matters of war; nor with a merchant concerning exchange; nor with a buyer of selling; nor with an envious man of thankfulness; nor with an unmerciful man touching kindness; nor with the slothful for any work; nor with an hireling for a year of finishing work; nor with an idle servant of much business: hearken not unto these in any matter of counsel.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	12	But be continually with a godly man, whom thou knowest to keep the commandments of the Lord, whose, mind is according to thy mind, and will sorrow with thee, if thou shalt miscarry.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	13	And let the counsel of thine own heart stand: for there is no man more faithful unto thee than it.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	14	For a man's mind is sometime wont to tell him more than seven watchmen, that sit above in an high tower.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	15	And above all this pray to the most High, that he will direct thy way in truth.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	16	Let reason go before every enterprize, and counsel before every action.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	17	The countenance is a sign of changing of the heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	18	Four manner of things appear: good and evil, life and death: but the tongue ruleth over them continually.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	19	There is one that is wise and teacheth many, and yet is unprofitable to himself.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	20	There is one that sheweth wisdom in words, and is hated: he shall be destitute of all food.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	21	For grace is not given, him from the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	22	Another is wise to himself; and the fruits of understanding are commendable in his mouth.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	23	A wise man instructeth his people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	24	A wise man shall be filled with blessing; and all they that see him shall count him happy.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	25	The days of the life of man may be numbered: but the days of Israel are innumerable.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	26	A wise man shall inherit glory among his people, and his name shall be perpetual.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	27	My son, prove thy soul in thy life, and see what is evil for it, and give not that unto it.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	28	For all things are not profitable for all men, neither hath every soul pleasure in every thing.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	29	Be not unsatiable in any dainty thing, nor too greedy upon meats:
Sirach	Sir	71	37	30	For excess of meats bringeth sickness, and surfeiting will turn into choler.
Sirach	Sir	71	37	31	By surfeiting have many perished; but he that taketh heed prolongeth his life.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	1	Honour a physician with the honour due unto him for the uses which ye may have of him: for the Lord hath created him.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	2	For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	3	The skill of the physician shall lift up his head: and in the sight of great men he shall be in admiration.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	4	The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	5	Was not the water made sweet with wood, that the virtue thereof might be known?
Sirach	Sir	71	38	6	And he hath given men skill, that he might be honoured in his marvellous works.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	7	With such doth he heal [men,] and taketh away their pains.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	8	Of such doth the apothecary make a confection; and of his works there is no end; and from him is peace over all the earth,
Sirach	Sir	71	38	9	My son, in thy sickness be not negligent: but pray unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	10	Leave off from sin, and order thine hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	11	Give a sweet savour, and a memorial of fine flour; and make a fat offering, as not being.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	12	Then give place to the physician, for the Lord hath created him: let him not go from thee, for thou hast need of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	13	There is a time when in their hands there is good success.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	14	For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	15	He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	16	My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	17	Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	18	For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	19	In affliction also sorrow remaineth: and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	20	Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	21	Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	22	Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	23	When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him, when his Spirit is departed from him.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	24	The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	25	How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?
Sirach	Sir	71	38	26	He giveth his mind to make furrows; and is diligent to give the kine fodder.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	27	So every carpenter and workmaster, that laboureth night and day: and they that cut and grave seals, and are diligent to make great variety, and give themselves to counterfeit imagery, and watch to finish a work:
Sirach	Sir	71	38	28	The smith also sitting by the anvil, and considering the iron work, the vapour of the fire wasteth his flesh, and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace: the noise of the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes look still upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh; he setteth his mind to finish his work, and watcheth to polish it perfectly:
Sirach	Sir	71	38	29	So doth the potter sitting at his work, and turning the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully set at his work, and maketh all his work by number;
Sirach	Sir	71	38	30	He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet; he applieth himself to lead it over; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace:
Sirach	Sir	71	38	31	All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	32	Without these cannot a city be inhabited: and they shall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down:
Sirach	Sir	71	38	33	They shall not be sought for in publick counsel, nor sit high in the congregation: they shall not sit on the judges' seat, nor understand the sentence of judgment: they cannot declare justice and judgment; and they shall not be found where parables are spoken.
Sirach	Sir	71	38	34	But they will maintain the state of the world, and [all] their desire is in the work of their craft.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	1	But he that giveth his mind to the law of the most High, and is occupied in the meditation thereof, will seek out the wisdom of all the ancient, and be occupied in prophecies.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	2	He will keep the sayings of the renowned men: and where subtil parables are, he will be there also.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	3	He will seek out the secrets of grave sentences, and be conversant in dark parables.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	4	He shall serve among great men, and appear before princes: he will travel through strange countries; for he hath tried the good and the evil among men.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	5	He will give his heart to resort early to the Lord that made him, and will pray before the most High, and will open his mouth in prayer, and make supplication for his sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	6	When the great Lord will, he shall be filled with the spirit of understanding: he shall pour out wise sentences, and give thanks unto the Lord in his prayer.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	7	He shall direct his counsel and knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	8	He shall shew forth that which he hath learned, and shall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	9	Many shall commend his understanding; and so long as the world endureth, it shall not be blotted out; his memorial shall not depart away, and his name shall live from generation to generation.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	10	Nations shall shew forth his wisdom, and the congregation shall declare his praise.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	11	If he die, he shall leave a greater name than a thousand: and if he live, he shall increase it.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	12	Yet have I more to say, which I have thought upon; for I am filled as the moon at the full.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	13	Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth as a rose growing by the brook of the field:
Sirach	Sir	71	39	14	And give ye a sweet savour as frankincense, and flourish as a lily, send forth a smell, and sing a song of praise, bless the Lord in all his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	15	Magnify his name, and shew forth his praise with the songs of your lips, and with harps, and in praising him ye shall say after this manner:
Sirach	Sir	71	39	16	All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due season.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	17	And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	18	At his commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	19	The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	20	He seeth from everlasting to everlasting; and there is nothing wonderful before him.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	21	A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	22	His blessing covered the dry land as a river, and watered it as a flood.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	23	As he hath turned the waters into saltness: so shall the heathen inherit his wrath.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	24	As his ways are plain unto the holy; so are they stumblingblocks unto the wicked.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	25	For the good are good things created from the beginning: so evil things for sinners.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	26	The principal things for the whole use of man's life are water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	27	All these things are for good to the godly: so to the sinners they are turned into evil.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	28	There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	29	Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all these were created for vengeance;
Sirach	Sir	71	39	30	Teeth of wild beasts, and scorpions, serpents, and the sword punishing the wicked to destruction.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	31	They shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth, when need is; and when their time is come, they shall not transgress his word.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	32	Therefore from the beginning I was resolved, and thought upon these things, and have left them in writing.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	33	All the works of the Lord are good: and he will give every needful thing in due season.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	34	So that a man cannot say, This is worse than that: for in time they shall all be well approved.
Sirach	Sir	71	39	35	And therefore praise ye the Lord with the whole heart and mouth, and bless the name of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	1	Great travail is created for every man, and an heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother's womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	2	Their imagination of things to come, and the day of death, [trouble] their thoughts, and [cause] fear of heart;
Sirach	Sir	71	40	3	From him that sitteth on a throne of glory, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes;
Sirach	Sir	71	40	4	From him that weareth purple and a crown, unto him that is clothed with a linen frock.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	5	Wrath, and envy, trouble, and unquietness, fear of death, and anger, and strife, and in the time of rest upon his bed his night sleep, do change his knowledge.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	6	A little or nothing is his rest, and afterward he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, troubled in the vision of his heart, as if he were escaped out of a battle.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	7	When all is safe, he awaketh, and marvelleth that the fear was nothing.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	8	[Such things happen] unto all flesh, both man and beast, and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	9	Death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge;
Sirach	Sir	71	40	10	These things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	11	All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again: and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	12	All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out: but true dealing shall endure for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	13	The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall vanish with noise, like a great thunder in rain.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	14	While he openeth his hand he shall rejoice: so shall transgressors come to nought.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	15	The children of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches: but are as unclean roots upon a hard rock.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	16	The weed growing upon every water and bank of a river shall be pulled up before all grass.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	17	Bountifulness is as a most fruitful garden, and mercifulness endureth for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	18	To labour, and to be content with that a man hath, is a sweet life: but he that findeth a treasure is above them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	19	Children and the building of a city continue a man's name: but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	20	Wine and musick rejoice the heart: but the love of wisdom is above them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	21	The pipe and the psaltery make sweet melody: but a pleasant tongue is above them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	22	Thine eye desireth favour and beauty: but more than both corn while it is green.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	23	A friend and companion never meet amiss: but above both is a wife with her husband.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	24	Brethren and help are against time of trouble: but alms shall deliver more than them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	25	Gold and silver make the foot stand sure: but counsel is esteemed above them both.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	26	Riches and strength lift up the heart: but the fear of the Lord is above them both: there is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek help.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	27	The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	28	My son, lead not a beggar's life; for better it is to die than to beg.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	29	The life of him that dependeth on another man's table is not to be counted for a life; for he polluteth himself with other men's meat: but a wise man well nurtured will beware thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	40	30	Begging is sweet in the mouth of the shameless: but in his belly there shall burn a fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	1	O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that liveth at rest in his possessions, unto the man that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath prosperity in all things: yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat!
Sirach	Sir	71	41	2	O death, acceptable is thy sentence unto the needy, and unto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and hath lost patience!
Sirach	Sir	71	41	3	Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before thee, and that come after; for this is the sentence of the Lord over all flesh.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	4	And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether thou have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	5	The children of sinners are abominable children, and they that are conversant in the dwelling of the ungodly.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	6	The inheritance of sinners' children shall perish, and their posterity shall have a perpetual reproach.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	7	The children will complain of an ungodly father, because they shall be reproached for his sake.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	8	Woe be unto you, ungodly men, which have forsaken the law of the most high God! for if ye increase, it shall be to your destruction:
Sirach	Sir	71	41	9	And if ye be born, ye shall be born to a curse: and if ye die, a curse shall be your portion.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	10	All that are of the earth shall turn to earth again: so the ungodly shall go from a curse to destruction.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	11	The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	12	Have regard to thy name; for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	13	A good life hath but few days: but a good name endureth for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	14	My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?
Sirach	Sir	71	41	15	A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	16	Therefore be shamefaced according to my word: for it is not good to retain all shamefacedness; neither is it altogether approved in every thing.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	17	Be ashamed of whoredom before father and mother: and of a lie before a prince and a mighty man;
Sirach	Sir	71	41	18	Of an offence before a judge and ruler; of iniquity before a congregation and people; of unjust dealing before thy partner and friend;
Sirach	Sir	71	41	19	And of theft in regard of the place where thou sojournest, and in regard of the truth of God and his covenant; and to lean with thine elbow upon the meat; and of scorning to give and take;
Sirach	Sir	71	41	20	And of silence before them that salute thee; and to look upon an harlot;
Sirach	Sir	71	41	21	And to turn away thy face from thy kinsman; or to take away a portion or a gift; or to gaze upon another man's wife.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	22	Or to be overbusy with his maid, and come not near her bed; or of upbraiding speeches before friends; and after thou hast given, upbraid not;
Sirach	Sir	71	41	23	Or of iterating and speaking again that which thou hast heard; and of revealing of secrets.
Sirach	Sir	71	41	24	So shalt thou be truly shamefaced and find favour before all men.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	1	Of these things be not thou ashamed, and accept no person to sin thereby:
Sirach	Sir	71	42	2	Of the law of the most High, and his covenant; and of judgment to justify the ungodly;
Sirach	Sir	71	42	3	Of reckoning with thy partners and travellers; or of the gift of the heritage of friends;
Sirach	Sir	71	42	4	Of exactness of balance and weights; or of getting much or little;
Sirach	Sir	71	42	5	And of merchants' indifferent selling; of much correction of children; and to make the side of an evil servant to bleed.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	6	Sure keeping is good, where an evil wife is; and shut up, where many hands are.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	7	Deliver all things in number and weight; and put all in writing that thou givest out, or receivest in.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	8	Be not ashamed to inform the unwise and foolish, and the extreme aged that contendeth with those that are young: thus shalt thou be truly learned, and approved of all men living.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	9	The father waketh for the daughter, when no man knoweth; and the care for her taketh away sleep: when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age; and being married, lest she should be hated:
Sirach	Sir	71	42	10	In her virginity, lest she should be defiled and gotten with child in her father's house; and having an husband, lest she should misbehave herself; and when she is married, lest she should be barren.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	11	Keep a sure watch over a shameless daughter, lest she make thee a laughingstock to thine enemies, and a byword in the city, and a reproach among the people, and make thee ashamed before the multitude.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	12	Behold not every body's beauty, and sit not in the midst of women.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	13	For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	14	Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	15	I will now remember the works of the Lord, and declare the things that I have seen: In the words of the Lord are his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	16	The sun that giveth light looketh upon all things, and the work thereof is full of the glory of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	17	The Lord hath not given power to the saints to declare all his marvellous works, which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, that whatsoever is might be established for his glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	18	He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices: for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	19	He declareth the things that are past, and for to come, and revealeth the steps of hidden things.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	20	No thought escapeth him, neither any word is hidden from him.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	21	He hath garnished the excellent works of his wisdom, and he is from everlasting to everlasting: unto him may nothing be added, neither can he be diminished, and he hath no need of any counsellor.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	22	Oh how desirable are all his works! and that a man may see even to a spark.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	23	All these things live and remain for ever for all uses, and they are all obedient.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	24	All things are double one against another: and he hath made nothing imperfect.
Sirach	Sir	71	42	25	One thing establisheth the good or another: and who shall be filled with beholding his glory?
Sirach	Sir	71	43	1	The pride of the height, the clear firmament, the beauty of heaven, with his glorious shew;
Sirach	Sir	71	43	2	The sun when it appeareth, declaring at his rising a marvellous instrument, the work of the most High:
Sirach	Sir	71	43	3	At noon it parcheth the country, and who can abide the burning heat thereof?
Sirach	Sir	71	43	4	A man blowing a furnace is in works of heat, but the sun burneth the mountains three times more; breathing out fiery vapours, and sending forth bright beams, it dimmeth the eyes.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	5	Great is the Lord that made it; and at his commandment runneth hastily.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	6	He made the moon also to serve in her season for a declaration of times, and a sign of the world.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	7	From the moon is the sign of feasts, a light that decreaseth in her perfection.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	8	The month is called after her name, increasing wonderfully in her changing, being an instrument of the armies above, shining in the firmament of heaven;
Sirach	Sir	71	43	9	The beauty of heaven, the glory of the stars, an ornament giving light in the highest places of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	10	At the commandment of the Holy One they will stand in their order, and never faint in their watches.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	11	Look upon the rainbow, and praise him that made it; very beautiful it is in the brightness thereof.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	12	It compasseth the heaven about with a glorious circle, and the hands of the most High have bended it.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	13	By his commandment he maketh the snow to fall aplace, and sendeth swiftly the lightnings of his judgment.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	14	Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	15	By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	16	At his sight the mountains are shaken, and at his will the south wind bloweth.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	17	The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:
Sirach	Sir	71	43	18	The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	19	The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	20	When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	21	It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	22	A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	23	By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands therein.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	24	They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	25	For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety of all kinds of beasts and whales created.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	26	By him the end of them hath prosperous success, and by his word all things consist.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	27	We may speak much, and yet come short: wherefore in sum, he is all.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	28	How shall we be able to magnify him? for he is great above all his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	29	The Lord is terrible and very great, and marvellous is his power.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	30	When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can; for even yet will he far exceed: and when ye exalt him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for ye can never go far enough.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	31	Who hath seen him, that he might tell us? and who can magnify him as he is?
Sirach	Sir	71	43	32	There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.
Sirach	Sir	71	43	33	For the Lord hath made all things; and to the godly hath he given wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	1	Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	2	The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through his great power from the beginning.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	3	Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies:
Sirach	Sir	71	44	4	Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions:
Sirach	Sir	71	44	5	Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in writing:
Sirach	Sir	71	44	6	Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations:
Sirach	Sir	71	44	7	All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	8	There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	9	And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	10	But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	11	With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	12	Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	13	Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	14	Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	15	The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will shew forth their praise.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	16	Enoch pleased the Lord, and was translated, being an example of repentance to all generations.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	17	Noah was found perfect and righteous; in the time of wrath he was taken in exchange [for the world;] therefore was he left as a remnant unto the earth, when the flood came.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	18	An everlasting covenant was made with him, that all flesh should perish no more by the flood.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	19	Abraham was a great father of many people: in glory was there none like unto him;
Sirach	Sir	71	44	20	Who kept the law of the most High, and was in covenant with him: he established the covenant in his flesh; and when he was proved, he was found faithful.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	21	Therefore he assured him by an oath, that he would bless the nations in his seed, and that he would multiply him as the dust of the earth, and exalt his seed as the stars, and cause them to inherit from sea to sea, and from the river unto the utmost part of the land.
Sirach	Sir	71	44	22	With Isaac did he establish likewise [for Abraham his father's sake] the blessing of all men, and the covenant, And made it rest upon the head of Jacob. He acknowledged him in his blessing, and gave him an heritage, and divided his portions; among the twelve tribes did he part them.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	1	And he brought out of him a merciful man, which found favour in the sight of all flesh, even Moses, beloved of God and men, whose memorial is blessed.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	2	He made him like to the glorious saints, and magnified him, so that his enemies stood in fear of him.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	3	By his words he caused the wonders to cease, and he made him glorious in the sight of kings, and gave him a commandment for his people, and shewed him part of his glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	4	He sanctified him in his faithfuless and meekness, and chose him out of all men.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	5	He made him to hear his voice, and brought him into the dark cloud, and gave him commandments before his face, even the law of life and knowledge, that he might teach Jacob his covenants, and Israel his judgments.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	6	He exalted Aaron, an holy man like unto him, even his brother, of the tribe of Levi.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	7	An everlasting covenant he made with him and gave him the priesthood among the people; he beautified him with comely ornaments, and clothed him with a robe of glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	8	He put upon him perfect glory; and strengthened him with rich garments, with breeches, with a long robe, and the ephod.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	9	And he compassed him with pomegranates, and with many golden bells round about, that as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people;
Sirach	Sir	71	45	10	With an holy garment, with gold, and blue silk, and purple, the work of the embroidere, with a breastplate of judgment, and with Urim and Thummim;
Sirach	Sir	71	45	11	With twisted scarlet, the work of the cunning workman, with precious stones graven like seals, and set in gold, the work of the jeweller, with a writing engraved for a memorial, after the number of the tribes of Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	12	He set a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour, a costly work, the desires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	13	Before him there were none such, neither did ever any stranger put them on, but only his children and his children's children perpetually.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	14	Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	15	Moses consecrated him, and anointed him with holy oil: this was appointed unto him by an everlasting covenant, and to his seed, so long as the heavens should remain, that they should minister unto him, and execute the office of the priesthood, and bless the people in his name.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	16	He chose him out of all men living to offer sacrifices to the Lord, incense, and a sweet savour, for a memorial, to make reconciliation for his people.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	17	He gave unto him his commandments, and authority in the statutes of judgments, that he should teach Jacob the testimonies, and inform Israel in his laws.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	18	Strangers conspired together against him, and maligned him in the wilderness, even the men that were of Dathan's and Abiron's side, and the congregation of Core, with fury and wrath.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	19	This the Lord saw, and it displeased him, and in his wrathful indignation were they consumed: he did wonders upon them, to consume them with the fiery flame.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	20	But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave him an heritage, and divided unto him the firstfruits of the increase; especially he prepared bread in abundance:
Sirach	Sir	71	45	21	For they eat of the sacrifices of the Lord, which he gave unto him and his seed.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	22	Howbeit in the land of the people he had no inheritance, neither had he any portion among the people: for the Lord himself is his portion and inheritance.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	23	The third in glory is Phinees the son of Eleazar, because he had zeal in the fear of the Lord, and stood up with good courage of heart: when the people were turned back, and made reconciliation for Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	24	Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with him, that he should be the chief of the sanctuary and of his people, and that he and his posterity should have the dignity of the priesthood for ever:
Sirach	Sir	71	45	25	According to the covenant made with David son of Jesse, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king should be to his posterity alone: so the inheritance of Aaron should also be unto his seed.
Sirach	Sir	71	45	26	God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	1	Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	2	How great glory gat he, when he did lift up his hands, and stretched out his sword against the cities!
Sirach	Sir	71	46	3	Who before him so stood to it? for the Lord himself brought his enemies unto him.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	4	Did not the sun go back by his means? and was not one day as long as two?
Sirach	Sir	71	46	5	He called upon the most high Lord, when the enemies pressed upon him on every side; and the great Lord heard him.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	6	And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent [of Beth-horon] he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	7	In the time of Moses also he did a work of mercy, he and Caleb the son of Jephunne, in that they withstood the congregation, and withheld the people from sin, and appeased the wicked murmuring.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	8	And of six hundred thousand people on foot, they two were preserved to bring them in to the heritage, even unto the land that floweth with milk and honey.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	9	The Lord gave strength also unto Caleb, which remained with him unto his old age: so that he entered upon the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an heritage:
Sirach	Sir	71	46	10	That all the children of Israel might see that it is good to follow the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	11	And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let their memory be blessed.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	12	Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	13	Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his Lord, established a kingdom, and anointed princes over his people.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	14	By the law of the Lord he judged the congregation, and the Lord had respect unto Jacob.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	15	By his faithfulness he was found a true prophet, and by his word he was known to be faithful in vision.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	16	He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies pressed upon him on every side, when he offered the sucking lamb.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	17	And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a great noise made his voice to be heard.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	18	And he destroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all the princes cf the Philistines.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	19	And before his long sleep he made protestations in the sight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken any man's goods, so much as a shoe: and no man did accuse him.
Sirach	Sir	71	46	20	And after his death he prophesied, and shewed the king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in prophecy, to blot out the wickedness of the people.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	1	And after him rose up Nathan to prophesy in the time of David.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	2	As is the fat taken away from the peace offering, so was David chosen out of the children of Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	3	He played with lions as with kids, and with bears as with lambs.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	4	Slew he not a giant, when he was yet but young? and did he not take away reproach from the people, when he lifted up his hand with the stone in the sling, and beat down the boasting of Goliath?
Sirach	Sir	71	47	5	For he called upon the most high Lord; and he gave him strength in his right hand to slay that mighty warrior, and set up the horn of his people.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	6	So the people honoured him with ten thousands, and praised him in the blessings of the Lord, in that he gave him a crown of glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	7	For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	8	In all his works he praised the Holy One most high with words of glory; with his whole heart he sung songs, and loved him that made him.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	9	He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	10	He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemn times until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound from morning.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	11	The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: he gave him a covenant of kings, and a throne of glory in Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	12	After him rose up a wise son, and for his sake he dwelt at large.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	13	Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was honoured; for God made all quiet round about him, that he might build an house in his name, and prepare his sanctuary for ever.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	14	How wise wast thou in thy youth and, as a flood, filled with understanding!
Sirach	Sir	71	47	15	Thy soul covered the whole earth, and thou filledst it with dark parables.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	16	Thy name went far unto the islands; and for thy peace thou wast beloved.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	17	The countries marvelled at thee for thy songs, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	18	By the name of the Lord God, which is called the Lord God of Israel, thou didst gather gold as tin and didst multiply silver as lead.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	19	Thou didst bow thy loins unto women, and by thy body thou wast brought into subjection.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	20	Thou didst stain thy honour, and pollute thy seed: so that thou broughtest wrath upon thy children, and wast grieved for thy folly.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	21	So the kingdom was divided, and out of Ephraim ruled a rebellious kingdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	22	But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, neither shall any of his works perish, neither will he abolish the posterity of his elect, and the seed of him that loveth him he will not take away: wherefore he gave a remnant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	23	Thus rested Solomon with his fathers, and of his seed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolishness of the people, and one that had no understanding, who turned away the people through his counsel. There was also Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and shewed Ephraim the way of sin:
Sirach	Sir	71	47	24	And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.
Sirach	Sir	71	47	25	For they sought out all wickedness, till the vengeance came upon them.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	1	Then stood up Elias the prophet as fire, and his word burned like a lamp.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	2	He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	3	By the word of the Lord he shut up the heaven, and also three times brought down fire.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	4	O Elias, how wast thou honoured in thy wondrous deeds! and who may glory like unto thee!
Sirach	Sir	71	48	5	Who didst raise up a dead man from death, and his soul from the place of the dead, by the word of the most High:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	6	Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honorable men from their bed:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	7	Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	8	Who annointedst kings to take revenge, and prophets to succeed after him:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	9	Who was taken up in a whirlwind of fire, and in a chariot of fiery horses:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	10	Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord's judgment, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	11	Blessed are they that saw thee, and slept in love; for we shall surely live.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	12	Elias it was, who was covered with a whirlwind: and Eliseus was filled with his spirit: whilst he lived, he was not moved with the presence of any prince, neither could any bring him into subjection.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	13	No word could overcome him; and after his death his body prophesied.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	14	He did wonders in his life, and at his death were his works marvellous.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	15	For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:
Sirach	Sir	71	48	16	Of whom some did that which was pleasing to God, and some multiplied sins.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	17	Ezekias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof: he digged the hard rock with iron, and made wells for waters.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	18	In his time Sennacherib came up, and sent Rabsaces, and lifted up his hand against Sion, and boasted proudly.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	19	Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	20	But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	21	He smote the host of the Assyrians, and his angel destroyed them.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	22	For Ezekias had done the thing that pleased the Lord, and was strong in the ways of David his father, as Esay the prophet, who was great and faithful in his vision, had commanded him.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	23	In his time the sun went backward, and he lengthened the king's life.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	24	He saw by an excellent spirit what should come to pass at the last, and he comforted them that mourned in Sion.
Sirach	Sir	71	48	25	He shewed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things or ever they came.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	1	The remembrance of Josias is like the composition of the perfume that is made by the art of the apothecary: it is sweet as honey in all mouths, and as musick at a banquet of wine.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	2	He behaved himself uprightly in the conversion of the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	3	He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the time of the ungodly he established the worship of God.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	4	All, except David and Ezekias and Josias, were defective: for they forsook the law of the most High, even the kings of Juda failed.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	5	Therefore he gave their power unto others, and their glory to a strange nation.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	6	They burnt the chosen city of the sanctuary, and made the streets desolate, according to the prophecy of Jeremias.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	7	For they entreated him evil, who nevertheless was a prophet, sanctified in his mother's womb, that he might root out, and afflict, and destroy; and that he might build up also, and plant.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	8	It was Ezekiel who saw the glorious vision, which was shewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	9	For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of the rain, and directed them that went right.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	10	And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	11	How shall we magnify Zorobabel? even he was as a signet on the right hand:
Sirach	Sir	71	49	12	So was Jesus the son of Josedec: who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	13	And among the elect was Neemias, whose renown is great, who raised up for us the walls that were fallen, and set up the gates and the bars, and raised up our ruins again.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	14	But upon the earth was no man created like Enoch; for he was taken from the earth.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	15	Neither was there a young man born like Joseph, a governor of his brethren, a stay of the people, whose bones were regarded of the Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	49	16	Sem and Seth were in great honour among men, and so was Adam above every living thing in creation.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	1	Simon the high priest, the son of Onias, who in his life repaired the house again, and in his days fortified the temple:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	2	And by him was built from the foundation the double height, the high fortress of the wall about the temple:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	3	In his days the cistern to receive water, being in compass as the sea, was covered with plates of brass:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	4	He took care of the temple that it should not fall, and fortified the city against besieging:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	5	How was he honoured in the midst of the people in his coming out of the sanctuary!
Sirach	Sir	71	50	6	He was as the morning star in the midst of a cloud, and as the moon at the full:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	7	As the sun shining upon the temple of the most High, and as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	8	And as the flower of roses in the spring of the year, as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the frankincense tree in the time of summer:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	9	As fire and incense in the censer, and as a vessel of beaten gold set with all manner of precious stones:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	10	And as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as a cypress tree which groweth up to the clouds.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	11	When he put on the robe of honour, and was clothed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the holy altar, he made the garment of holiness honourable.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	12	When he took the portions out of the priests' hands, he himself stood by the hearth of the altar, compassed about, as a young cedar in Libanus; and as palm trees compassed they him round about.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	13	So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	14	And finishing the service at the altar, that he might adorn the offering of the most high Almighty,
Sirach	Sir	71	50	15	He stretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar a sweetsmelling savour unto the most high King of all.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	16	Then shouted the sons of Aaron, and sounded the silver trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard, for a remembrance before the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	17	Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	18	The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	19	And the people besought the Lord, the most High, by prayer before him that is merciful, till the solemnity of the Lord was ended, and they had finished his service.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	20	Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over the whole congregation of the children of Israel, to give the blessing of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	21	And they bowed themselves down to worship the second time, that they might receive a blessing from the most High.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	22	Now therefore bless ye the God of all, which only doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to his mercy.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	23	He grant us joyfulness of heart, and that peace may be in our days in Israel for ever:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	24	That he would confirm his mercy with us, and deliver us at his time!
Sirach	Sir	71	50	25	There be two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation:
Sirach	Sir	71	50	26	They that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Sichem.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	27	Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	28	Blessed is he that shall be exercised in these things; and he that layeth them up in his heart shall become wise.
Sirach	Sir	71	50	29	For if he do them, he shall be strong to all things: for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wisdom to the godly. Blessed be the name of the Lord for ever. Amen, Amen.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	1	A Prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. I will thank thee, O Lord and King, and praise thee, O God my Saviour: I do give praise unto thy name:
Sirach	Sir	71	51	2	For thou art my defender and helper, and has preserved my body from destruction, and from the snare of the slanderous tongue, and from the lips that forge lies, and has been mine helper against mine adversaries:
Sirach	Sir	71	51	3	And hast delivered me, according to the multitude of they mercies and greatness of thy name, from the teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of the hands of such as sought after my life, and from the manifold afflictions which I had;
Sirach	Sir	71	51	4	From the choking of fire on every side, and from the midst of the fire which I kindled not;
Sirach	Sir	71	51	5	From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean tongue, and from lying words.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	6	By an accusation to the king from an unrighteous tongue my soul drew near even unto death, my life was near to the hell beneath.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	7	They compassed me on every side, and there was no man to help me: I looked for the succour of men, but there was none.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	8	Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon thy acts of old, how thou deliverest such as wait for thee, and savest them out of the hands of the enemies.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	9	Then lifted I up my supplications from the earth, and prayed for deliverance from death.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	10	I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, when there was no help.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	11	I will praise thy name continually, and will sing praises with thanksgiving; and so my prayer was heard:
Sirach	Sir	71	51	12	For thou savedst me from destruction, and deliveredst me from the evil time: therefore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and bless they name, O Lord.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	13	When I was yet young, or ever I went abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	14	I prayed for her before the temple, and will seek her out even to the end.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	15	Even from the flower till the grape was ripe hath my heart delighted in her: my foot went the right way, from my youth up sought I after her.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	16	I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, and gat much learning.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	17	I profited therein, therefore will I ascribe glory unto him that giveth me wisdom.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	18	For I purposed to do after her, and earnestly I followed that which is good; so shall I not be confounded.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	19	My soul hath wrestled with her, and in my doings I was exact: I stretched forth my hands to the heaven above, and bewailed my ignorances of her.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	20	I directed my soul unto her, and I found her in pureness: I have had my heart joined with her from the beginning, therefore shall I not be foresaken.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	21	My heart was troubled in seeking her: therefore have I gotten a good possession.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	22	The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, and I will praise him therewith.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	23	Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and dwell in the house of learning.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	24	Wherefore are ye slow, and what say ye to these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty?
Sirach	Sir	71	51	25	I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her for yourselves without money.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	26	Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	27	Behold with your eyes, how that I have but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	28	Get learning with a great sum of money, and get much gold by her.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	29	Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and be not ashamed of his praise.
Sirach	Sir	71	51	30	Work your work betimes, and in his time he will give you your reward.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	1	And these are the words of the book, which Baruch the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, the son of Sedecias, the son of Asadias, the son of Chelcias, wrote in Babylon,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	2	In the fifth year, and in the seventh day of the month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerusalem, and burnt it with fire.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	3	And Baruch did read the words of this book in the hearing of Jechonias the son of Joachim king of Juda, and in the ears of all the people that came to hear the book,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	4	And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's sons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the people, from the lowest unto the highest, even of all them that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	5	Whereupon they wept, fasted, and prayed before the Lord.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	6	They made also a collection of money according to every man's power:
Baruch	Bar	72	1	7	And they sent it to Jerusalem unto Joachim the high priest, the son of Chelcias, son of Salom, and to the priests, and to all the people which were found with him at Jerusalem,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	8	At the same time when he received the vessels of the house of the Lord, that were carried out of the temple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day of the month Sivan, namely, silver vessels, which Sedecias the son of Josias king of Jada had made,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	9	After that Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried away Jechonias, and the princes, and the captives, and the mighty men, and the people of the land, from Jerusalem, and brought them unto Babylon.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	10	And they said, Behold, we have sent you money to buy you burnt offerings, and sin offerings, and incense, and prepare ye manna, and offer upon the altar of the Lord our God;
Baruch	Bar	72	1	11	And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:
Baruch	Bar	72	1	12	And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	13	Pray for us also unto the Lord our God, for we have sinned against the Lord our God; and unto this day the fury of the Lord and his wrath is not turned from us.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	14	And ye shall read this book which we have sent unto you, to make confession in the house of the Lord, upon the feasts and solemn days.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	15	And ye shall say, To the Lord our God belongeth righteousness, but unto us the confusion of faces, as it is come to pass this day, unto them of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	16	And to our kings, and to our princes, and to our priests, and to our prophets, and to our fathers:
Baruch	Bar	72	1	17	For we have sinned before the Lord,
Baruch	Bar	72	1	18	And disobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the commandments that he gave us openly:
Baruch	Bar	72	1	19	Since the day that the Lord brought our forefathers out of the land of Egypt, unto this present day, we have been disobedient unto the Lord our God, and we have been negligent in not hearing his voice.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	20	Wherefore the evils cleaved unto us, and the curse, which the Lord appointed by Moses his servant at the time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like as it is to see this day.
Baruch	Bar	72	1	21	Nevertheless we have not hearkened unto the voice of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the prophets, whom he sent unto us:
Baruch	Bar	72	1	22	But every man followed the imagination of his own wicked heart, to serve strange gods, and to do evil in the sight of the Lord our God.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	1	Therefore the Lord hath made good his word, which he pronounced against us, and against our judges that judged Israel, and against our kings, and against our princes, and against the men of Israel and Juda,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	2	To bring upon us great plagues, such as never happened under the whole heaven, as it came to pass in Jerusalem, according to the things that were written in the law of Moses;
Baruch	Bar	72	2	3	That a man should eat the flesh of his own son, and the flesh of his own daughter.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	4	Moreover he hath delivered them to be in subjection to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as a reproach and desolation among all the people round about, where the Lord hath scattered them.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	5	Thus we were cast down, and not exalted, because we have sinned against the Lord our God, and have not been obedient unto his voice.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	6	To the Lord our God appertaineth righteousness: but unto us and to our fathers open shame, as appeareth this day.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	7	For all these plagues are come upon us, which the Lord hath pronounced against us
Baruch	Bar	72	2	8	Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we might turn every one from the imaginations of his wicked heart.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	9	Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and the Lord hath brought it upon us: for the Lord is righteous in all his works which he hath commanded us.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	10	Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to walk in the commandments of the Lord, that he hath set before us.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	11	And now, O Lord God of Israel, that hast brought thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and high arm, and with signs, and with wonders, and with great power, and hast gotten thyself a name, as appeareth this day:
Baruch	Bar	72	2	12	O Lord our God, we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	13	Let thy wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where thou hast scattered us.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	14	Hear our prayers, O Lord, and our petitions, and deliver us for thine own sake, and give us favour in the sight of them which have led us away:
Baruch	Bar	72	2	15	That all the earth may know that thou art the Lord our God, because Israel and his posterity is called by thy name.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	16	O Lord, look down from thine holy house, and consider us: bow down thine ear, O Lord, to hear us.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	17	Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:
Baruch	Bar	72	2	18	But the soul that is greatly vexed, which goeth stooping and feeble, and the eyes that fail, and the hungry soul, will give thee praise and righteousness, O Lord.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	19	Therefore we do not make our humble supplication before thee, O Lord our God, for the righteousness of our fathers, and of our kings.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	20	For thou hast sent out thy wrath and indignation upon us, as thou hast spoken by thy servants the prophets, saying,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	21	Thus saith the Lord, Bow down your shoulders to serve the king of Babylon: so shall ye remain in the land that I gave unto your fathers.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	22	But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to serve the king of Babylon,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	23	I will cause to cease out of the cites of Judah, and from without Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: and the whole land shall be desolate of inhabitants.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	24	But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	25	And, lo, they are cast out to the heat of the day, and to the frost of the night, and they died in great miseries by famine, by sword, and by pestilence.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	26	And the house which is called by thy name hast thou laid waste, as it is to be seen this day, for the wickedness of the house of Israel and the house of Juda.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	27	O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	28	As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	29	If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	30	For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	31	And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:
Baruch	Bar	72	2	32	And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,
Baruch	Bar	72	2	33	And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	34	And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.
Baruch	Bar	72	2	35	And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	1	O Lord Almighty, God of Israel, the soul in anguish the troubled spirit, crieth unto thee.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	2	Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; ar thou art merciful: and have pity upon us, because we have sinned before thee.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	3	For thou endurest for ever, and we perish utterly.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	4	O Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the prayers of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which have sinned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice of thee their God: for the which cause these plagues cleave unto us.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	5	Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers: but think upon thy power and thy name now at this time.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	6	For thou art the Lord our God, and thee, O Lord, will we praise.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	7	And for this cause thou hast put thy fear in our hearts, to the intent that we should call upon thy name, and praise thee in our captivity: for we have called to mind all the iniquity of our forefathers, that sinned before thee.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	8	Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where thou hast scattered us, for a reproach and a curse, and to be subject to payments, according to all the iniquities of our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	9	Hear, Israel, the commandments of life: give ear to understand wisdom.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	10	How happeneth it Israel, that thou art in thine enemies' land, that thou art waxen old in a strange country, that thou art defiled with the dead,
Baruch	Bar	72	3	11	That thou art counted with them that go down into the grave?
Baruch	Bar	72	3	12	Thou hast forsaken the fountain of wisdom.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	13	For if thou hadst walked in the way of God, thou shouldest have dwelled in peace for ever.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	14	Learn where is wisdom, where is strength, where is understanding; that thou mayest know also where is length of days, and life, where is the light of the eyes, and peace.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	15	Who hath found out her place? or who hath come into her treasures ?
Baruch	Bar	72	3	16	Where are the princes of the heathen become, and such as ruled the beasts upon the earth;
Baruch	Bar	72	3	17	They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, and they that hoarded up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and made no end of their getting?
Baruch	Bar	72	3	18	For they that wrought in silver, and were so careful, and whose works are unsearchable,
Baruch	Bar	72	3	19	They are vanished and gone down to the grave, and others are come up in their steads.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	20	Young men have seen light, and dwelt upon the earth: but the way of knowledge have they not known,
Baruch	Bar	72	3	21	Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it: their children were far off from that way.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	22	It hath not been heard of in Chanaan, neither hath it been seen in Theman.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	23	The Agarenes that seek wisdom upon earth, the merchants of Meran and of Theman, the authors of fables, and searchers out of understanding; none of these have known the way of wisdom, or remember her paths.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	24	O Israel, how great is the house of God! and how large is the place of his possession!
Baruch	Bar	72	3	25	Great, and hath none end; high, and unmeasurable.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	26	There were the giants famous from the beginning, that were of so great stature, and so expert in war.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	27	Those did not the Lord choose, neither gave he the way of knowledge unto them:
Baruch	Bar	72	3	28	But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom, and perished through their own foolishness.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	29	Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and brought her down from the clouds?
Baruch	Bar	72	3	30	Who hath gone over the sea, and found her, and will bring her for pure gold?
Baruch	Bar	72	3	31	No man knoweth her way, nor thinketh of her path.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	32	But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath found her out with his understanding: he that prepared the earth for evermore hath filled it with fourfooted beasts:
Baruch	Bar	72	3	33	He that sendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it again, and it obeyeth him with fear.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	34	The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced: when he calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	35	This is our God, and there shall none other be accounted of in comparison of him
Baruch	Bar	72	3	36	He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto Jacob his servant, and to Israel his beloved.
Baruch	Bar	72	3	37	Afterward did he shew himself upon earth, and conversed with men.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	1	This is the book of the commandments of God, and the law that endureth for ever: all they that keep it shall come to life; but such as leave it shall die.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	2	Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it: walk in the presence of the light thereof, that thou mayest be illuminated.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	3	Give not thine honour to another, nor the things that are profitable unto thee to a strange nation.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	4	O Israel, happy are we: for things that are pleasing to God are made known unto us.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	5	Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Israel.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	6	Ye were sold to the nations, not for [your] destruction: but because ye moved God to wrath, ye were delivered unto the enemies.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	7	For ye provoked him that made you by sacrificing unto devils, and not to God.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	8	Ye have forgotten the everlasting God, that brought you up; and ye have grieved Jerusalem, that nursed you.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	9	For when she saw the wrath of God coming upon you, she said, Hearken, O ye that dwell about Sion: God hath brought upon me great mourning;
Baruch	Bar	72	4	10	For I saw the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting brought upon them.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	11	With joy did I nourish them; but sent them away with weeping and mourning.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	12	Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forsaken of many, who for the sins of my children am left desolate; because they departed from the law of God.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	13	They knew not his statutes, nor walked in the ways of his commandments, nor trod in the paths of discipline in his righteousness.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	14	Let them that dwell about Sion come, and remember ye the captivity of my sons and daughters, which the Everlasting hath brought upon them.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	15	For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, a shameless nation, and of a strange language, who neither reverenced old man, nor pitied child.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	16	These have carried away the dear beloved children of the widow, and left her that was alone desolate without daughters.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	17	But what can I help you?
Baruch	Bar	72	4	18	For he that brought these plagues upon you will deliver you from the hands of your enemies.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	19	Go your way, O my children, go your way: for I am left desolate.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	20	I have put off the clothing of peace, and put upon me the sackcloth of my prayer: I will cry unto the Everlasting in my days.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	21	Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, and he will deliver you from the power and hand of the enemies.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	22	For my hope is in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come unto me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come unto you from the Everlasting our Saviour.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	23	For I sent you out with mourning and weeping: but God will give you to me again with joy and gladness for ever.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	24	Like as now the neighbours of Sion have seen your captivity: so shall they see shortly your salvation from our God which shall come upon you with great glory, and brightness of the Everlasting.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	25	My children, suffer patiently the wrath that is come upon you from God: for thine enemy hath persecuted thee; but shortly thou shalt see his destruction, and shalt tread upon his neck.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	26	My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were taken away as a flock caught of the enemies.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	27	Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto God: for ye shall be remembered of him that brought these things upon you.

Baruch	Bar	72	4	31	Miserable are they that afflicted thee, and rejoiced at thy fall.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	32	Miserable are the cities which thy children served: miserable is she that received thy sons.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	33	For as she rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy fall: so shall she be grieved for her own desolation.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	34	For I will take away the rejoicing of her great multitude, and her pride shall be turned into mourning.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	35	For fire shall come upon her from the Everlasting, long to endure; and she shall be inhabited of devils for a great time.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	36	O Jerusalem, look about thee toward the east, and behold the joy that cometh unto thee from God.
Baruch	Bar	72	4	37	Lo, thy sons come, whom thou sentest away, they come gathered together from the east to the west by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	1	Put off, O Jerusalem, the garment of mourning and affliction, and put on the comeliness of the glory that cometh from God for ever.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	2	Cast about thee a double garment of the righteousness which cometh from God; and set a diadem on thine head of the glory of the Everlasting.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	3	For God will shew thy brightness unto every country under heaven.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	4	For thy name shall be called of God for ever The peace of righteousness, and The glory of God's worship.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	5	Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand on high, and look about toward the east, and behold thy children gathered from the west unto the east by the word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the remembrance of God.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	6	For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	7	For God hath appointed that every high hill, and banks of long continuance, should be cast down, and valleys filled up, to make even the ground, that Israel may go safely in the glory of God,
Baruch	Bar	72	5	8	Moreover even the woods and every sweetsmelling tree shall overshadow Israel by the commandment of God.
Baruch	Bar	72	5	9	For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that cometh from him.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	1	And they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	2	Then Azarias stood up, and prayed on this manner; and opening his mouth in the midst of the fire said,
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	3	Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: thy name is worthy to be praised and glorified for evermore:
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	4	For thou art righteous in all the things that thou hast done to us: yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, and all thy judgments truth.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	5	In all the things that thou hast brought upon us, and upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerusalem, thou hast executed true judgment: for according to truth and judgment didst thou bring all these things upon us because of our sins.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	6	For we have sinned and committed iniquity, departing from thee.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	7	In all things have we trespassed, and not obeyed thy commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou hast commanded us, that it might go well with us.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	8	Wherefore all that thou hast brought upon us, and every thing that thou hast done to us, thou hast done in true judgment.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	9	And thou didst deliver us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful forsakers of God, and to an unjust king, and the most wicked in all the world.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	10	And now we cannot open our mouths, we are become a shame and reproach to thy servants; and to them that worship thee.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	11	Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's sake, neither disannul thou thy covenant:
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	12	And cause not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy beloved Abraham's sake, for thy servant Issac's sake, and for thy holy Israel's sake;
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	13	To whom thou hast spoken and promised, that thou wouldest multiply their seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand that lieth upon the seashore.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	14	For we, O Lord, are become less than any nation, and be kept under this day in all the world because of our sins.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	15	Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burnt offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to sacrifice before thee, and to find mercy.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	16	Nevertheless in a contrite heart and an humble spirit let us be accepted.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	17	Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	18	And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear thee, and seek thy face.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	19	Put us not to shame: but deal with us after thy lovingkindness, and according to the multitude of thy mercies.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	20	Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy name, O Lord: and let all them that do thy servants hurt be ashamed;
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	21	And let them be confounded in all their power and might, and let their strength be broken;
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	22	And let them know that thou art God, the only God, and glorious over the whole world.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	23	And the king's servants, that put them in, ceased not to make the oven hot with rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood;
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	24	So that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty and nine cubits.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	25	And it passed through, and burned those Chaldeans it found about the furnace.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	26	But the angel of the Lord came down into the oven together with Azarias and his fellows, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven;
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	27	And made the midst of the furnace as it had been a moist whistling wind, so that the fire touched them not at all, neither hurt nor troubled them.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	28	Then the three, as out of one mouth, praised, glorified, and blessed, God in the furnace, saying,
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	29	Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.
Prayer of Azariah	Azar	73	1	30	And blessed is thy glorious and holy name: and to be praised and exalted above all for ever.

Susanna	Sus	74	1	1	There dwelt a man in Babylon, called Joacim:
Susanna	Sus	74	1	2	And he took a wife, whose name was Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that feared the Lord.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	3	Her parents also were righteous, and taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	4	Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair garden joining unto his house: and to him resorted the Jews; because he was more honourable than all others.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	5	The same year were appointed two of the ancients of the people to be judges, such as the Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Babylon from ancient judges, who seemed to govern the people.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	6	These kept much at Joacim's house: and all that had any suits in law came unto them.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	7	Now when the people departed away at noon, Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	8	And the two elders saw her going in every day, and walking; so that their lust was inflamed toward her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	9	And they perverted their own mind, and turned away their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor remember just judgments.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	10	And albeit they both were wounded with her love, yet durst not one shew another his grief.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	11	For they were ashamed to declare their lust, that they desired to have to do with her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	12	Yet they watched diligently from day to day to see her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	13	And the one said to the other, Let us now go home: for it is dinner time.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	14	So when they were gone out, they parted the one from the other, and turning back again they came to the same place; and after that they had asked one another the cause, they acknowledged their lust: then appointed they a time both together, when they might find her alone.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	15	And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, she went in as before with two maids only, and she was desirous to wash herself in the garden: for it was hot.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	16	And there was no body there save the two elders, that had hid themselves, and watched her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	17	Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	18	And they did as she bade them, and shut the garden doors, and went out themselves at privy doors to fetch the things that she had commanded them: but they saw not the elders, because they were hid.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	19	Now when the maids were gone forth, the two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying,
Susanna	Sus	74	1	20	Behold, the garden doors are shut, that no man can see us, and we are in love with thee; therefore consent unto us, and lie with us.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	21	If thou wilt not, we will bear witness against thee, that a young man was with thee: and therefore thou didst send away thy maids from thee.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	22	Then Susanna sighed, and said, I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death unto me: and if I do it not I cannot escape your hands.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	23	It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not do it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	24	With that Susanna cried with a loud voice: and the two elders cried out against her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	25	Then ran the one, and opened the garden door.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	26	So when the servants of the house heard the cry in the garden, they rushed in at the privy door, to see what was done unto her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	27	But when the elders had declared their matter, the servants were greatly ashamed: for there was never such a report made of Susanna.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	28	And it came to pass the next day, when the people were assembled to her husband Joacim, the two elders came also full of mischievous imagination against Susanna to put her to death;
Susanna	Sus	74	1	29	And said before the people, Send for Susanna, the daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And so they sent.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	30	So she came with her father and mother, her children, and all her kindred.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	31	Now Susanna was a very delicate woman, and beauteous to behold.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	32	And these wicked men commanded to uncover her face, (for she was covered) that they might be filled with her beauty.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	33	Therefore her friends and all that saw her wept.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	34	Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	35	And she weeping looked up toward heaven: for her heart trusted in the Lord.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	36	And the elders said, As we walked in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the maids away.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	37	Then a young man, who there was hid, came unto her, and lay with her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	38	Then we that stood in a corner of the garden, seeing this wickedness, ran unto them.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	39	And when we saw them together, the man we could not hold: for he was stronger than we, and opened the door, and leaped out.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	40	But having taken this woman, we asked who the young man was, but she would not tell us: these things do we testify.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	41	Then the assembly believed them as those that were the elders and judges of the people: so they condemned her to death.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	42	Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, O everlasting God, that knowest the secrets, and knowest all things before they be:
Susanna	Sus	74	1	43	Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me, and, behold, I must die; whereas I never did such things as these men have maliciously invented against me.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	44	And the Lord heard her voice.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	45	Therefore when she was led to be put to death, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a young youth whose name was Daniel:
Susanna	Sus	74	1	46	Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the blood of this woman.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	47	Then all the people turned them toward him, and said, What mean these words that thou hast spoken?
Susanna	Sus	74	1	48	So he standing in the midst of them said, Are ye such fools, ye sons of Israel, that without examination or knowledge of the truth ye have condemned a daughter of Israel?
Susanna	Sus	74	1	49	Return again to the place of judgment: for they have borne false witness against her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	50	Wherefore all the people turned again in haste, and the elders said unto him, Come, sit down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath given thee the honour of an elder.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	51	Then said Daniel unto them, Put these two aside one far from another, and I will examine them.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	52	So when they were put asunder one from another, he called one of them, and said unto him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, now thy sins which thou hast committed aforetime are come to light.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	53	For thou hast pronounced false judgment and hast condemned the innocent and hast let the guilty go free; albeit the Lord saith, The innocent and righteous shalt thou not slay.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	54	Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, Under what tree sawest thou them companying together? Who answered, Under a mastick tree.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	55	And Daniel said, Very well; thou hast lied against thine own head; for even now the angel of God hath received the sentence of God to cut thee in two.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	56	So he put him aside, and commanded to bring the other, and said unto him, O thou seed of Chanaan, and not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and lust hath perverted thine heart.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	57	Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Israel, and they for fear companied with you: but the daughter of Juda would not abide your wickedness.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	58	Now therefore tell me, Under what tree didst thou take them companying together? Who answered, Under an holm tree.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	59	Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	60	With that all the assembly cried out with a loud voice, and praised God, who saveth them that trust in him.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	61	And they arose against the two elders, for Daniel had convicted them of false witness by their own mouth:
Susanna	Sus	74	1	62	And according to the law of Moses they did unto them in such sort as they maliciously intended to do to their neighbour: and they put them to death. Thus the innocent blood was saved the same day.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	63	Therefore Chelcias and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, with Joacim her husband, and all the kindred, because there was no dishonesty found in her.
Susanna	Sus	74	1	64	From that day forth was Daniel had in great reputation in the sight of the people.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	1	And king Astyages was gathered to his fathers, and Cyrus of Persia received his kingdom.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	2	And Daniel conversed with the king, and was honoured above all his friends.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	3	Now the Babylons had an idol, called Bel, and there were spent upon him every day twelve great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and six vessels of wine.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	4	And the king worshipped it and went daily to adore it: but Daniel worshipped his own God. And the king said unto him, Why dost not thou worship Bel?
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	5	Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	6	Then said the king unto him, Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living God? seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	7	Then Daniel smiled, and said, O king, be not deceived: for this is but clay within, and brass without, and did never eat or drink any thing.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	8	So the king was wroth, and called for his priests, and said unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that devoureth these expences, ye shall die.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	9	But if ye can certify me that Bel devoureth them, then Daniel shall die: for he hath spoken blasphemy against Bel. And Daniel said unto the king, Let it be according to thy word.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	10	Now the priests of Bel were threescore and ten, beside their wives and children. And the king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	11	So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out: but thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready the wine, and shut the door fast and seal it with thine own signet;
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	12	And to morrow when thou comest in, if thou findest not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will suffer death: or else Daniel, that speaketh falsely against us.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	13	And they little regarded it: for under the table they had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in continually, and consumed those things.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	14	So when they were gone forth, the king set meats before Bel.  Now Daniel had commanded his servants to bring ashes, and those they strewed throughout all the temple in the presence of the king alone: then went they out, and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's signet, and so departed.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	15	Now in the night came the priests with their wives and children, as they were wont to do, and did eat and drink up all.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	16	In the morning betime the king arose, and Daniel with him.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	17	And the king said, Daniel, are the seals whole? And he said, Yea, O king, they be whole.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	18	And as soon as he had opened the dour, the king looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	19	Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he should not go in, and said, Behold now the pavement, and mark well whose footsteps are these.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	20	And the king said, I see the footsteps of men, women, and children. And then the king was angry,
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	21	And took the priests with their wives and children, who shewed him the privy doors, where they came in, and consumed such things as were upon the table.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	22	Therefore the king slew them, and delivered Bel into Daniel's power, who destroyed him and his temple.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	23	And in that same place there was a great dragon, which they of Babylon worshipped.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	24	And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou also say that this is of brass? lo, he liveth, he eateth and drinketh; thou canst not say that he is no living god: therefore worship him.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	25	Then said Daniel unto the king, I will worship the Lord my God: for he is the living God.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	26	But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay this dragon without sword or staff. The king said, I give thee leave.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	27	Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did seethe them together, and made lumps thereof: this he put in the dragon's mouth, and so the dragon burst in sunder : and Daniel said, Lo, these are the gods ye worship.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	28	When they of Babylon heard that, they took great indignation, and conspired against the king, saying, The king is become a Jew, and he hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and put the priests to death.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	29	So they came to the king, and said, Deliver us Daniel, or else we will destroy thee and thine house.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	30	Now when the king saw that they pressed him sore, being constrained, he delivered Daniel unto them:
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	31	Who cast him into the lions' den: where he was six days.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	32	And in the den there were seven lions, and they had given them every day two carcases, and two sheep: which then were not given to them, to the intent they might devour Daniel.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	33	Now there was in Jewry a prophet, called Habbacuc, who had made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	34	But the angel of the Lord said unto Habbacuc, Go, carry the dinner that thou hast into Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	35	And Habbacuc said, Lord, I never saw Babylon; neither do I know where the den is.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	36	Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, and bare him by the hair of his head, and through the vehemency of his spirit set him in Babylon over the den.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	37	And Habbacuc cried, saying, O Daniel, Daniel, take the dinner which God hath sent thee.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	38	And Daniel said, Thou hast remembered me, O God: neither hast thou forsaken them that seek thee and love thee.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	39	So Daniel arose, and did eat: and the angel of the Lord set Habbacuc in his own place again immediately.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	40	Upon the seventh day the king went to bewail Daniel: and when he came to the den, he looked in, and behold, Daniel was sitting.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	41	Then cried the king with a loud voice, saying, Great art Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other beside thee.
Bel and the Dragon	Bel	75	1	42	And he drew him out, and cast those that were the cause of his destruction into the den: and they were devoured in a moment before his face.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	1	And it happened, after that Alexander son of Philip, the Macedonian, who came out of the land of Chettiim, had smitten Darius king of the Persians and Medes, that he reigned in his stead, the first over Greece,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	2	And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	3	And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	4	And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	5	And after these things he fell sick, and perceived that he should die.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	6	Wherefore he called his servants, such as were honourable, and had been brought up with him from his youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he was yet alive.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	7	So Alexander reigned twelves years, and then died.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	8	And his servants bare rule every one in his place.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	9	And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	10	And there came out of them a wicked root Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of Antiochus the king, who had been an hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	11	In those days went there out of Israel wicked men, who persuaded many, saying, Let us go and make a covenant with the heathen that are round about us: for since we departed from them we have had much sorrow.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	12	So this device pleased them well.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	13	Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	14	Whereupon they built a place of exercise at Jerusalem according to the customs of the heathen:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	15	And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	16	Now when the kingdom was established before Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	17	Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great multitude, with chariots, and elephants, and horsemen, and a great navy,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	18	And made war against Ptolemee king of Egypt: but Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fled; and many were wounded to death.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	19	Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt and he took the spoils thereof.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	20	And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	21	And entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	22	And the table of the shewbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials. and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crown, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	23	He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	24	And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	25	Therefore there was a great mourning in Israel, in every place where they were;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	26	So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of women was changed.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	27	Every bridegroom took up lamentation, and she that sat in the marriage chamber was in heaviness,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	28	The land also was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	29	And after two years fully expired the king sent his chief collector of tribute unto the cities of Juda, who came unto Jerusalem with a great multitude,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	30	And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	31	And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	32	But the women and children took they captive, and possessed the cattle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	33	Then builded they the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a strong hold for them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	34	And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	35	They stored it also with armour and victuals, and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became a sore snare:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	36	For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	37	Thus they shed innocent blood on every side of the sanctuary, and defiled it:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	38	Insomuch that the inhabitants of Jerusalem fled because of them: whereupon the city was made an habitation of strangers, and became strange to those that were born in her; and her own children left her.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	39	Her sanctuary was laid waste like a wilderness, her feasts were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into reproach her honour into contempt.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	40	As had been her glory, so was her dishonour increased, and her excellency was turned into mourning.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	41	Moreover king Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	42	And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	43	Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	44	For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	45	And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	46	And pollute the sanctuary and holy people:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	47	Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols, and sacrifice swine's flesh, and unclean beasts:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	48	That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	49	To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	50	And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	51	In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	52	Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	53	And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	54	Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	55	And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	56	And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	57	And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king's commandment was, that they should put him to death.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	58	Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	59	Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	60	At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	61	And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	62	Howbeit many in Israel were fully resolved and confirmed in themselves not to eat any unclean thing.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	63	Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	1	64	And there was very great wrath upon Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	1	In those days arose Mattathias the son of John, the son of Simeon, a priest of the sons of Joarib, from Jerusalem, and dwelt in Modin.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	2	And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	3	Simon; called Thassi:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	4	Judas, who was called Maccabeus:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	5	Eleazar, called Avaran: and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	6	And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	7	He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	8	Her temple is become as a man without glory.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	9	Her glorious vessels are carried away into captivity, her infants are slain in the streets, her young men with the sword of the enemy.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	10	What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	11	All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	12	And, behold, our sanctuary, even our beauty and our glory, is laid waste, and the Gentiles have profaned it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	13	To what end therefore shall we live any longer?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	14	Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	15	In the mean while the king's officers, such as compelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to make them sacrifice.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	16	And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	17	Then answered the king's officers, and said to Mattathias on this wise, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable and great man in this city, and strengthened with sons and brethren:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	18	Now therefore come thou first, and fulfil the king's commandment, like as all the heathen have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and such as remain at Jerusalem: so shalt thou and thy house be in the number of the king's friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with silver and gold, and many rewards.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	19	Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	20	Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	21	God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	22	We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	23	Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king's commandment.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	24	Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	25	Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	26	Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	27	And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a loud voice, saying, Whosoever is zealous of the law, and maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	28	So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	29	Then many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to dwell there:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	30	Both they, and their children, and their wives; and their cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	31	Now when it was told the king's servants, and the host that was at Jerusalem, in the city of David, that certain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were gone down into the secret places in the wilderness,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	32	They pursued after them a great number, and having overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war against them on the sabbath day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	33	And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	34	But they said, We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	35	So then they gave them the battle with all speed.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	36	Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	37	But said, Let us die all in our innocency: heaven and earth will testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	38	So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	39	Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	40	And one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	41	At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him; neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered im the secret places.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	42	Then came there unto him a company of Assideans who were mighty men of Israel, even all such as were voluntarily devoted unto the law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	43	Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	44	So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest fled to the heathen for succour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	45	Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	46	And what children soever they found within the coast of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	47	They pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	48	So they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	49	Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	50	Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for the law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	51	Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their time; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting name.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	52	Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	53	Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment and was made lord of Egypt.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	54	Phinees our father in being zealous and fervent obtained the covenant of an everlasting priesthood.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	55	Jesus for fulfilling the word was made a judge in Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	56	Caleb for bearing witness before the congregation received the heritage of the land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	57	David for being merciful possessed the throne of an everlasting kingdom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	58	Elias for being zealous and fervent for the law was taken up into heaven.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	59	Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, by believing were saved out of the flame.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	60	Daniel for his innocency was delivered from the mouth of lions.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	61	And thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that put their trust in him shall be overcome.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	62	Fear not then the words of a sinful man: for his glory shall be dung and worms.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	63	To day he shall be lifted up and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is come to nothing.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	64	Wherefore, ye my sons, be valiant and shew yourselves men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	65	And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	66	As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	67	Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	68	Recompense fully the heathen, and take heed to the commandments of the law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	69	So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	2	70	And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	1	Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	2	And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	3	So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	4	In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	5	For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	6	Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	7	He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	8	Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	9	So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	10	Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight against Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	11	Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	12	Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	13	Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard say that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	14	He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	15	So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	16	And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	17	Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	18	Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	19	For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	20	They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	21	But we fight for our lives and our laws.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	22	Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	23	Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	24	And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	25	Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	26	Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	27	Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	28	He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	29	Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	30	He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	31	Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	32	So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	33	And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	34	Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	35	To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	36	And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	37	So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	38	Then Lysias chose Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes, Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's friends:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	39	And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	40	So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	41	And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	42	Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	43	They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	44	Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	45	Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	46	Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	47	Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	48	And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	49	They brought also the priests' garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	50	Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	51	For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	52	And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	53	How shall we be able to stand against them, except thou, O God, be our help?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	54	Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	55	And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	56	But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	57	So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	58	And Judas said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	59	For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	3	60	Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	1	Then took Gorgias five thousand footmen, and a thousand of the best horsemen, and removed out of the camp by night;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	2	To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	3	Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	4	While as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	5	In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	6	But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	7	And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	8	Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	9	Remember how our fathers were delivered in the Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with an army.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	10	Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	11	That so all the heathen may know that there is one who delivereth and saveth Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	12	Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	13	Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	14	So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	15	Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	16	This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	17	And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	18	And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	19	As Judas was yet speaking these words, there appeared a part of them looking out of the mountain:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	20	Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	21	When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	22	They fled every one into the land of strangers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	23	Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	24	After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	25	Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	26	Now all the strangers that had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	27	Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	28	The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	29	So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	30	And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	31	Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	32	Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	33	Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	34	So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	35	Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	36	Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	37	Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	38	And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	39	They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	40	And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried toward heaven.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	41	Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	42	So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	43	Who cleansed the sanctuary, and bare out the defiled stones into an unclean place.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	44	And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	45	They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	46	And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a convenient place, until there should come a prophet to shew what should be done with them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	47	Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	48	And made up the sanctuary, and the things that were within the temple, and hallowed the courts.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	49	They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	50	And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	51	Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	52	Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	53	And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	54	Look, at what time and what day the heathen had profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with songs, and citherns, and harps, and cymbals.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	55	Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	56	And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	57	They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	58	Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	59	Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	60	At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	4	61	And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	1	Now when the nations round about heard that the altar was built and the sanctuary renewed as before, it displeased them very much.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	2	Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	3	Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Arabattine, because they besieged Gael: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	4	Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	5	He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	6	Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	7	So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	8	And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging thereto, he returned into Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	9	Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	10	And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy us:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	11	And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	12	Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	13	Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	14	While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	15	And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	16	Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	17	Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	18	So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to keep it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	19	Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	20	Now unto Simon were given three thousand men to go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country of Galaad.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	21	Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	22	And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	23	And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	24	Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	25	Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	26	And how that many of them were shut up in Bosora, and Bosor, and Alema, Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim; all these cities are strong and great:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	27	And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	28	Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	29	From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	30	And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	31	When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	32	He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	33	So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	34	Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	35	This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and and burnt it with fire.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	36	From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	37	After these things gathered Timotheus another host and encamped against Raphon beyond the brook.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	38	So Judas sent men to espy the host, who brought him word, saying, All the heathen that be round about us are assembled unto them, even a very great host.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	39	He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	40	Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	41	But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	42	Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	43	So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	44	But they took the city, and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Judas.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	45	Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	46	Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	47	Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the gates with stones.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	48	Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	49	Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	50	So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	51	Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	52	After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	53	And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	54	So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	55	Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	56	Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	57	Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	58	So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	59	Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	60	And so it was, that Joseph and Azaras were put to flight, and pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there were slain that day of the people of Israel about two thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	61	Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	62	Moreover these men came not of the seed of those, by whose hand deliverance was given unto Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	63	Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	64	Insomuch as the the people assembled unto them with joyful acclamations.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	65	Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	66	From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Samaria.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	67	At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	5	68	So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	1	About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	2	And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	3	Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	4	Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	5	Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	6	And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	7	Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	8	Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	9	And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	10	Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	11	And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	12	But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of gold and silver that were therein, and sent to destroy the inhabitants of Judea without a cause.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	13	I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	14	Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	15	And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	16	So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	17	Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	18	About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	19	Wherefore Judas, purposing to destroy them, called all the people together to besiege them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	20	So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	21	Howbeit certain of them that were besieged got forth, unto whom some ungodly men of Israel joined themselves:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	22	And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	23	We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	24	For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	25	Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	26	And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	27	Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do the greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	28	Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	29	There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	30	So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	31	These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	32	Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	33	Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	34	And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	35	Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	36	These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	37	And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	38	As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	39	Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	40	So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	41	Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	42	Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	43	Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	44	Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	45	Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	46	Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	47	Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	48	Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	49	But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	50	So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	51	As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	52	Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	53	Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	54	There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	55	At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	56	Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king's host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	57	Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	58	Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	59	And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	60	So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	61	Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	62	Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	6	63	Afterward departed he in all haste, and returned unto Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	1	In the hundred and one and fiftieth year Demetrius the son of Seleucus departed from Rome, and came up with a few men unto a city of the sea coast, and reigned there.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	2	And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	3	Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see their faces.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	4	So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	5	There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	6	And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	7	Now therefore send some man whom thou trustest, and let him go and see what havock he hath made among us, and in the king's land, and let him punish them with all them that aid them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	8	Then the king chose Bacchides, a friend of the king, who ruled beyond the flood, and was a great man in the kingdom, and faithful to the king,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	9	And him he sent with that wicked Alcimus, whom he made high priest, and commanded that he should take vengeance of the children of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	10	So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	11	But they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	12	Then did there assemble unto Alcimus and Bacchides a company of scribes, to require justice.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	13	Now the Assideans were the first among the children of Israel that sought peace of them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	14	For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	15	So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	16	Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	17	The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	18	Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in them; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	19	After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	20	Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	21	But Alcimus contended for the high priesthood.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	22	And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did much hurt in Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	23	Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done among the Israelites, even above the heathen,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	24	He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	25	On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not able to abide their force, he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	26	Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	27	So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; and sent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully with friendly words, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	28	Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see you in peace.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	29	He came therefore to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably. Howbeit the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by violence.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	30	Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	31	Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	32	Where there were slain of Nicanor's side about five thousand men, and the rest fled into the city of David.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	33	After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	34	But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and abused them shamefully, and spake proudly,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	35	And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	36	Then the priests entered in, and stood before the altar and the temple, weeping, and saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	37	Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	38	Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	39	So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	40	But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and there he prayed, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	41	O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and five thousand of them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	42	Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	43	So the thirteenth day of the month Adar the hosts joined battle: but Nicanor's host was discomfited, and he himself was first slain in the battle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	44	Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was slain, they cast away their weapons, and fled.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	45	Then they pursued after them a day's journey, from Adasa unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their trumpets.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	46	Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and closed them in; so that they, turning back upon them that pursued them, were all slain with the sword, and not one of them was left.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	47	Afterwards they took the spoils, and the prey, and smote off Nicanors head, and his right hand, which he stretched out so proudly, and brought them away, and hanged them up toward Jerusalem.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	48	For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	49	Moreover they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the thirteenth of Adar.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	7	50	Thus the land of Juda was in rest a little while.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	1	Now Judas had heard of the the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	2	And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	3	And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	4	And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	5	Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	6	How also Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with horsemen, and chariots, and a very great army, was discomfited by them;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	7	And how they took him alive, and covenanted that he and such as reigned after him should pay a great tribute, and give hostages, and that which was agreed upon,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	8	And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	9	Moreover how the Grecians had determined to come and destroy them;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	10	And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	11	It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	12	But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	13	Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those reign; and whom again they would, they displace: finally, that they were greatly exalted:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	14	Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	15	Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting alway for the people, to the end they might be well ordered:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	16	And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emmulation among them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	17	In consideration of these things, Judas chose Eupolemus the son of John, the son of Accos, and Jason the son of Eleazar, and sent them to Rome, to make a league of amity and confederacy with them,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	18	And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	19	They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	20	Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	21	So that matter pleased the Romans well.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	22	And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	23	Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	24	If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	25	The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	26	Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	27	In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	28	Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants, and that without deceit.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	29	According to these articles did the Romans make a covenant with the people of the Jews.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	30	Howbeit if hereafter the one party or the other shall think to meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	31	And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to the Jews, we have written unto him, saying, Wherefore thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and confederates the Jews?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	8	32	If therefore they complain any more against thee, we will do them justice, and fight with thee by sea and by land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	1	Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	2	Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew much people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	3	Also the first month of the hundred fifty and second year they encamped before Jerusalem:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	4	From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	5	Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	6	Who seeing the multitude of the other army to he so great were sore afraid; whereupon many conveyed themselves out of the host, insomuch as abode of them no more but eight hundred men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	7	When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	8	Nevertheless unto them that remained he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	9	But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	10	Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	11	With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	12	As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	13	They also of Judas' side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	14	Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	15	Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto the mount Azotus.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	16	But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	17	Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	18	Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	19	THen Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	20	Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	21	How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel!
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	22	As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	23	Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	24	In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	25	Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	26	And they made enquiry and search for Judas' friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	27	So was there a great affliction in Israel, the like whereof was not since the time that a prophet was not seen among them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	28	For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	29	Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are adversaries to us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	30	Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	31	Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	32	But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	33	Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	34	Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jordan with all his host upon the sabbath day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	35	Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	36	But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	37	After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	38	Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	39	Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	40	Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	41	Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	42	So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	43	Now when Bacchides heard hereof, he came on the sabbath day unto the banks of Jordan with a great power.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	44	Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	45	For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	46	Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	47	With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	48	Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	49	So there were slain of Bacchides' side that day about a thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	50	Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	51	And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	52	He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	53	Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	54	Moreover in the hundred fifty and third year, in the second month, Alcimus commanded that the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary should be pulled down; he pulled down also the works of the prophets
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	55	And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	56	So Alcimus died at that time with great torment.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	57	Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead, he returned to the king: whereupon the land of Judea was in rest two years.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	58	Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care: now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	59	So they went and consulted with him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	60	Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	61	Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	62	Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	63	Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	64	Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	65	But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	66	And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	67	And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	68	And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	69	Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	70	Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	71	Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	72	When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	9	73	Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	1	In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	2	Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	3	Moreover Demetrius sent letters unto Jonathan with loving words, so as he magnified him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	4	For said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he join with Alexander against us:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	5	Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	6	Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together an host, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him in battle: he commanded also that the hostages that were in the tower should be delivered him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	7	Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the audience of all the people, and of them that were in the tower:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	8	Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an host.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	9	Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	10	This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	11	And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and the mount Sion and about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	12	Then the strangers, that were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built, fled away;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	13	Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his own country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	14	Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	15	Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	16	He said, Shall we find such another man? now therefore we will make him our friend and confederate.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	17	Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	18	King Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	19	We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of great power, and meet to be our friend.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	20	Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king's friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	21	So in the seventh month of the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided much armour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	22	Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very sorry, and said,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	23	What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	24	I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	25	He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	26	Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	27	Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our behalf,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	28	And will grant you many immunities, and give you rewards.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	29	And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	30	And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	31	Let Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the borders thereof, both from tenths and tributes.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	32	And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	33	Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews, that were carried captives out of the land of Judea into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tributes even of their cattle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	34	Furthermore I will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, and the three days after the feast shall be all of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	35	Also no man shall have authority to meddle with or to molest any of them in any matter.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	36	I will further, that there be enrolled among the king's forces about thirty thousand men of the Jews, unto whom pay shall be given, as belongeth to all king's forces.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	37	And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	38	And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest's.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	39	As for Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, I give it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary expences of the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	40	Moreover I give every year fifteen thousand shekels of silver out of the king's accounts from the places appertaining.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	41	And all the overplus, which the officers payed not in as in former time, from henceforth shall be given toward the works of the temple.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	42	And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	43	And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jerusalem, or be within the liberties hereof, being indebted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that they have in my realm.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	44	For the building also and repairing of the works of the sanctuary expences shall be given of the king's accounts.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	45	Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, expences shall be given out of the king's accounts, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	46	Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel; for he had afflicted them very sore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	47	But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	48	Then gathered king Alexander great forces, and camped over against Demetrius.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	49	And after the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' host fled: but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed against them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	50	And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went down: and that day was Demetrius slain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	51	Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	52	Forasmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am set in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our country;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	53	For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	54	Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her as according to thy dignity.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	55	Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, and satest in the throne of their kingdom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	56	And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written: meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will marry my daughter to thee according to thy desire.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	57	So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	58	Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	59	Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, that he should come and meet him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	60	Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where he met the two kings, and gave them and their friends silver and gold, and many presents, and found favour in their sight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	61	At that time certain pestilent fellows of Israel, men of a wicked life, assembled themselves against him, to accuse him: but the king would not hear them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	62	Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his garments, and clothe him in purple: and they did so.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	63	And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	64	Now when his accusers saw that he was honored according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	65	So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	66	Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with peace and gladness.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	67	Furthermore in the; hundred threescore and fifth year came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	68	Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right sorry, and returned into Antioch.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	69	Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	70	Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and I am laughed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached: and why dost thou vaunt thy power against us in the mountains?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	71	Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter together: for with me is the power of the cities.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	72	Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to to flight in their own land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	73	Wherefore now thou shalt not be able to abide the horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where is neither stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	74	So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	75	And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	76	Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	77	Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	78	Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	79	Now Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in ambush.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	80	And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	81	But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the enemies' horses were tired.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	82	Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	83	The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, for safety.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	84	But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	85	Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	86	And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	87	After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having any spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	88	Now when king ALexander heard these things, he honoured Jonathan yet more.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	10	89	And sent him a buckle of gold, as the use is to be given to such as are of the king's blood: he gave him also Accaron with the borders thereof in possession.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	1	And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander's kingdom, and join it to his own.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	2	Whereupon he took his journey into Spain in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	3	Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he set in every one of them a garrison of soldiers to keep it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	4	And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	5	Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	6	Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppa, where they saluted one another, and lodged.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	7	Afterward Jonathan, when he had gone with the king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to Jerusalem.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	8	King Ptolemee therefore, having gotten the dominion of the cities by the sea unto Seleucia upon the sea coast, imagined wicked counsels against Alexander.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	9	Whereupon he sent ambasadors unto king Demetrius, saying, Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and I will give thee my daughter whom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in thy father's kingdom:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	10	For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	11	Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	12	Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	13	Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	14	In the mean season was king Alexander in Cilicia, because those that dwelt in those parts had revolted from him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	15	But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	16	So Alexander fled into Arabia there to be defended; but king Ptolemee was exalted:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	17	For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it unto Ptolemee.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	18	King Ptolemee also died the third day after, and they that were in the strong holds were slain one of another.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	19	By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	20	At the same time Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea to take the tower that was in Jerusalem: and he made many engines of war against it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	21	Then came ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	22	Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and immediately removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote unto Jonathan, that he should not lay siege to the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais in great haste.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	23	Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	24	And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, where he found favour in his sight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	25	And though certain ungodly men of the people had made complaints against him,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	26	Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	27	And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	28	Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	29	So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	30	King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	31	We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	32	King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	33	We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	34	Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	35	And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	36	And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	37	Now therefore see that thou make a copy of these things, and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and set upon the holy mount in a conspicuous place.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	38	After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	39	Moreover there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander's part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	40	And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	41	In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	42	So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	43	Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces are gone from me.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	44	Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	45	Howbeit they that were of the city gathered themselves together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	46	Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	47	Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city slew that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	48	Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that day, and delivered the king.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	49	So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	50	Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us and the city.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	51	With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	52	So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	53	Nevertheless he dissembled in all that ever he spake, and estranged himself from Jonathan, neither rewarded he him according to the benefits which he had received of him, but troubled him very sore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	54	After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	55	Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	56	Moreover Tryphon took the elephants, and won Antioch.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	57	At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, saying, I confirm thee in the high priesthood, and appoint thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the king's friends.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	58	Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	59	His brother Simon also he made captain from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of Egypt.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	60	Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	61	From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	62	Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	63	Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes were come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing to remove him out of the country,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	64	He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in the country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	65	Then Simon encamped against Bethsura and fought against it a long season, and shut it up:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	66	But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, and set a garrison in it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	67	As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	68	And, behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, who, having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came themselves over against him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	69	So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's side fled;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	70	Insomuch as there was not one of them left, except Mattathias the son of Absalom, and Judas the son of Calphi, the captains of the host.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	71	Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	72	Afterwards turning again to battle, he put them to flight, and so they ran away.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	73	Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	11	74	So there were slain of the heathen that day about three thousand men: but Jonathan returned to Jerusalem.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	1	Now when Jonathan saw that time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	2	He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other places, for the same purpose.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	3	So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	4	Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	5	And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	6	Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	7	There were letters sent in times past unto Onias the high priest from Darius, who reigned then among you, to signify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here underwritten doth specify.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	8	At which time Onias entreated the ambassador that was sent honourably, and received the letters, wherein declaration was made of the league and friendship.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	9	Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	10	Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers unto you altogether: for there is a long time passed since ye sent unto us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	11	We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	12	And we are right glad of your honour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	13	As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round about us have fought against us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	14	Howbeit we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	15	For we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so as we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	16	For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	17	We commanded them also to go unto you, and to salute and to deliver you our letters concerning the renewing of our brotherhood.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	18	Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer thereto.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	19	And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	20	Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the high priest, greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	21	It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and Jews are brethren, and that they are of the stock of Abraham:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	22	Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	23	We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our's, and our's are your's We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	24	Now when Jonathan heard that Demebius' princes were come to fight against him with a greater host than afore,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	25	He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	26	He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	27	Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	28	But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	29	Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	30	Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	31	Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were called Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	32	And removing thence, he came to Damascus, and so passed through all the country,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	33	Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppa, and won it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	34	For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	35	After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	36	And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	37	Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	38	Simon also set up Adida in Sephela, and made it strong with gates and bars.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	39	Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	40	Howbeit he was afraid that Jonathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him; wherefore he sought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill him. So he removed, and came to Bethsan.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	41	Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	42	Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	43	But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	44	Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou brought all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	45	Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	46	So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	47	And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	48	Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	49	Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	50	But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	51	They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	52	Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	12	53	Then all the heathen that were round about then sought to destroy them: for said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now therefore let us make war upon them, and take away their memorial from among men.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	1	Now when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered together a great host to invade the land of Judea, and destroy it,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	2	And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	3	And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and troubles which we have seen.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	4	By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	5	Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine own life in any time of trouble: for I am no better than my brethren.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	6	Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	7	Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit revived.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	8	And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	9	Fight thou our battles, and whatsoever, thou commandest us, that will we do.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	10	So then he gathered together all the men of war, and made haste to finish the walls of Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	11	Also he sent Jonathan the son of Absolom, and with him a great power, to Joppa: who casting out them that were therein remained there in it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	12	So Tryphon removed from Ptolemaus with a great power to invade the land of Judea, and Jonathan was with him in ward.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	13	But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over against the plain.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	14	Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	15	Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, concerning the business that was committed unto him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	16	Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	17	Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they spake deceitfully unto him yet sent he the money and the children, lest peradventure he should procure to himself great hatred of the people:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	18	Who might have said, Because I sent him not the money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	19	So he sent them the children and the hundred talents: howbeit Tryphon dissembled neither would he let Jonathan go.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	20	And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	21	Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	22	Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not.  So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	23	And when he came near to Bascama he slew Jonathan, who was buried there.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	24	Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	25	Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	26	And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and bewailed him many days.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	27	Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	28	Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	29	And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	30	This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	31	Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king Antiochus, and slew him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	32	And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	33	Then Simon built up the strong holds in Judea, and fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and gates, and bars, and laid up victuals therein.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	34	Moreover Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because all that Tryphon did was to spoil.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	35	Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	36	King Demetrius unto Simon the high priest, and friend of kings, as also unto the elders and nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	37	The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received: and we are ready to make a stedfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we have granted.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	38	And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall stand; and the strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be your own.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	39	As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us: and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	40	And look who are meet among you to be in our court, let then be enrolled, and let there be peace betwixt us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	41	Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from Israel in the hundred and seventieth year.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	42	Then the people of Israel began to write in their instruments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, the governor and leader of the Jews.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	43	In those days Simon camped against Gaza and besieged it round about; he made also an engine of war, and set it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	44	And they that were in the engine leaped into the city; whereupon there was a great uproar in the city:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	45	Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	46	And they said, Deal not with us according to our wickedness, but according to thy mercy.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	47	So Simon was appeased toward them, and fought no more against them, but put them out of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein the idols were, and so entered into it with songs and thanksgiving.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	48	Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	49	They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor buy, nor sell: wherefore they were in great distress for want of victuals, and a great number of them perished through famine.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	50	Then cried they to Simon, beseeching him to be at one with them: which thing he granted them; and when he had put them out from thence, he cleansed the tower from pollutions:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	51	And entered into it the three and twentieth day of the second month in the hundred seventy and first year, with thanksgiving, and branches of palm trees, and with harps, and cymbals, and with viols, and hymns, and songs: because there was destroyed a great enemy out of Israel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	52	He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	13	53	And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	1	Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphone.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	2	But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	3	Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	4	As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	5	And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	6	And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	7	And gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazera, and Bethsura, and the tower, out of the which he took all uncleaness, neither was there any that resisted him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	8	Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	9	The ancient men sat all in the streets, communing together of good things, and the young men put on glorious and warlike apparel.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	10	He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	11	He made peace in the land, and Israel rejoiced with great joy:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	12	For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	13	Neither was there any left in the land to fight against them: yea, the kings themselves were overthrown in those days.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	14	Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	15	He beautified the sanctuary, and multiplied vessels of the temple.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	16	Now when it was heard at Rome, and as far as Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very sorry.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	17	But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	18	They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	19	Which writings were read before the congregation at Jerusalem.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	20	And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	21	The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	22	And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	23	And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	24	After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	25	Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	26	For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	27	So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	28	At Saramel in the great congregation of the priests, and people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the country, were these things notified unto us.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	29	Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	30	(For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	31	Their enemies prepared to invade their country, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	32	At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	33	And fortified the cities of Judea, together with Bethsura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the armour of the enemies had been before; but he set a garrison of Jews there:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	34	Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	35	The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	36	For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	37	But he placed Jews therein. and fortified it for the safety of the country and the city, and raised up the walls of Jerusalem.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	38	King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood according to those things,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	39	And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	40	For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	41	Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	42	Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	43	Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	44	Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	45	And whosoever should do otherwise, or break any of these things, he should be punished.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	46	Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, and to do as hath been said.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	47	Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleased to be high priest, and captain and governor of the Jews and priests, and to defend them all.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	48	So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	14	49	Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	1	Moreover Antiochus son of Demetrius the king sent letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest and prince of the Jews, and to all the people;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	2	The contents whereof were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews, greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	3	Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	4	My meaning also being to go through the country, that I may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many cities in the kingdom desolate:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	5	Now therefore I confirm unto thee all the oblations which the kings before me granted thee, and whatsoever gifts besides they granted.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	6	I give thee leave also to coin money for thy country with thine own stamp.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	7	And as concerning Jerusalem and the sanctuary, let them be free; and all the armour that thou hast made, and fortresses that thou hast built, and keepest in thine hands, let them remain unto thee.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	8	And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	9	Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, we will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, with great honour, so that your honour shall be known throughout the world.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	10	In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	11	Wherefore being pursued by king Antiochus, he fled unto Dora, which lieth by the sea side:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	12	For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	13	Then camped Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand horsemen.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	14	And when he had compassed the city round about, and joined ships close to the town on the sea side, he vexed the city by land and by sea, neither suffered he any to go out or in.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	15	In the mean season came Numenius and his company from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries; wherein were written these things:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	16	Lucius, consul of the Romans unto king Ptolemee, greeting:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	17	The Jews' ambassadors, our friends and confederates, came unto us to renew the old friendship and league, being sent from Simon the high priest, and from the people of the Jews:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	18	And they brought a shield of gold of a thousand pound.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	19	We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their enemies against them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	20	It seemed also good to us to receive the shield of them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	21	If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	22	The same things wrote he likewise unto Demetrius the king, and Attalus, to Ariarathes, and Arsaces,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	23	And to all the countries and to Sampsames, and the Lacedemonians, and to Delus, and Myndus, and Sicyon, and Caria, and Samos, and Pamphylia, and Lycia, and Halicarnassus, and Rhodus, and Aradus, and Cos, and Side, and Aradus, and Gortyna, and Cnidus, and Cyprus, and Cyrene.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	24	And the copy hereof they wrote to Simon the high priest.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	25	So Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second day, assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	26	At that time Simon sent him two thousand chosen men to aid him; silver also, and gold, and much armour.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	27	Nevertheless he would not receive them, but brake all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and became strange unto him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	28	Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	29	The borders thereof ye have wasted, and done great hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places within my kingdom.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	30	Now therefore deliver the cities which ye have taken, and the tributes of the places, whereof ye have gotten dominion without the borders of Judea:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	31	Or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: if not, we will come and fight against you
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	32	So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king's message.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	33	Then answered Simon, and said unto him, We have neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which appertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies had wrongfully in possession a certain time.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	34	Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inheritance of our fathers.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	35	And whereas thou demandest Joppa and Gazera, albeit they did great harm unto the people in our country, yet will we give thee an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word;
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	36	But returned in a rage to the king, and made report unto him of these speeches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	37	In the mean time fled Tryphon by ship unto Orthosias.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	38	Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the sea coast, and gave him an host of footmen and horsemen,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	39	And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	40	So Cendebeus came to Jamnia and began to provoke the people and to invade Judea, and to take the people prisoners, and slay them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	15	41	And when he had built up Cedrou, he set horsemen there, and an host of footmen, to the end that issuing out they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as the king had commanded him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	1	Then came up John from Gazera, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	2	Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	3	But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	4	So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	5	And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	6	So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	7	That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies' horsemen were very many.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	8	Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	9	At that time was Judas John's brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Cedron, which Cendebeus had built.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	10	So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Azotus; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	11	Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	12	For he was the high priest's son in law.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	13	Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	14	Now Simon was visiting the cities that were in the country, and taking care for the good ordering of them; at which time he came down himself to Jericho with his sons, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threescore and seventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat:
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	15	Where the son of Abubus receiving them deceitfully into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made them a great banquet: howbeit he had hid men there.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	16	So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	17	In which doing he committed a great treachery, and recompensed evil for good.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	18	Then Ptolemee wrote these things, and sent to the king, that he should send him an host to aid him, and he would deliver him the country and cities.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	19	He sent others also to Gazera to kill John: and unto the tribunes he sent letters to come unto him, that he might give them silver, and gold, and rewards.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	20	And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and the mountain of the temple.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	21	Now one had run afore to Gazera and told John that his father and brethren were slain, and, quoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee also.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	22	Hereof when he heard, he was sore astonished: so he laid hands on them that were come to destroy him, and slew them; for he knew that they sought to make him away.
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	23	As concerning the rest of the acts of John, and his wars, and worthy deeds which he did, and the building of the walls which he made, and his doings,
1 Maccabees	1Mac	76	16	24	Behold, these are written in the chronicles of his priesthood, from the time he was made high priest after his father.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	1	The brethren, the Jews that be at Jerusalem and in the land of Judea, wish unto the brethren, the Jews that are throughout Egypt health and peace:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	2	God be gracious unto you, and remember his covenant that he made with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, his faithful servants;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	3	And give you all an heart to serve him, and to do his will, with a good courage and a willing mind;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	4	And open your hearts in his law and commandments, and send you peace,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	5	And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and never forsake you in time of trouble.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	6	And now we be here praying for you.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	7	What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	8	And burned the porch, and shed innocent blood: then we prayed unto the Lord, and were heard; we offered also sacrifices and fine flour, and lighted the lamps, and set forth the loaves.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	9	And now see that ye keep the feast of tabernacles in the month Casleu.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	10	In the hundred fourscore and eighth year, the people that were at Jerusalem and in Judea, and the council, and Judas, sent greeting and health unto Aristobulus, king Ptolemeus' master, who was of the stock of the anointed priests, and to the Jews that were in Egypt:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	11	Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	12	For he cast them out that fought within the holy city.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	13	For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's priests.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	14	For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	15	Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	16	And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads and cast them to those that were without.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	17	Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up the ungodly.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	18	Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	19	For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that were then devout took the fire of the altar privily, and hid it in an hollow place of a pit without water, where they kept it sure, so that the place was unknown to all men.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	20	Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of those priests that had hid it to the fire: but when they told us they found no fire, but thick water;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	21	Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to bring it; and when the sacrifices were laid on, Neemias commanded the priests to sprinkle the wood and the things laid thereupon with the water.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	22	When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	23	And the priests made a prayer whilst the sacrifice was consuming, I say, both the priests, and all the rest, Jonathan beginning, and the rest answering thereunto, as Neemias did.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	24	And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	25	The only giver of all things, the only just, almighty, and everlasting, thou that deliverest Israel from all trouble, and didst choose the fathers, and sanctify them:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	26	Receive the sacrifice for thy whole people Israel, and preserve thine own portion, and sanctify it.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	27	Gather those together that are scattered from us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art our God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	28	Punish them that oppress us, and with pride do us wrong.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	29	Plant thy people again in thy holy place, as Moses hath spoken.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	30	And the priests sung psalms of thanksgiving.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	31	Now when the sacrifice was consumed, Neemias commanded the water that was left to be poured on the great stones.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	32	When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	33	So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	34	Then the king, inclosing the place, made it holy, after he had tried the matter.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	35	And the king took many gifts, and bestowed thereof on those whom he would gratify.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	1	36	And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	1	It is also found in the records, that Jeremy the prophet commanded them that were carried away to take of the fire, as it hath been signified:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	2	And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	3	And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	4	It was also contained in the same writing, that the prophet, being warned of God, commanded the tabernacle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the mountain, where Moses climbed up, and saw the heritage of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	5	And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, and the ark, and the altar of incense, and so stopped the door.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	6	And some of those that followed him came to mark the way, but they could not find it.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	7	Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, saying, As for that place, it shall be unknown until the time that God gather his people again together, and receive them unto mercy.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	8	Then shall the Lord shew them these things, and the glory of the Lord shall appear, and the cloud also, as it was shewed under Moses, and as when Solomon desired that the place might be honourably sanctified.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	9	It was also declared, that he being wise offered the sacrifice of dedication, and of the finishing of the temple.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	10	And as when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the sacrifices: even so prayed Solomon also, and the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offerings.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	11	And Moses said, Because the sin offering was not to be eaten, it was consumed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	12	So Solomon kept those eight days.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	13	The same things also were reported in the writings and commentaries of Neemias; and how he founding a library gathered together the acts of the kings, and the prophets, and of David, and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy gifts.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	14	In like manner also Judas gathered together all those things that were lost by reason of the war we had, and they remain with us,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	15	Wherefore if ye have need thereof, send some to fetch them unto you.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	16	Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purification, we have written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keep the same days.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	17	We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his people, and gave them all an heritage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	18	As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	19	Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and his brethren, and the purification of the great temple, and the dedication of the altar,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	20	And the wars against Antiochus Epiphanes, and Eupator his son,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	21	And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those that behaved themselves manfully to their honour for Judaism: so that, being but a few, they overcame the whole country, and chased barbarous multitudes,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	22	And recovered again the temple renowned all the world over, and freed the city, and upheld the laws which were going down, the Lord being gracious unto them with all favour:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	23	All these things, I say, being declared by Jason of Cyrene in five books, we will assay to abridge in one volume.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	24	For considering the infinite number, and the difficulty which they find that desire to look into the narrations of the story, for the variety of the matter,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	25	We have been careful, that they that will read may have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it comes might have profit.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	26	Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	27	Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	28	Leaving to the author the exact handling of every particular, and labouring to follow the rules of an abridgement.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	29	For as the master builder of a new house must care for the whole building; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof: even so I think it is with us.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	30	To stand upon every point, and go over things at large, and to be curious in particulars, belongeth to the first author of the story:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	31	But to use brevity, and avoid much labouring of the work, is to be granted to him that will make an abridgment.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	2	32	Here then will we begin the story: only adding thus much to that which hath been said, that it is a foolish thing to make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	1	Now when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, and the laws were kept very well, because of the godliness of Onias the high priest, and his hatred of wickedness,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	2	It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	3	Insomuch that Seleucus of Asia of his own revenues bare all the costs belonging to the service of the sacrifices.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	4	But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, who was made governor of the temple, fell out with the high priest about disorder in the city.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	5	And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him to Apollonius the son of Thraseas, who then was governor of Celosyria and Phenice,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	6	And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king's hand.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	7	Now when Apollonius came to the king, and had shewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his treasurer, and sent him with a commandment to bring him the foresaid money.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	8	So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey; under a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king's purpose.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	9	And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received of the high priest of the city, he told him what intelligence was given of the money, and declared wherefore he came, and asked if these things were so indeed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	10	Then the high priest told him that there was such money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherless children:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	11	And that some of it belonged to Hircanus son of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that wicked Simon had misinformed: the sum whereof in all was four hundred talents of silver, and two hundred of gold:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	12	And that it was altogether impossible that such wrongs should be done unto them, that had committed it to the holiness of the place, and to the majesty and inviolable sanctity of the temple, honoured over all the world.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	13	But Heliodorus, because of the king's commandment given him, said, That in any wise it must be brought into the king's treasury.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	14	So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	15	But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to he kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	16	Then whoso had looked the high priest in the face, it would have wounded his heart: for his countenance and the changing of his colour declared the inward agony of his mind.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	17	For the man was so compassed with fear and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that looked upon him, what sorrow he had now in his heart.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	18	Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	19	And the women, girt with sackcloth under their breasts, abounded in the streets, and the virgins that were kept in ran, some to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	20	And all, holding their hands toward heaven, made supplication.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	21	Then it would have pitied a man to see the falling down of the multitude of all sorts, and the fear of the high priest being in such an agony.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	22	They then called upon the Almighty Lord to keep the things committed of trust safe and sure for those that had committed them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	23	Nevertheless Heliodorus executed that which was decreed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	24	Now as he was there present himself with his guard about the treasury, the Lord of spirits, and the Prince of all power, caused a great apparition, so that all that presumed to come in with him were astonished at the power of God, and fainted, and were sore afraid.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	25	For there appeared unto them an horse with a terrible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair covering, and he ran fiercely, and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet, and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete harness of gold.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	26	Moreover two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side; and scourged him continually, and gave him many sore stripes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	27	And Heliodorus fell suddenly unto the ground, and was compassed with great darkness: but they that were with him took him up, and put him into a litter.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	28	Thus him, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons: and manifestly they acknowledged the power of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	29	For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	30	But they praised the Lord, that had miraculously honoured his own place: for the temple; which a little afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladness.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	31	Then straightways certain of Heliodorus' friends prayed Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghost.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	32	So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should misconceive that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice for the health of the man.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	33	Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the same clothing appeared and stood beside Heliodorus, saying, Give Onias the high priest great thanks, insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	34	And seeing that thou hast been scourged from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And when they had spoken these words, they appeared no more.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	35	So Heliodorus, after he had offered sacrifice unto the Lord, and made great vows unto him that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, returned with his host to the king.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	36	Then testified he to all men the works of the great God, which he had seen with his eyes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	37	And when the king Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once again to Jerusalem, he said,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	38	If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him well scourged, if he escape with his life: for in that place, no doubt; there is an especial power of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	39	For he that dwelleth in heaven hath his eye on that place, and defendeth it; and he beateth and destroyeth them that come to hurt it.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	3	40	And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	1	This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he ha terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	2	Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had deserved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, and was so zealous of the laws.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	3	But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon's faction murders were committed,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	4	Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon's malice,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	5	He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	6	For he saw that it was impossible that the state should continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unless the king did look thereunto.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	7	But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	8	Promising unto the king by intercession three hundred and threescore talents of silver, and of another revenue eighty talents:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	9	Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	10	Which when the king had granted, and he had gotten into his hand the rule he forthwith brought his own nation to Greekish fashion.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	11	And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	12	For he built gladly a place of exercise under the tower itself, and brought the chief young men under his subjection, and made them wear a hat.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	13	Now such was the height of Greek fashions, and increase of heathenish manners, through the exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly wretch, and no high priest;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	14	That the priests had no courage to serve any more at the altar, but despising the temple, and neglecting the sacrifices, hastened to be partakers of the unlawful allowance in the place of exercise, after the game of Discus called them forth;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	15	Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	16	By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them: for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	17	For it is not a light thing to do wickedly against the laws of God: but the time following shall declare these things.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	18	Now when the game that was used every faith year was kept at Tyrus, the king being present,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	19	This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	20	This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules' sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	21	Now when Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor, Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety: whereupon he came to Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	22	Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	23	Three years afterward Jason sent Menelaus, the aforesaid Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the king, and to put him in mind of certain necessary matters.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	24	But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	25	So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	26	Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	27	So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sostratis the ruler of the castle required it:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	28	For unto him appertained the gathering of the customs.  Wherefore they were both called before the king.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	29	Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	30	While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king's concubine, called Antiochus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	31	Then came the king in all haste to appease matters, leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	32	Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into Tyrus and the cities round about.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	33	Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochia.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	34	Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed, him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	35	For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	36	And when the king was come again from the places about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Onias was slain without cause.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	37	Therefore Antiochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behaviour of him that was dead.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	38	And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andronicus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Onias, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	39	Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysimachus with the consent of Menelaus, and the fruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysimachus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	40	Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysimachus armed about three thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one Auranus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	41	They then seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust, that was next at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus, and those that set upon them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	42	Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee: but as for the churchrobber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	43	Of these matters therefore there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	44	Now when the king came to Tyrus, three men that were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	45	But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemee the son of Dorymenes to give him much money, if he would pacify the king toward him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	46	Whereupon Ptolemee taking the king aside into a certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to be of another mind:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	47	Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	48	Thus they that followed the matter for the city, and for the people, and for the holy vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	49	Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred of that wicked deed, caused them to be honourably buried.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	4	50	And so through the covetousness of them that were of power Menelaus remained still in authority, increasing in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	1	About the same time Antiochus prepared his second voyage into Egypt:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	2	And then it happened, that through all the city, for the space almost of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lances, like a band of soldiers,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	3	And troops of horsemen in array, encountering and running one against another, with shaking of shields, and multitude of pikes, and drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments, and harness of all sorts.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	4	Wherefore every man prayed that that apparition might turn to good.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	5	Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though Antiochus had been dead, Jason took at the least a thousand men, and suddenly made an assault upon the city; and they that were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length taken, Menelaus fled into the castle:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	6	But Jason slew his own citizens without mercy, not considering that to get the day of them of his own nation would be a most unhappy day for him; but thinking they had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he conquered.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	7	Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	8	In the end therefore he had an unhappy return, being accused before Aretas the king of the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an open enemy of his country and countrymen, he was cast out into Egypt.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	9	Thus he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	10	And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	11	Now when this that was done came to the king's car, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	12	And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	13	Thus there was killing of young and old, making away of men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	14	And there were destroyed within the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the conflict; and no fewer sold than slain.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	15	Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	16	And taking the holy vessels with polluted hands, and with profane hands pulling down the things that were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation and glory and honour of the place, he gave them away.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	17	And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	18	For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	19	Nevertheless God did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place far the people's sake.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	20	And therefore the place itself, that was partaker with them of the adversity that happened to the nation, did afterward communicate in the benefits sent from the Lord: and as it was forsaken in the wrath of the Almighty, so again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up with all glory.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	21	So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all haste unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: such was the haughtiness of his mind.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	22	And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for manners more barbarous than he that set him there;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	23	And at Garizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest bare an heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	24	He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	25	Who coming to Jerusalem, and pretending peace, did forbear till the holy day of the sabbath, when taking the Jews keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	26	And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	5	27	But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	1	Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	2	And to pollute also the temple in Jerusalem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olympius; and that in Garizim, of Jupiter the Defender of strangers, as they did desire that dwelt in the place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	3	The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	4	For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with women within the circuit of the holy places, and besides that brought in things that were not lawful.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	5	The altar also was filled with profane things, which the law forbiddeth.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	6	Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sabbath days or ancient fasts, or to profess himself at all to be a Jew.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	7	And in the day of the king's birth every month they were brought by bitter constraint to eat of the sacrifices; and when the fast of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were compelled to go in procession to Bacchus, carrying ivy.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	8	Moreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	9	And whoso would not conform themselves to the manners of the Gentiles should be put to death. Then might a man have seen the present misery.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	10	For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes handing at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	11	And others, that had run together into caves near by, to keep the sabbath day secretly, being discovered by Philip, were all burnt together, because they made a conscience to help themselves for the honour of the most sacred day.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	12	Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	13	For it is a token of his great goodness, when wicked doers are not suffered any long time, but forthwith punished.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	14	For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	15	Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	16	And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	17	But let this that we at spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	18	Eleazar, one of the principal scribes, an aged man, and of a well favoured countenance, was constrained to open his mouth, and to eat swine's flesh.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	19	But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, than to live stained with such an abomination, spit it forth, and came of his own accord to the torment,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	20	As it behoved them to come, that are resolute to stand out against such things, as are not lawful for love of life to be tasted.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	21	But they that had the charge of that wicked feast, for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking him aside, besought him to bring flesh of his own provision, such as was lawful for him to use, and make as if he did eat of the flesh taken from the sacrifice commanded by the king;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	22	That in so doing he might be delivered from death, and for the old friendship with them find favour.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	23	But he began to consider discreetly, and as became his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the honour of his gray head, whereon was come, and his most honest education from a child, or rather the holy law made and given by God: therefore he answered accordingly, and willed them straightways to send him to the grave.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	24	For it becometh not our age, said he, in any wise to dissemble, whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, being fourscore years old and ten, were now gone to a strange religion;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	25	And so they through mine hypocrisy, and desire to live a little time and a moment longer, should be deceived by me, and I get a stain to mine old age, and make it abominable.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	26	For though for the present time I should be delivered from the punishment of men: yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty, neither alive, nor dead.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	27	Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will shew myself such an one as mine age requireth,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	28	And leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	29	They that led him changing the good will they bare him a little before into hatred, because the foresaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, from a desperate mind.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	30	But when he was ready to die with stripes, he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the Lord, that hath the holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered from death, I now endure sore pains in body by being beaten: but in soul am well content to suffer these things, because I fear him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	6	31	And thus this man died, leaving his death for an example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not only unto young men, but unto all his nation.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	1	It came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to taste swine's flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	2	But one of them that spake first said thus, What wouldest thou ask or learn of us? we are ready to die, rather than to transgress the laws of our fathers.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	3	Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and caldrons to be made hot:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	4	Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut out the tongue of him that spake first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, the rest of his brethren and his mother looking on.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	5	Now when he was thus maimed in all his members, he commanded him being yet alive to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a good space dispersed, they exhorted one another with the mother to die manfully, saying thus,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	6	The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	7	So when the first was dead after this number, they brought the second to make him a mocking stock: and when they had pulled off the skin of his head with the hair, they asked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be punished throughout every member of thy body?
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	8	But he answered in his own language, and said, No. Wherefore he also received the next torment in order, as the former did.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	9	And when he was at the last gasp, he said, Thou like a fury takest us out of this present life, but the King of the world shall raise us up, who have died for his laws, unto everlasting life.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	10	After him was the third made a mocking stock: and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth his hands manfully.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	11	And said courageously, These I had from heaven; and for his laws I despise them; and from him I hope to receive them again.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	12	Insomuch that the king, and they that were with him, marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he nothing regarded the pains.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	13	Now when this man was dead also, they tormented and mangled the fourth in like manner.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	14	So when he was ready to die he said thus, It is good, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God to be raised up again by him: as for thee, thou shalt have no resurrection to life.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	15	Afterward they brought the fifth also, and mangled him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	16	Then looked he unto the king, and said, Thou hast power over men, thou art corruptible, thou doest what thou wilt; yet think not that our nation is forsaken of God;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	17	But abide a while, and behold his great power, how he will torment thee and thy seed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	18	After him also they brought the sixth, who being ready to die said, Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God: therefore marvellous things are done unto us.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	19	But think not thou, that takest in hand to strive against God, that thou shalt escape unpunished.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	20	But the mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory: for when she saw her seven sons slain within the space of one day, she bare it with a good courage, because of the hope that she had in the Lord.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	21	Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her own language, filled with courageous spirits; and stirring up her womanish thoughts with a manly stomach, she said unto them,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	22	I cannot tell how ye came into my womb: for I neither gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that formed the members of every one of you;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	23	But doubtless the Creator of the world, who formed the generation of man, and found out the beginning of all things, will also of his own mercy give you breath and life again, as ye now regard not your own selves for his laws' sake.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	24	Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	25	But when the young man would in no case hearken unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her that she would counsel the young man to save his life.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	26	And when he had exhorted her with many words, she promised him that she would counsel her son.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	27	But she bowing herself toward him, laughing the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her country language on this manner; O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee such three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	28	I beseech thee, my son, look upon the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, and consider that God made them of things that were not; and so was mankind made likewise.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	29	Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	30	Whiles she was yet speaking these words, the young man said, Whom wait ye for? I will not obey the king's commandment: but I will obey the commandment of the law that was given unto our fathers by Moses.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	31	And thou, that hast been the author of all mischief against the Hebrews, shalt not escape the hands of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	32	For we suffer because of our sins.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	33	And though the living Lord be angry with us a little while for our chastening and correction, yet shall he be at one again with his servants.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	34	But thou, O godless man, and of all other most wicked, be not lifted up without a cause, nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand against the servants of God:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	35	For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of Almighty God, who seeth all things.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	36	For our brethren, who now have suffered a short pain, are dead under God's covenant of everlasting life: but thou, through the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	37	But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be merciful unto our nation; and that thou by torments and plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	38	And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon our nation, may cease.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	39	Than the king' being in a rage, handed him worse than all the rest, and took it grievously that he was mocked.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	40	So this man died undefiled, and put his whole trust in the Lord.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	41	Last of all after the sons the mother died.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	7	42	Let this be enough now to have spoken concerning the idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	1	Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews' religion, and assembled about six thousand men.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	2	And they called upon the Lord, that he would look upon the people that was trodden down of all; and also pity the temple profaned of ungodly men;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	3	And that he would have compassion upon the city, sore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground; and hear the blood that cried unto him,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	4	And remember the wicked slaughter of harmless infants, and the blasphemies committed against his name; and that he would shew his hatred against the wicked.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	5	Now when Maccabeus had his company about him, he could not be withstood by the heathen: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	6	Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns and cities, and got into his hands the most commodious places, and overcame and put to flight no small number of his enemies.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	7	But specially took he advantage of the night for such privy attempts, insomuch that the fruit of his holiness was spread every where.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	8	So when Philip saw that this man increased by little and little, and that things prospered with him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king's affairs.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	9	Then forthwith choosing Nicanor the son of Patroclus, one of his special friends, he sent him with no fewer than twenty thousand of all nations under him, to root out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he joined also Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had great experience.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	10	So Nicanor undertook to make so much money of the captive Jews, as should defray the tribute of two thousand talents, which the king was to pay to the Romans.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	11	Wherefore immediately he sent to the cities upon the sea coast, proclaiming a sale of the captive Jews, and promising that they should have fourscore and ten bodies for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to follow upon him from the Almighty God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	12	Now when word was brought unto Judas of Nicanor's coming, and he had imparted unto those that were with him that the army was at hand,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	13	They that were fearful, and distrusted the justice of God, fled, and conveyed themselves away.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	14	Others sold all that they had left, and withal besought the Lord to deliver them, sold by the wicked Nicanor before they met together:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	15	And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name's sake, by which they were called.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	16	So Maccabeus called his men together unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted them not to be stricken with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great multitude of the heathen, who came wrongly against them; but to fight manfully,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	17	And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	18	For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	19	Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand perished.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	20	And he told them of the battle that they had in Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight thousand in all to the business, with four thousand Macedonians, and that the Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thousand destroyed an hundred and twenty thousand because of the help that they had from heaven, and so received a great booty.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	21	Thus when he had made them bold with these words, and ready to die for the law and the country, he divided his army into four parts;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	22	And joined with himself his own brethren, leaders of each band, to wit Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, giving each one fifteen hundred men.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	23	Also he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book: and when he had given them this watchword, The help of God; himself leading the first band,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	24	And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor's host, and so put all to flight;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	25	And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	26	For it was the day before the sabbath, and therefore they would no longer pursue them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	27	So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	28	And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	29	When this was done, and they had made a common supplication, they besought the merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants for ever.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	30	Moreover of those that were with Timotheus and Bacchides, who fought against them, they slew above twenty thousand, and very easily got high and strong holds, and divided among themselves many spoils more, and made the maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the aged also, equal in spoils with themselves.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	31	And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	32	They slew also Philarches, that wicked person, who was with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	33	Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	34	As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	35	He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	8	36	Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	1	About that time came Antiochus with dishonour out of the country of Persia
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	2	For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	3	Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	4	Then swelling with anger. he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariotman to drive without ceasing, and to dispatch the journey, the judgment of God now following him. For he had spoken proudly in this sort, That he would come to Jerusalem and make it a common burying place of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	5	But the Lord Almighty, the God of Isreal, smote him with an incurable and invisible plague: or as soon as he had spoken these words, a pain of the bowels that was remediless came upon him, and sore torments of the inner parts;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	6	And that most justly: for he had tormented other men's bowels with many and strange torments.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	7	Howbeit he nothing at all ceased from his bragging, but still was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage against the Jews, and commanding to haste the journey: but it came to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carried violently; so that having a sore fall, all the members of his body were much pained.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	8	And thus he that a little afore thought he might command the waves of the sea, (so proud was he beyond the condition of man) and weigh the high mountains in a balance, was now cast on the ground, and carried in an horselitter, shewing forth unto all the manifest power of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	9	So that the worms rose up out of the body of this wicked man, and whiles he lived in sorrow and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of his smell was noisome to all his army.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	10	And the man, that thought a little afore he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry for his intolerable stink.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	11	Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himself by the scourge of God, his pain increasing every moment.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	12	And when he himself could not abide his own smell, he said these words, It is meet to be subject unto God, and that a man that is mortal should not proudly think of himself if he were God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	13	This wicked person vowed also unto the Lord, who now no more would have mercy upon him, saying thus,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	14	That the holy city (to the which he was going in haste to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a common buryingplace,) he would set at liberty:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	15	And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	16	And the holy temple, which before he had spoiled, he would garnish with goodly gifts, and restore all the holy vessels with many more, and out of his own revenue defray the charges belonging to the sacrifices:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	17	Yea, and that also he would become a Jew himself, and go through all the world that was inhabited, and declare the power of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	18	But for all this his pains would not cease: for the just judgment of God was come upon him: therefore despairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews the letter underwritten, containing the form of a supplication, after this manner:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	19	Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citizens wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	20	If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs be to your contentment, I give very great thanks to God, having my hope in heaven.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	21	As for me, I was weak, or else I would have remembered kindly your honour and good will returning out of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety of all:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	22	Not distrusting mine health, but having great hope to escape this sickness.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	23	But considering that even my father, at what time he led an army into the high countries. appointed a successor,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	24	To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom the state was left, might not be troubled:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	25	Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	26	Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that every man will be still faithful to me and my son.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	27	For I am persuaded that he understanding my mind will favourably and graciously yield to your desires.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	28	Thus the murderer and blasphemer having suffered most grievously, as he entreated other men, so died he a miserable death in a strange country in the mountains.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	9	29	And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	1	Now Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding them, recovered the temple and the city:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	2	But the altars which the heathen had built in the open street, and also the chapels, they pulled down.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	3	And having cleansed the temple they made another altar, and striking stones they took fire out of them, and offered a sacrifice after two years, and set forth incense, and lights, and shewbread.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	4	When that was done, they fell flat down, and besought the Lord that they might come no more into such troubles; but if they sinned any more against him, that he himself would chasten them with mercy, and that they might not be delivered unto the blasphemous and barbarous nations.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	5	Now upon the same day that the strangers profaned the temple, on the very same day it was cleansed again, even the five and twentieth day of the same month, which is Casleu.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	6	And they kept the eight days with gladness, as in the feast of the tabernacles, remembering that not long afore they had held the feast of the tabernacles, when as they wandered in the mountains and dens like beasts.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	7	Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	8	They ordained also by a common statute and decree, That every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	9	And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	10	Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	11	So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lysias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Celosyria and Phenice.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	12	For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choosing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done unto them, endeavoured to continue peace with them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	13	Whereupon being accused of the king's friends before Eupator, and called traitor at every word because he had left Cyprus, that Philometor had committed unto him, and departed to Antiochus Epiphanes, and seeing that he was in no honourable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	14	But when Gorgias was governor of the holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished war continually with the Jews:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	15	And therewithall the Idumeans, having gotten into their hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they went about to nourish war.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	16	Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	17	And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	18	And because certain, who were no less than nine thousand, were fled together into two very strong castles, having all manner of things convenient to sustain the siege,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	19	Maccabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zaccheus also, and them that were with him, who were enough to besiege them, and departed himself unto those places which more needed his help.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	20	Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for money through certain of those that were in the castle, and took seventy thousand drachms, and let some of them escape.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	21	But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	22	So he slew those that were found traitors, and immediately took the two castles.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	23	And having good success with his weapons in all things he took in hand, he slew in the two holds more than twenty thousand.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	24	Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome before, when he had gathered a great multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of Asia not a few, came as though he would take Jewry by force of arms.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	25	But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	26	And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	27	So after the prayer they took their weapons, and went on further from the city: and when they drew near to their enemies, they kept by themselves.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	28	Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; the one part having together with their virtue their refuge also unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory: the other side making their rage leader of their battle
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	29	But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	30	And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered him on every side weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	31	And there were slain of footmen twenty thousand and five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	32	As for Timotheus himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gawra, where Chereas was governor.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	33	But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the fortress courageously four days.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	34	And they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked words.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	35	Nevertheless upon the fifth day early twenty young men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with anger because of the blasphemies, assaulted the wall manly, and with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	36	Others likewise ascending after them, whiles they were busied with them that were within, burnt the towers, and kindling fires burnt the blasphemers alive; and others broke open the gates, and, having received in the rest of the army, took the city,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	37	And killed Timotheus, that was hid in a certain pit, and Chereas his brother, with Apollophanes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	10	38	When this was done, they praised the Lord with psalms and thanksgiving, who had done so great things for Israel, and given them the victory.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	1	Not long after the, Lysias the king's protector and cousin, who also managed the affairs, took sore displeasure for the things that were done.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	2	And when he had gathered about fourscore thousand with all the horsemen, he came against the Jews, thinking to make the city an habitation of the Gentiles,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	3	And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other chapels of the heathen, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	4	Not at all considering the power of God but puffed up with his ten thousands of footmen, and his thousands of horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	5	So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethsura, which was a strong town, but distant from Jerusalem about five furlongs, and he laid sore siege unto it.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	6	Now when they that were with Maccabeus heard that he besieged the holds, they and all the people with lamentation and tears besought the Lord that he would send a good angel to deliver Israel.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	7	Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	8	And as they were at Jerusalem, there appeared before them on horseback one in white clothing, shaking his armour of gold.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	9	Then they praised the merciful God all together, and took heart, insomuch that they were ready not only to fight with men, but with most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls of iron.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	10	Thus they marched forward in their armour, having an helper from heaven: for the Lord was merciful unto them
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	11	And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	12	Many of them also being wounded escaped naked; and Lysias himself fled away shamefully, and so escaped.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	13	Who, as he was a man of understanding, casting with himself what loss he had had, and considering that the Hebrews could not be overcome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent unto them,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	14	And persuaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, and promised that he would persuade the king that he must needs be a friend unto them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	15	Then Maccabeus consented to all that Lysias desired, being careful of the common good; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote unto Lysias concerning the Jews, the king granted it.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	16	For there were letters written unto the Jews from Lysias to this effect: Lysias unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	17	John and Absolom, who were sent from you, delivered me the petition subscribed, and made request for the performance of the contents thereof.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	18	Therefore what things soever were meet to be reported to the king, I have declared them, and he hath granted as much as might be.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	19	And if then ye will keep yourselves loyal to the state, hereafter also will I endeavour to be a means of your good.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	20	But of the particulars I have given order both to these and the other that came from me, to commune with you.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	21	Fare ye well. The hundred and eight and fortieth year, the four and twentieth day of the month Dioscorinthius.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	22	Now the king's letter contained these words: King Antiochus unto his brother Lysias sendeth greeting:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	23	Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one may attend upon his own affairs.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	24	We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	25	Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	26	Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	27	And the letter of the king unto the nation of the Jews was after this manner: King Antiochus sendeth greeting unto the council, and the rest of the Jews:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	28	If ye fare well, we have our desire; we are also in good health.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	29	Menelaus declared unto us, that your desire was to return home, and to follow your own business:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	30	Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	31	And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	32	I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	33	Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	34	The Romans also sent unto them a letter containing these words: Quintus Memmius and Titus Manlius, ambassadors of the Romans, send greeting unto the people of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	35	Whatsoever Lysias the king's cousin hath granted, therewith we also are well pleased.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	36	But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	37	Therefore send some with speed, that we may know what is your mind.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	11	38	Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	1	When these covenants were made, Lysias went unto the king, and the Jews were about their husbandry.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	2	But of the governours of several places, Timotheus, and Apollonius the son of Genneus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and beside them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, would not suffer them to be quiet and live in peace.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	3	The men of Joppa also did such an ungodly deed: they prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though they had meant them no hurt.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	4	Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the city, as being desirous to live in peace, and suspecting nothing: but when they were gone forth into the deep, they drowned no less than two hundred of them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	5	When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his countrymen, he commanded those that were with him to make them ready.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	6	And calling upon God the righteous Judge, he came against those murderers of his brethren, and burnt the haven by night, and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither he slew.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	7	And when the town was shut up, he went backward, as if he would return to root out all them of the city of Joppa.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	8	But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to do in like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	9	He came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire on the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	10	Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	11	Whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas' side by the help of God got the victory; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him otherwise.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	12	Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace: whereupon they shook hands, and so they departed to their tents.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	13	He went also about to make a bridge to a certain strong city, which was fenced about with walls, and inhabited by people of divers countries; and the name of it was Caspis.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	14	But they that were within it put such trust in the strength of the walls and provision of victuals, that they behaved themselves rudely toward them that were with Judas, railing and blaspheming, and uttering such words as were not to be spoken.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	15	Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	16	And took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	17	Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa unto the Jews that are called Tubieni.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	18	But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the places: for before he had dispatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	19	Howbeit Dositheus and Sosipater, who were of Maccabeus' captains, went forth, and slew those that Timotheus had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	20	And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timotheus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	21	Now when Timotheus had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnion: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	22	But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	23	Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	24	Moreover Timotheus himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents, and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, should not be regarded.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	25	So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	26	Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to the temple of Atargatis, and there he slew five and twenty thousand persons.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	27	And after he had put to flight and destroyed them, Judas removed the host toward Ephron, a strong city, wherein Lysias abode, and a great multitude of divers nations, and the strong young men kept the walls, and defended them mightily: wherein also was great provision of engines and darts.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	28	But when Judas and his company had called upon Almighty God, who with his power breaketh the strength of his enemies, they won the city, and slew twenty and five thousand of them that were within,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	29	From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	30	But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	31	They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	32	And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	33	Who came out with three thousand men of foot and four hundred horsemen.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	34	And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	35	At which time Dositheus, one of Bacenor's company, who was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by force; and when he would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	36	Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	37	And with that he began in his own language, and sung psalms with a loud voice, and rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to flight.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	38	So Judas gathered his host, and came into the city of Odollam, And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the sabbath in the same place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	39	And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	40	Now under the coats of every one that was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause wherefore they were slain.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	41	All men therefore praising the Lord, the righteous Judge, who had opened the things that were hid,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	42	Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	43	And when he had made a gathering throughout the company to the sum of two thousand drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to offer a sin offering, doing therein very well and honestly, in that he was mindful of the resurrection:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	44	For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should have risen again, it had been superfluous and vain to pray for the dead.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	12	45	And also in that he perceived that there was great favour laid up for those that died godly, it was an holy and good thought.  Whereupon he made a reconciliation for the dead, that they might be delivered from sin.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	1	In the hundred forty and ninth year it was told Judas, that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great power into Judea,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	2	And with him Lysias his protector, and ruler of his affairs, having either of them a Grecian power of footmen, an hundred and ten thousand, and horsemen five thousand and three hundred, and elephants two and twenty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	3	Menelaus also joined himself with them, and with great dissimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the safeguard of the country, but because he thought to have been made governor.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	4	But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind against this wicked wretch, and Lysias informed the king that this man was the cause of all mischief, so that the king commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to death, as the manner is in that place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	5	Now there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits high, full of ashes, and it had a round instrument which on every side hanged down into the ashes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	6	And whosoever was condemned of sacrilege, or had committed any other grievous crime, there did all men thrust him unto death.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	7	Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not having so much as burial in the earth; and that most justly:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	8	For inasmuch as he had committed many sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	9	Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do far worse to the Jews, than had been done in his father's time.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	10	Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	11	And that he would not suffer the people, that had even now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nations.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	12	So when they had all done this together, and besought the merciful Lord with weeping and fasting, and lying flat upon the ground three days long, Judas, having exhorted them, commanded they should be in a readiness.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	13	And Judas, being apart with the elders, determined, before the king's host should enter into Judea, and get the city, to go forth and try the matter in fight by the help of the Lord.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	14	So when he had committed all to the Creator of the world, and exhorted his soldiers to fight manfully, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	15	And having given the watchword to them that were about him, Victory is of God; with the most valiant and choice young men he went in into the king's tent by night, and slew in the camp about four thousand men, and the chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	16	And at last they filled the camp with fear and tumult, and departed with good success.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	17	This was done in the break of the day, because the protection of the Lord did help him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	18	Now when the king had taken a taste of the manliness of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by policy,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	19	And marched toward Bethsura, which was a strong hold of the Jews: but he was put to flight, failed, and lost of his men:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	20	For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it such things as were necessary.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	21	But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' host, disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore he was sought out, and when they had gotten him, they put him in prison.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	22	The king treated with them in Bethsum the second time, gave his hand, took their's, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	23	Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in Antioch, was desperately bent, confounded, intreated the Jews, submitted himself, and sware to all equal conditions, agreed with them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the temple, and dealt kindly with the place,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	24	And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him principal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	25	Came to Ptolemais: the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed, because they would make their covenants void:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	13	26	Lysias went up to the judgment seat, said as much as could be in defence of the cause, persuaded, pacified, made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it went touching the king's coming and departing.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	1	After three years was Judas informed, that Demetrius the son of Seleucus, having entered by the haven of Tripolis with a great power and navy,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	2	Had taken the country, and killed Antiochus, and Lysias his protector.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	3	Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	4	Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and one and fiftieth year, presenting unto him a crown of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs which were used solemnly in the temple: and so that day he held his peace.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	5	Howbeit having gotten opportunity to further his foolish enterprize, and being called into counsel by Demetrius, and asked how the Jews stood affected, and what they intended, he answered thereunto:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	6	Those of the Jews that he called Assideans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourish war and are seditious, and will not let the rest be in peace.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	7	Therefore I, being deprived of mine ancestors' honour, I mean the high priesthood, am now come hither:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	8	First, verily for the unfeigned care I have of things pertaining to the king; and secondly, even for that I intend the good of mine own countrymen: for all our nation is in no small misery through the unadvised dealing of them aforersaid.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	9	Wherefore, O king, seeing knowest all these things, be careful for the country, and our nation, which is pressed on every side, according to the clemency that thou readily shewest unto all.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	10	For as long as Judas liveth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	11	This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the king's friends, being maliciously set against Judas, did more incense Demetrius.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	12	And forthwith calling Nicanor, who had been master of the elephants, and making him governor over Judea, he sent him forth,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	13	Commanding him to slay Judas, and to scatter them that were with him, and to make Alcimus high priest of the great temple.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	14	Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and calamities ot the Jews to be their welfare.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	15	Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the heathen were up against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him that had established his people for ever, and who always helpeth his portion with manifestation of his presence.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	16	So at the commandment of the captain they removed straightways from thence, and came near unto them at the town of Dessau.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	17	Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle with Nicanor, but was somewhat discomfited through the sudden silence of his enemies.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	18	Nevertheless Nicanor, hearing of the manliness of them that were with Judas, and the courageousness that they had to fight for their country, durst not try the matter by the sword.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	19	Wherefore he sent Posidonius, and Theodotus, and Mattathias, to make peace.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	20	So when they had taken long advisement thereupon, and the captain had made the multitude acquainted therewith, and it appeared that they were all of one mind, they consented to the covenants,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	21	And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	22	Ludas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made a peaceable conference.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	23	Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	24	And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he love the man from his heart
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	25	He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	26	But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt them, and considering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward the state; for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king's successor.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	27	Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	28	When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	29	But because there was no dealing against the king, he watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	30	Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus saw that Nicanor began to be churlish unto him, and that he entreated him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that such sour behaviour came not of good, he gathered together not a few of his men, and withdrew himself from Nicanor.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	31	But the other, knowing that he was notably prevented by Judas' policy, came into the great and holy temple, and commanded the priests, that were offering their usual sacrifices, to deliver him the man.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	32	And when they sware that they could not tell where the man was whom he sought,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	33	He stretched out his right hand toward the temple, and made an oath in this manner: If ye will not deliver me Judas as a prisoner, I will lay this temple of God even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	34	After these words he departed. Then the priests lifted up their hands toward heaven, and besought him that was ever a defender of their nation, saying in this manner;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	35	Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thine habitation should be among us:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	36	Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holiness, keep this house ever undefiled, which lately was cleansed, and stop every unrighteous mouth.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	37	Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	38	For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of Judaism, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all vehemency for the religion of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	39	So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare unto the Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	40	For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	41	Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side fell upon his sword;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	42	Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble birth:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	43	But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	44	But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	45	Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water, and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng; and standing upon a steep rock,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	14	46	When as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	1	But Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company were in the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	2	Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him said, O destroy not so cruelly and barbarously, but give honour to that day, which he, that seeth all things, hath honoured with holiness above all other days.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	3	Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a Mighty one in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be kept.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	4	And when they said, There is in heaven a living Lord, and mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	5	Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	6	So Nicanor in exceeding pride and haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of his victory over Judas and them that were with him.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	7	But Maccabeus had ever sure confidence that the Lord would help him:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	8	Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which should come unto them from the Almighty.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	9	And so comforting them out of the law and the prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles that they won afore, he made them more cheerful.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	10	And when he had stirred up their minds, he gave them their charge, shewing them therewithall the falsehood of the heathen, and the breach of oaths.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	11	Thus he armed every one of them, not so much with defence of shields and spears, as with comfortable and good words: and beside that, he told them a dream worthy to be believed, as if it had been so indeed, which did not a little rejoice them.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	12	And this was his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a virtuous and a good man, reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	13	This done, in like manner there appeared a man with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a wonderful and excellent majesty.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	14	Then Onias answered, saying, This is a lover of the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for the holy city, to wit, Jeremias the prophet of God.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	15	Whereupon Jeremias holding forth his right hand gave to Judas a sword of gold, and in giving it spake thus,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	16	Take this holy sword, a gift from God, with the which thou shalt wound the adversaries.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	17	Thus being well comforted by the words of Judas, which were very good, and able to stir them up to valour, and to encourage the hearts of the young men, they determined not to pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them, and manfully to try the matter by conflict, because the city and the sanctuary and the temple were in danger.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	18	For the care that they took for their wives, and their children, their brethren, and folks, was in least account with them: but the greatest and principal fear was for the holy temple.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	19	Also they that were in the city took not the least care, being troubled for the conflict abroad.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	20	And now, when as all looked what should be the trial, and the enemies were already come near, and the army was set in array, and the beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set in wings,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	21	Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	22	Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	23	Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them;
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	24	And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	25	Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	26	But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	27	So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	28	Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	29	Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	30	And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor's head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	31	So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	32	And shewed them vile Nicanor's head, and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	33	And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	34	So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	35	He hanged also Nicanor's head upon the tower, an evident and manifest sign unto all of the help of the Lord.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	36	And they ordained all with a common decree in no case to let that day pass without solemnity, but to celebrate the thirtieth day of the twelfth month, which in the Syrian tongue is called Adar, the day before Mardocheus' day.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	37	Thus went it with Nicanor: and from that time forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And here will I make an end.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	38	And if I have done well, and as is fitting the story, it is that which I desired: but if slenderly and meanly, it is that which I could attain unto.
2 Maccabees	2Mac	77	15	39	For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone; and as wine mingled with water is pleasant, and delighteth the taste: even so speech finely framed delighteth the ears of them that read the story.  And here shall be an end.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	1	And Josias held the feast of the passover in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered the passover the fourteenth day of the first month;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	2	Having set the priests according to their daily courses, being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	3	And he spake unto the Levites, the holy ministers of Israel, that they should hallow themselves unto the Lord, to set the holy ark of the Lord in the house that king Solomon the son of David had built:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	4	And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark upon your shoulders: now therefore serve the Lord your God, and minister unto his people Israel, and prepare you after your families and kindreds,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	5	According as David the king of Israel prescribed, and according to the magnificence of Solomon his son: and standing in the temple according to the several dignity of the families of you the Levites, who minister in the presence of your brethren the children of Israel,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	6	Offer the passover in order, and make ready the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the passover according to the commandment of the Lord, which was given unto Moses.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	7	And unto the people that was found there Josias gave thirty thousand lambs and kids, and three thousand calves: these things were given of the king's allowance, according as he promised, to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	8	And Helkias, Zacharias, and Syelus, the governors of the temple, gave to the priests for the passover two thousand and six hundred sheep, and three hundred calves.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	9	And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over thousands, gave to the Levites for the passover five thousand sheep, and seven hundred calves.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	10	And when these things were done, the priests and Levites, having the unleavened bread, stood in very comely order according to the kindreds,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	11	And according to the several dignities of the fathers, before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in the book of Moses: and thus did they in the morning.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	12	And they roasted the passover with fire, as appertaineth: as for the sacrifices, they sod them in brass pots and pans with a good savour,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	13	And set them before all the people: and afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	14	For the priests offered the fat until night: and the Levites prepared for themselves, and the priests their brethren, the sons of Aaron.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	15	The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, were in their order, according to the appointment of David, to wit, Asaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was of the king's retinue.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	16	Moreover the porters were at every gate; it was not lawful for any to go from his ordinary service: for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	17	Thus were the things that belonged to the sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, that they might hold  the passover,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	18	And offer sacrifices upon the altar of the Lord, according to the commandment of king Josias.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	19	So the children of Israel which were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	20	And such a passover was not kept in Israel since the time of the prophet Samuel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	21	Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Levites, and the Jews, held with all Israel that were found dwelling at Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	22	In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josias was this passover kept.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	23	And the works or Josias were upright before his Lord with an heart full of godliness.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	24	As for the things that came to pass in his time, they were written in former times, concerning those that sinned, and did wickedly against the Lord above all people and kingdoms, and how they grieved him exceedingly, so that the words of the Lord rose up against Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	25	Now after all these acts of Josias it came to pass, that Pharaoh the king of Egypt came to raise war at Carchamis upon Euphrates: and Josias went out against him.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	26	But the king of Egypt sent to him, saying, What have I to do with thee, O king of Judea?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	27	I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	28	Howbeit Josias did not turn back his chariot from him, but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy spoken by the mouth of the Lord:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	29	But joined battle with him in the plain of Magiddo, and the princes came against king Josias.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	30	Then said the king unto his servants, Carry me away out of the battle; for I am very weak. And immediately his servants took him away out of the battle.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	31	Then gat he up upon his second chariot; and being brought back to Jerusalem died, and was buried in his father's sepulchre.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	32	And in all Jewry they mourned for Josias, yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, and the chief men with the women made lamentation for him unto this day: and this was given out for an ordinance to be done continually in all the nation of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	33	These things are written in the book of the stories of the kings of Judah, and every one of the acts that Josias did, and his glory, and his understanding in the law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, and the things now recited, are reported in the book of the kings of Israel and Judea.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	34	And the people took Joachaz the son of Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his father, when he was twenty and three years old.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	35	And he reigned in Judea and in Jerusalem three months: and then the king of Egypt deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	36	And he set a tax upon the land of an hundred talents of silver and one talent of gold.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	37	The king of Egypt also made king Joacim his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	38	And he bound Joacim and the nobles: but Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	39	Five and twenty years old was Joacim when he was made king in the land of Judea and Jerusalem; and he did evil before the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	40	Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brass, and carried him into Babylon.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	41	Nabuchodonosor also took of the holy vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and set them in his own temple at Babylon.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	42	But those things that are recorded of him, and of his uncleaness and impiety, are written in the chronicles of the kings.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	43	And Joacim his son reigned in his stead: he was made king being eighteen years old;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	44	And reigned but three months and ten days in Jerusalem; and did evil before the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	45	So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and caused him to be brought into Babylon with the holy vessels of the Lord;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	46	And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years old; and he reigned eleven years:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	47	And he did evil also in the sight of the Lord, and cared not for the words that were spoken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	48	And after that king Nabuchodonosor had made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he forswore himself, and rebelled; and hardening his neck, his heart, he transgressed the laws of the Lord God of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	49	The governors also of the people and of the priests did many things against the laws, and passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	50	Nevertheless the God of their fathers sent by his messenger to call them back, because he spared them and his tabernacle also.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	51	But they had his messengers in derision; and, look, when the Lord spake unto them, they made a sport of his prophets:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	52	So far forth, that he, being wroth with his people for their great ungodliness, commanded the kings of the Chaldees to come up against them;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	53	Who slew their young men with the sword, yea, even within the compass of their holy temple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among them; for he delivered all into their hands.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	54	And they took all the holy vessels of the Lord, both great and small, with the vessels of the ark of God, and the king's treasures, and carried them away into Babylon.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	55	As for the house of the Lord, they burnt it, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem, and set fire upon her towers:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	56	And as for her glorious things, they never ceased till they had consumed and brought them all to nought: and the people that were not slain with the sword he carried unto Babylon:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	57	Who became servants to him and his children, till the Persians reigned, to fulfil the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremy:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	1	58	Until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths, the whole time of her desolation shall she rest, until the full term of seventy years.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	1	In the first year of Cyrus king of the Persians, that the word of the Lord might be accomplished, that he had promised by the mouth of Jeremy;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	2	The Lord raised up the spirit of Cyrus the king of the Persians, and he made proclamation through all his kingdom, and also by writing,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	3	Saying, Thus saith Cyrus king of the Persians; The Lord of Israel, the most high Lord, hath made me king of the whole world,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	4	And commanded me to build him an house at Jerusalem in Jewry.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	5	If therefore there be any of you that are of his people, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord of Israel: for he is the Lord that dwelleth in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	6	Whosoever then dwell in the places about, let them help him, those, I say, that are his neighbours, with gold, and with silver,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	7	With gifts, with horses, and with cattle, and other things, which have been set forth by vow, for the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	8	Then the chief of the families of Judea and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up; the priests also, and the Levites, and all they whose mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build an house for the Lord at Jerusalem,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	9	And they that dwelt round about them, and helped them in all things with silver and gold, with horses and cattle, and with very many free gifts of a great number whose minds were stirred up thereto.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	10	King Cyrus also brought forth the holy vessels, which Nabuchodonosor had carried away from Jerusalem, and had set up in his temple of idols.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	11	Now when Cyrus king of the Persians had brought them forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treasurer:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	12	And by him they were delivered to Sanabassar the governor of Judea.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	13	And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	14	So all the vessels of gold and of silver, which were carried away, were five thousand four hundred threescore and nine.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	15	These were brought back by Sanabassar, together with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	16	But in the time of Artexerxes king of the Persians Belemus, and Mithridates, and Tabellius, and Rathumus, and Beeltethmus, and Semellius the secretary, with others that were in commission with them, dwelling in Samaria and other places, wrote unto him against them that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these letters following;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	17	To king Artexerxes our lord, Thy servants, Rathumus the storywriter, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest of their council, and the judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	18	Be it now known to the lord king, that the Jews that are up from you to us, being come into Jerusalem, that rebellious and wicked city, do build the marketplaces, and repair the walls of it and do lay the foundation of the temple.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	19	Now if this city and the walls thereof be made up again, they will not only refuse to give tribute, but also rebel against kings.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	20	And forasmuch as the things pertaining to the temple are now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect such a matter,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	21	But to speak unto our lord the king, to the intent that, if it be thy pleasure it may be sought out in the books of thy fathers:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	22	And thou shalt find in the chronicles what is written concerning these things, and shalt understand that that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	23	And that the Jews were rebellious, and raised always wars therein; for the which cause even this city was made desolate.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	24	Wherefore now we do declare unto thee, O lord the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls thereof set up anew, thou shalt from henceforth have no passage into Celosyria and Phenice.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	25	Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the storywriter, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the scribe, and to the rest that were in commission, and dwellers in Samaria and Syria and Phenice, after this manner;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	26	I have read the epistle which ye have sent unto me: therefore I commanded to make diligent search, and it hath been found that that city was from the beginning practising against kings;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	27	And the men therein were given to rebellion and war: and that mighty kings and fierce were in Jerusalem, who reigned and exacted tributes in Celosyria and Phenice.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	28	Now therefore I have commanded to hinder those men from building the city, and heed to be taken that there be no more done in it;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	29	And that those wicked workers proceed no further to the annoyance of kings,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	2	30	Then king Artexerxes his letters being read, Rathumus, and Semellius the scribe, and the rest that were in commission with them, removing in haste toward Jerusalem with a troop of horsemen and a multitude of people in battle array, began to hinder the builders; and the building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	1	Now when Darius reigned, he made a great feast unto all his subjects, and unto all his household, and unto all the princes of Media and Persia,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	2	And to all the governors and captains and lieutenants that were under him, from India unto Ethiopia, of an hundred twenty and seven provinces.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	3	And when they had eaten and drunken, and being satisfied were gone home, then Darius the king went into his bedchamber, and slept, and soon after awaked.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	4	Then three young men, that were of the guard that kept the king's body, spake one to another;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	5	Let every one of us speak a sentence: he that shall overcome, and whose sentence shall seem wiser than the others, unto him shall the king Darius give great gifts, and great things in token of victory:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	6	As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	7	And he shall sit next to Darius because of his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	8	And then every one wrote his sentence, sealed it, and laid it under king Darius his pillow;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	9	And said that, when the king is risen, some will give him the writings; and of whose side the king and the three princes of Persia shall judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall the victory be given, as was appointed.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	10	The first wrote, Wine is the strongest.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	11	The second wrote, The king is strongest.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	12	The third wrote, Women are strongest: but above all things Truth beareth away the victory.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	13	Now when the king was risen up, they took their writings, and delivered them unto him, and so he read them:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	14	And sending forth he called all the princes of Persia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief officers;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	15	And sat him down in the royal seat of judgment; and the writings were read before them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	16	And he said, Call the young men, and they shall declare their own sentences. So they were called, and came in.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	17	And he said unto them, Declare unto us your mind concerning the writings. Then began the first, who had spoken of the strength of wine;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	18	And he said thus, O ye men, how exceeding strong is wine! it causeth all men to err that drink it:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	19	It maketh the mind of the king and of the fatherless child to be all one; of the bondman and of the freeman, of the poor man and of the rich:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	20	It turneth also every thought into jollity and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither sorrow nor debt:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	21	And it maketh every heart rich, so that a man remembereth neither king nor governor; and it maketh to speak all things by talents:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	22	And when they are in their cups, they forget their love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw out swords:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	23	But when they are from the wine, they remember not what they have done.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	3	24	O ye men, is not wine the strongest, that enforceth to do thus? And when he had so spoken, he held his peace.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	1	Then the second, that had spoken of the strength of the king, began to say,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	2	O ye men, do not men excel in strength that bear rule over sea and land and all things in them?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	3	But yet the king is more mighty: for he is lord of all these things, and hath dominion over them; and whatsoever he commandeth them they do.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	4	If he bid them make war the one against the other, they do it: if he send them out against the enemies, they go, and break down mountains walls and towers.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	5	They slay and are slain, and transgress not the king's commandment: if they get the victory, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil, as all things else.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	6	Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with wars, but use husbundry, when they have reaped again that which they had sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto the king.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	7	And yet he is but one man: if he command to kill, they kill; if he command to spare, they spare;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	8	If he command to smite, they smite; if he command to make desolate, they make desolate; if he command to build, they build;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	9	If he command to cut down, they cut down; if he command to plant, they plant.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	10	So all his people and his armies obey him: furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and taketh his rest:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	11	And these keep watch round about him, neither may any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	12	O ye men, how should not the king be mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed? And he held his tongue.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	13	Then the third, who had spoken of women, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began to speak.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	14	O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multitude of men, neither is it wine, that excelleth; who is it then that ruleth them, or hath the lordship over them? are they not women?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	15	Women have borne the king and all the people that bear rule by sea and land.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	16	Even of them came they: and they nourished them up that planted the vineyards, from whence the wine cometh.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	17	These also make garments for men; these bring glory unto men; and without women cannot men be.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	18	Yea, and if men have gathered together gold and silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not love a woman which is comely in favour and beauty?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	19	And letting all those things go, do they not gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes fast on her; and have not all men more desire unto her than unto silver or gold, or any goodly thing whatsoever?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	20	A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	21	He sticketh not to spend his life with his wife. and remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	22	By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	23	Yea, a man taketh his sword, and goeth his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea and upon rivers;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	24	And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the darkness; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and robbed, he bringeth it to his love.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	25	Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than father or mother.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	26	Yea, many there be that have run out of their wits for women, and become servants for their sakes.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	27	Many also have perished, have erred, and sinned, for women.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	28	And now do ye not believe me? is not the king great in his power? do not all regions fear to touch him?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	29	Yet did I see him and Apame the king's concubine, the daughter of the admirable Bartacus, sitting at the right hand of the king,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	30	And taking the crown from the king's head, and setting it upon her own head; she also struck the king with her left hand.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	31	And yet for all this the king gaped and gazed upon her with open mouth: if she laughed upon him, he laughed also: but if she took any displeasure at him, the king was fain to flatter, that she might be reconciled to him again.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	32	O ye men, how can it be but women should be strong, seeing they do thus?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	33	Then the king and the princes looked one upon another: so he began to speak of the truth.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	34	O ye men, are not women strong? great is the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in his course, for he compasseth the heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own place in one day.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	35	Is he not great that maketh these things? therefore great is the truth, and stronger than all things.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	36	All the earth crieth upon the truth, and the heaven blesseth it: all works shake and tremble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	37	Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and such are all their wicked works; and there is no truth in them; in their unrighteousness also they shall perish.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	38	As for the truth, it endureth, and is alwaYs strong; it liveth and conquereth for evermore.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	39	With her there is no accepting of persons or rewards; but she doeth the things that are just, and refraineth from all unjust and wicked things; and all men do well like of her works.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	40	Neither in her judgment is any unrighteousness; and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and majesty, of all ages. Blessed be the God of truth.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	41	And with that he held his peace. And all the people then shouted, and said, Great is Truth, and mighty above all things.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	42	Then said the king unto him, Ask what thou wilt more than is appointed in the writing, and we will give it thee, because thou art found wisest; and thou shalt sit next me, and shalt be called my cousin.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	43	Then said he unto the king, Remember thy vow, which thou hast vowed to build Jerusalem, in the day when thou camest to thy kingdom,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	44	And to send away all the vessels that were taken away out of Jerusalem, which Cyrus set apart, when he vowed to destroy Babylon, and to send them again thither.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	45	Thou also hast vowed to build up the temple, which the Edomites burned when Judea was made desolate by the Chaldees.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	46	And now, O lord the king, this is that which I require, and which I desire of thee, and this is the princely liberality proceeding from thyself: I desire therefore that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof with thine own mouth thou hast vowed to the King of heaven.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	47	Then Darius the king stood up, and kissed him, and wrote letters for him unto all the treasurers and lieutenants and captains and governors, that they should safely convey on their way both him, and all those that go up with him to build Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	48	He wrote letters also unto the lieutenants that were in Celosyria and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, that they should bring cedar wood from Libanus unto Jerusalem, and that they should build the city with him.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	49	Moreover he wrote for all the Jews that went out of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor treasurer, should forcibly enter into their doors;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	50	And that all the country which they hold should be free without tribute; and that the Edomites should give over the villages of the Jews which then they held:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	51	Yea, that there should be yearly given twenty talents to the building of the temple, until the time that it were built;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	52	And other ten talents yearly, to maintain the burnt offerings upon the altar every day, as they had a commandment to offer seventeen:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	53	And that all they that went from Babylon to build the city should have free liberty, as well they as their posterity, and all the priests that went away.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	54	He wrote also concerning. the charges, and the priests' vestments wherein they minister;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	55	And likewise for the charges of the Levites, to be given them until the day that the house were finished, and Jerusalem builded up.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	56	And he commanded to give to all that kept the city pensions and wages.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	57	He sent away also all the vessels from Babylon, that Cyrus had set apart; and all that Cyrus had given in commandment, the same charged he also to be done, and sent unto Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	58	Now when this young man was gone forth, he lifted up his face to heaven toward Jerusalem, and praised the King of heaven,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	59	And said, From thee cometh victory, from thee cometh wisdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy servant.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	60	Blessed art thou, who hast given me wisdom: for to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	61	And so he took the letters, and went out, and came unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	62	And they praised the God of their fathers, because he had given them freedom and liberty
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	4	63	To go up, and to build Jerusalem, and the temple which is called by his name: and they feasted with instruments of musick and gladness seven days.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	1	After this were the principal men of the families chosen according to their tribes, to go up with their wives and sons and daughters, with their menservants and maidservants, and their cattle.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	2	And Darius sent with them a thousand horsemen, till they had brought them back to Jerusalem safely, and with musical [instruments] tabrets and flutes.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	3	And all their brethren played, and he made them go up together with them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	4	And these are the names of the men which went up, according to their families among their tribes, after their several heads.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	5	The priests, the sons of Phinees the son of Aaron: Jesus the son of Josedec, the son of Saraias, and Joacim the son of Zorobabel, the son of Salathiel, of the house of David, out of the kindred of Phares, of the tribe of Judah;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	6	Who spake wise sentences before Darius the king of Persia in the second year of his reign, in the month Nisan, which is the first month.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	7	And these are they of Jewry that came up from the captivity, where they dwelt as strangers, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon had carried away unto Babylon.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	8	And they returned unto Jerusalem, and to the other parts of Jewry, every man to his own city, who came with Zorobabel, with Jesus, Nehemias, and Zacharias, and Reesaias, Enenius, Mardocheus. Beelsarus, Aspharasus, Reelius, Roimus, and Baana, their guides.

1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	35	All the ministers of the temple, and the sons of the servants of Solomon, were three hundred seventy and two.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	36	These came up from Thermeleth and Thelersas, Charaathalar leading them, and Aalar;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	37	Neither could they shew their families, nor their stock, how they were of Israel: the sons of Ladan, the son of Ban, the sons of Necodan, six hundred fifty and two.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	38	And of the priests that usurped the office of the priesthood, and were not found: the sons of Obdia, the sons of Accoz, the sons of Addus, who married Augia one of the daughters of Barzelus, and was named after his name.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	39	And when the description of the kindred of these men was sought in the register, and was not found, they were removed from executing the office of the priesthood:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	40	For unto them said Nehemias and Atharias, that they should not be partakers of the holy things, till there arose up an high priest clothed with doctrine and truth.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	41	So of Israel, from them of twelve years old and upward, they were all in number forty thousand, beside menservants and womenservants two thousand three hundred and sixty.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	42	Their menservants and handmaids were seven thousand three hundred forty and seven: the singing men and singing women, two hundred forty and five:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	43	Four hundred thirty and five camels, seven thousand thirty and six horses, two hundred forty and five mules, five thousand five hundred twenty and five beasts used to the yoke.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	44	And certain of the chief of their families, when they came to the temple of God that is in Jerusalem, vowed to set up the house again in his own place according to their ability,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	45	And to give into the holy treasury of the works a thousand pounds of gold, five thousand of silver, and an hundred priestly vestments.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	46	And so dwelt the priests and the Levites and the people in Jerusalem, and in the country, the singers also and the porters; and all Israel in their villages.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	47	But when the seventh month was at hand, and when the children of Israel were every man in his own place, they came all together with one consent into the open place of the first gate which is toward the east.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	48	Then stood up Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren the priests and Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God of Israel,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	49	To offer burnt sacrifices upon it, according as it is expressly commanded in the book of Moses the man of God.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	50	And there were gathered unto them out of the other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon his own place, because all the nations of the land were at enmity with them, and oppressed them; and they offered sacrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to the Lord both morning and evening.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	51	Also they held the feast of tabernacles, as it is commanded in the law, and offered sacrifices daily, as was meet:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	52	And after that, the continual oblations, and the sacrifice of the sabbaths, and of the new moons, and of all holy feasts.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	53	And all they that had made any vow to God began to offer sacrifices to God from the first day of the seventh month, although the temple of the Lord was not yet built.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	54	And they gave unto the masons and carpenters money, meat, and drink, with cheerfulness.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	55	Unto them of Zidon also and Tyre they gave carrs, that they should bring cedar trees from Libanus, which should be brought by floats to the haven of Joppa, according as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the Persians.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	56	And in the second year and second month after his coming to the temple of God at Jerusalem began Zorobabel the son of Salathiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and the priests, and the Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerusalem out of the captivity:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	57	And they laid the foundation of the house of God in the first day of the second month, in the second year after they were come to Jewry and Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	58	And they appointed the Levites from twenty years old over the works of the Lord. Then stood up Jesus, and his sons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, and the sons of Madiabun, with the sons of Joda the son of Eliadun, with their sons and brethren, all Levites, with one accord setters forward of the business, labouring to advance the works in the house of God. So the workmen built the temple of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	59	And the priests stood arrayed in their vestments with musical instruments and trumpets; and the Levites the sons of Asaph had cymbals,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	60	Singing songs of thanksgiving, and praising the Lord, according as David the king of Israel had ordained.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	61	And they sung with loud voices songs to the praise of the Lord, because his mercy and glory is for ever in all Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	62	And all the people sounded trumpets, and shouted with a loud voice, singing songs of thanksgiving unto the Lord for the rearing up of the house of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	63	Also of the priests and Levites, and of the chief of their families, the ancients who had seen the former house came to the building of this with weeping and great crying.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	64	But many with trumpets and joy shouted with loud voice,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	65	Insomuch that the trumpets might not be heard for the weeping of the people: yet the multitude sounded marvellously, so that it was heard afar off.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	66	Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what that noise of trumpets should mean.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	67	And they perceived that they that were of the captivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	68	So they went to Zorobabel and Jesus, and to the chief of the families, and said unto them, We will build together with you.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	69	For we likewise, as ye, do obey your Lord, and do sacrifice unto him from the days of Azbazareth the king of the Assyrians, who brought us hither.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	70	Then Zorobabel and Jesus and the chief of the families of Israel said unto them, It is not for us and you to build together an house unto the Lord our God.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	71	We ourselves alone will build unto the Lord of Israel, according as Cyrus the king of the Persians hath commanded us.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	72	But the heathen of the land lying heavy upon the inhabitants of Judea, and holding them strait, hindered their building;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	5	73	And by their secret plots, and popular persuasions and commotions, they hindered the finishing of the building all the time that king Cyrus lived: so they were hindered from building for the space of two years, until the reign of Darius.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	1	Now in the second year of the reign of Darius Aggeus and Zacharias the son of Addo, the prophets, prophesied unto the Jews in Jewry and Jerusalem in the name of the Lord God of Israel, which was upon them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	2	Then stood up Zorobabel the son of Salatiel, and Jesus the son of Josedec, and began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, the prophets of the Lord being with them, and helping them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	3	At the same time came unto them Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, with Sathrabuzanes and his companions, and said unto them,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	4	By whose appointment do ye build this house and this roof, and perform all the other things? and who are the workmen that perform these things?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	5	Nevertheless the elders of the Jews obtained favour, because the Lord had visited the captivity;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	6	And they were not hindered from building, until such time as signification was given unto Darius concerning them, and an answer received.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	7	The copy of the letters which Sisinnes, governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions, rulers in Syria and Phenice, wrote and sent unto Darius; To king Darius, greeting:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	8	Let all things be known unto our lord the king, that being come into the country of Judea, and entered into the city of Jerusalem we found in the city of Jerusalem the ancients of the Jews that were of the captivity
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	9	Building an house unto the Lord, great and new, of hewn and costly stones, and the timber already laid upon the walls.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	10	And those works are done with great speed, and the work goeth on prosperously in their hands, and with all glory and diligence is it made.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	11	Then asked we these elders, saying, By whose commandment build ye this house, and lay the foundations of these works?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	12	Therefore to the intent that we might give knowledge unto thee by writing, we demanded of them who were the chief doers, and we required of them the names in writing of their principal men.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	13	So they gave us this answer, We are the servants of the Lord which made heaven and earth.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	14	And as for this house, it was builded many years ago by a king of Israel great and strong, and was finished.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	15	But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, and sinned against the Lord of Israel which is in heaven, he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, of the Chaldees;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	16	Who pulled down the house, and burned it, and carried away the people captives unto Babylon.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	17	But in the first year that king Cyrus reigned over the country of Babylon Cyrus the king wrote to build up this house.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	18	And the holy vessels of gold and of silver, that Nabuchodonosor had carried away out of the house at Jerusalem, and had set them in his own temple those Cyrus the king brought forth again out of the temple at Babylon, and they were delivered to Zorobabel and to Sanabassarus the ruler,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	19	With commandment that he should carry away the same vessels, and put them in the temple at Jerusalem; and that the temple of the Lord should be built in his place.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	20	Then the same Sanabassarus, being come hither, laid the foundations of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem; and from that time to this being still a building, it is not yet fully ended.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	21	Now therefore, if it seem good unto the king, let search be made among the records of king Cyrus:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	22	And if it be found that the building of the house of the Lord at Jerusalem hath been done with the consent of king Cyrus, and if our lord the king be so minded, let him signify unto us thereof.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	23	Then commanded king Darius to seek among the records at Babylon: and so at Ecbatane the palace, which is in the country of Media, there was found a roll wherein these things were recorded.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	24	In the first year of the reign of Cyrus king Cyrus commanded that the house of the Lord at Jerusalem should be built again, where they do sacrifice with continual fire:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	25	Whose height shall be sixty cubits and the breadth sixty cubits, with three rows of hewn stones, and one row of new wood of that country; and the expences thereof to be given out of the house of king Cyrus:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	26	And that the holy vessels of the house of the Lord, both of gold and silver, that Nabuchodonosor took out of the house at Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, should be restored to the house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place where they were before.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	27	And also he commanded that Sisinnes the governor of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, and their companions, and those which were appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be careful not to meddle with the place, but suffer Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build the house of the Lord in that place.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	28	I have commanded also to have it built up whole again; and that they look diligently to help those that be of the captivity of the Jews, till the house of the Lord be finished:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	29	And out of the tribute of Celosyria and Phenice a portion carefully to be given these men for the sacrifices of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bullocks, and rams, and lambs;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	30	And also corn, salt, wine, and oil, and that continually every year without further question, according as the priests that be in Jerusalem shall signify to be daily spent:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	31	That offerings may be made to the most high God for the king and for his children, and that they may pray for their lives.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	32	And he commanded that whosoever should transgress, yea, or make light of any thing afore spoken or written, out of his own house should a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and all his goods seized for the king.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	33	The Lord therefore, whose name is there called upon, utterly destroy every king and nation, that stretcheth out his hand to hinder or endamage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	6	34	I Darius the king have ordained that according unto these things it be done with diligence.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	1	Then Sisinnes the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their companions following the commandments of king Darius,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	2	Did very carefully oversee the holy works, assisting the ancients of the Jews and governors of the temple.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	3	And so the holy works prospered, when Aggeus and Zacharias the prophets prophesied.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	4	And they finished these things by the commandment of the Lord God of Israel, and with the consent of Cyrus, Darius, and Artexerxes, kings of Persia.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	5	And thus was the holy house finished in the three and twentieth day of the month Adar, in the sixth year of Darius king of the Persians
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	6	And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and others that were of the captivity, that were added unto them, did according to the things written in the book of Moses.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	7	And to the dedication of the temple of the Lord they offered an hundred bullocks two hundred rams, four hundred lambs;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	8	And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the number of the chief of the tribes of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	9	The priests also and the Levites stood arrayed in their vestments, according to their kindreds, in the service of the Lord God of Israel, according to the book of Moses: and the porters at every gate.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	10	And the children of Israel that were of the captivity held the passover the fourteenth day of the first month, after that the priests and the Levites were sanctified.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	11	They that were of the captivity were not all sanctified together: but the Levites were all sanctified together.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	12	And so they offered the passover for all them of the captivity, and for their brethren the priests, and for themselves.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	13	And the children of Israel that came out of the captivity did eat, even all they that had separated themselves from the abominations of the people of the land, and sought the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	14	And they kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, making merry before the Lord,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	7	15	For that he had turned the counsel of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the works of the Lord God of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	1	And after these things, when Artexerxes the king of the Persians reigned came Esdras the son of Saraias, the son of Ezerias, the son of Helchiah, the son of Salum,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	2	The son of Sadduc, the son of Achitob, the son of Amarias, the son of Ezias, the son of Meremoth, the son of Zaraias, the son of Savias, the son of Boccas, the son of Abisum, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	3	This Esdras went up from Babylon, as a scribe, being very ready in the law of Moses, that was given by the God of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	4	And the king did him honour: for he found grace in his sight in all his requests.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	5	There went up with him also certain of the children of Israel, of the priest of the Levites, of the holy singers, porters, and ministers of the temple, unto Jerusalem,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	6	In the seventh year of the reign of Artexerxes, in the fifth month, this was the king's seventh year; for they went from Babylon in the first day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem, according to the prosperous journey which the Lord gave them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	7	For Esdras had very great skill, so that he omitted nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but taught all Israel the ordinances and judgments.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	8	Now the copy of the commission, which was written from Artexerxes the king, and came to Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Lord, is this that followeth;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	9	King Artexerxes unto Esdras the priest and reader of the law of the Lord sendeth greeting:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	10	Having determined to deal graciously, I have given order, that such of the nation of the Jews, and of the priests and Levites being within our realm, as are willing and desirous should go with thee unto Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	11	As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let them depart with thee, as it hath seemed good both to me and my seven friends the counsellors;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	12	That they may look unto the affairs of Judea and Jerusalem, agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	13	And carry the gifts unto the Lord of Israel to Jerusalem, which I and my friends have vowed, and all the gold and silver that in the country of Babylon can be found, to the Lord in Jerusalem,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	14	With that also which is given of the people for the temple of the Lord their God at Jerusalem: and that silver and gold may be collected for bullocks, rams, and lambs, and things thereunto appertaining;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	15	To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	16	And whatsoever thou and thy brethren will do with the silver and gold, that do, according to the will of thy God.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	17	And the holy vessels of the Lord, which are given thee for the use of the temple of thy God, which is in Jerusalem, thou shalt set before thy God in Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	18	And whatsoever thing else thou shalt remember for the use of the temple of thy God, thou shalt give it out of the king's treasury.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	19	And I king Artexerxes have also commanded the keepers of the treasures in Syria and Phenice, that whatsoever Esdras the priest and the reader of the law of the most high God shall send for, they should give it him with speed,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	20	To the sum of an hundred talents of silver, likewise also of wheat even to an hundred cors, and an hundred pieces of wine, and other things in abundance.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	21	Let all things be performed after the law of God diligently unto the most high God, that wrath come not upon the kingdom of the king and his sons.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	22	I command you also, that ye require no tax, nor any other imposition, of any of the priests, or Levites, or holy singers, or porters, or ministers of the temple, or of any that have doings in this temple, and that no man have authority to impose any thing upon them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	23	And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice all those that know the law of thy God; and those that know it not thou shalt teach.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	24	And whosoever shall transgress the law of thy God, and of the king, shall be punished diligently, whether it be by death, or other punishment, by penalty of money, or by imprisonment.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	25	Then said Esdras the scribe, Blessed be the only Lord God of my fathers, who hath put these things into the heart of the king, to glorify his house that is in Jerusalem:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	26	And hath honoured me in the sight of the king, and his counsellors, and all his friends and nobles.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	27	Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the Lord my God, and gathered together men of Israel to go up with me.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	28	And these are the chief according to their families and several dignities, that went up with me from Babylon in the reign of king Artexerxes:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	29	Of the sons of Phinees, Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar, Gamael: of the sons of David, Lettus the son of Sechenias:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	30	Of the sons of Pharez, Zacharias; and with him were counted an hundred and fifty men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	31	Of the sons of Pahath Moab, Eliaonias, the son of Zaraias, and with him two hundred men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	32	Of the sons of Zathoe, Sechenias the son of Jezelus, and with him three hundred men: of the sons of Adin, Obeth the son of Jonathan, and with him two hundred and fifty men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	33	Of the sons of Elam, Josias son of Gotholias, and with him seventy men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	34	Of the sons of Saphatias, Zaraias son of Michael, and with him threescore and ten men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	35	Of the sons of Joab, Abadias son of Jezelus, and with him two hundred and twelve men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	36	Of the sons of Banid, Assalimoth son of Josaphias, and with him an hundred and threescore men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	37	Of the sons of Babi, Zacharias son of Bebai, and with him twenty and eight men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	38	Of the sons of Astath, Johannes son of Acatan, and with him an hundred and ten men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	39	Of the sons of Adonikam the last, and these are the names of them, Eliphalet, Jewel, and Samaias, and with them seventy men:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	40	Of the sons of Bago, Uthi the son of Istalcurus, and with him seventy men.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	41	And these I gathered together to the river called Theras, where we pitched our tents three days: and then I surveyed them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	42	But when I had found there none of the priests and Levites,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	43	Then sent I unto Eleazar, and Iduel, and Masman,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	44	And Alnathan, and Mamaias, and Joribas, and Nathan, Eunatan, Zacharias, and Mosollamon, principal men and learned.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	45	And I bade them that they should go unto Saddeus the captain, who was in the place of the treasury:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	46	And commanded them that they should speak unto Daddeus, and to his brethren, and to the treasurers in that place, to send us such men as might execute the priests' office in the house of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	47	And by the mighty hand of our Lord they brought unto us skilful men of the sons of Moli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, Asebebia, and his sons, and his brethren, who were eighteen.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	48	And Asebia, and Annus, and Osaias his brother, of the sons of Channuneus, and their sons, were twenty men.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	49	And of the servants of the temple whom David had ordained, and the principal men for the service of the Levites to wit, the servants of the temple two hundred and twenty, the catalogue of whose names were shewed.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	50	And there I vowed a fast unto the young men before our Lord, to desire of him a prosperous journey both for us and them that were with us, for our children, and for the cattle:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	51	For I was ashamed to ask the king footmen, and horsemen, and conduct for safeguard against our adversaries.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	52	For we had said unto the king, that the power of the Lord our God should be with them that seek him, to support them in all ways.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	53	And again we besought our Lord as touching these things, and found him favourable unto us.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	54	Then I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Esebrias, and Assanias, and ten men of their brethren with them:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	55	And I weighed them the gold, and the silver, and the holy vessels of the house of our Lord, which the king, and his council, and the princes, and all Israel, had given.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	56	And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto them six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of gold,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	57	And twenty golden vessels, and twelve vessels of brass, even of fine brass, glittering like gold.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	58	And I said unto them, Both ye are holy unto the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the gold and the silver is a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	59	Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to the chief of the priests and Levites, and to the principal men of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of our God.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	60	So the priests and the Levites, who had received the silver and the gold and the vessels, brought them unto Jerusalem, into the temple of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	61	And from the river Theras we departed the twelfth day of the first month, and came to Jerusalem by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us: and from the beginning of our journey the Lord delivered us from every enemy, and so we came to Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	62	And when we had been there three days, the gold and silver that was weighed was delivered in the house of our Lord on the fourth day unto Marmoth the priest the son of Iri.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	63	And with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them were Josabad the son of Jesu and Moeth the son of Sabban, Levites: all was delivered them by number and weight.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	64	And all the weight of them was written up the same hour.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	65	Moreover they that were come out of the captivity offered sacrifice unto the Lord God of Israel, even twelve bullocks for all Israel, fourscore and sixteen rams,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	66	Threescore and twelve lambs, goats for a peace offering, twelve; all of them a sacrifice to the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	67	And they delivered the king's commandments unto the king's stewards' and to the governors of Celosyria and Phenice; and they honoured the people and the temple of God.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	68	Now when these things were done, the rulers came unto me, and said,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	69	The nation of Israel, the princes, the priests and Levites, have not put away from them the strange people of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles to wit, of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pheresites, Jebusites, and the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	70	For both they and their sons have married with their daughters, and the holy seed is mixed with the strange people of the land; and from the beginning of this matter the rulers and the great men have been partakers of this iniquity.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	71	And as soon as I had heard these things, I rent my clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair from off my head and beard, and sat me down sad and very heavy.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	72	So all they that were then moved at the word of the Lord God of Israel assembled unto me, whilst I mourned for the iniquity: but I sat still full of heaviness until the evening sacrifice.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	73	Then rising up from the fast with my clothes and the holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and stretching forth my hands unto the Lord,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	74	I said, O Lord, I am confounded and ashamed before thy face;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	75	For our sins are multiplied above our heads, and our ignorances have reached up unto heaven.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	76	For ever since the time of our fathers we have been and are in great sin, even unto this day.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	77	And for our sins and our fathers' we with our brethren and our kings and our priests were given up unto the kings of the earth, to the sword, and to captivity, and for a prey with shame, unto this day.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	78	And now in some measure hath mercy been shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there should be left us a root and a name in the place of thy sanctuary;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	79	And to discover unto us a light in the house of the Lord our God, and to give us food in the time of our servitude.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	80	Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not forsaken of our Lord; but he made us gracious before the kings of Persia, so that they gave us food;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	81	Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and raised up the desolate Sion, that they have given us a sure abiding in Jewry and Jerusalem.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	82	And now, O Lord, what shall we say, having these things? for we have transgressed thy commandments, which thou gavest by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	83	That the land, which ye enter into to possess as an heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they have filled it with their uncleanness.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	84	Therefore now shall ye not join your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	85	Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	86	And all that is befallen is done unto us for our wicked works and great sins; for thou, O Lord, didst make our sins light,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	87	And didst give unto us such a root: but we have turned back again to transgress thy law, and to mingle ourselves with the uncleanness of the nations of the land.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	88	Mightest not thou be angry with us to destroy us, till thou hadst left us neither root, seed, nor name?
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	89	O Lord of Israel, thou art true: for we are left a root this day.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	90	Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities, for we cannot stand any longer by reason of these things before thee.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	91	And as Esdras in his prayer made his confession, weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the temple, there gathered unto him from Jerusalem a very great multitude of men and women and children: for there was great weeping among the multitude.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	92	Then Jechonias the son of Jeelus, one of the sons of Israel, called out, and said, O Esdras, we have sinned against the Lord God, we have married strange women of the nations of the land, and now is all Israel aloft.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	93	Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put away all our wives, which we have taken of the heathen, with their children,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	94	Like as thou hast decreed, and as many as do obey the law of the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	95	Arise and put in execution: for to thee doth this matter appertain, and we will be with thee: do valiantly.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	8	96	So Esdras arose, and took an oath of the chief of the priests and Levites of all Israel to do after these things; and so they sware.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	1	Then Esdras rising from the court of the temple went to the chamber of Joanan the son of Eliasib,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	2	And remained there, and did eat no meat nor drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the multitude.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	3	And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Jerusalem to all them that were of the captivity, that they should be gathered together at Jerusalem:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	4	And that whosoever met not there within two or three days according as the elders that bare rule appointed, their cattle should be seized to the use of the temple, and himself cast out from them that were of the captivity.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	5	And in three days were all they of the tribe of Judah and Benjamin gathered together at Jerusalem the twentieth day of the ninth month.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	6	And all the multitude sat trembling in the broad court of the temple because of the present foul weather.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	7	So Esdras arose up, and said unto them, Ye have transgressed the law in marrying strange wives, thereby to increase the sins of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	8	And now by confessing give glory unto the Lord God of our fathers,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	9	And do his will, and separate yourselves from the heathen of the land, and from the strange women.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	10	Then cried the whole multitude, and said with a loud voice, Like as thou hast spoken, so will we do.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	11	But forasmuch as the people are many, and it is foul weather, so that we cannot stand without, and this is not a work of a day or two, seeing our sin in these things is spread far:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	12	Therefore let the rulers of the multitude stay, and let all them of our habitations that have strange wives come at the time appointed,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	13	And with them the rulers and judges of every place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us for this matter.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	14	Then Jonathan the son of Azael and Ezechias the son of Theocanus accordingly took this matter upon them: and Mosollam and Levis and Sabbatheus helped them.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	15	And they that were of the captivity did according to all these things.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	16	And Esdras the priest chose unto him the principal men of their families, all by name: and in the first day of the tenth month they sat together to examine the matter.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	17	So their cause that held strange wives was brought to an end in the first day of the first month.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	18	And of the priests that were come together, and had strange wives, there were found:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	19	Of the sons of Jesus the son of Josedec, and his brethren; Matthelas and Eleazar, and Joribus and Joadanus.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	20	And they gave their hands to put away their wives and to offer rams to make reconcilement for their errors.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	21	And of the sons of Emmer; Ananias, and Zabdeus, and Eanes, and Sameius, and Hiereel, and Azarias.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	22	And of the sons of Phaisur; Elionas, Massias Israel, and Nathanael, and Ocidelus and Talsas.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	23	And of the Levites; Jozabad, and Semis, and Colius, who was called Calitas, and Patheus, and Judas, and Jonas.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	24	Of the holy singers; Eleazurus, Bacchurus.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	25	Of the porters; Sallumus, and Tolbanes.

1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	36	All these had taken strange wives, and they put them away with their children.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	37	And the priests and Levites, and they that were of Israel, dwelt in Jerusalem, and in the country, in the first day of the seventh month: so the children of Israel were in their habitations.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	38	And the whole multitude came together with one accord into the broad place of the holy porch toward the east:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	39	And they spake unto Esdras the priest and reader, that he would bring the law of Moses, that was given of the Lord God of Israel.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	40	So Esdras the chief priest brought the law unto the whole multitude from man to woman, and to all the priests, to hear law in the first day of the seventh month.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	41	And he read in the broad court before the holy porch from morning unto midday, before both men and women; and the multitude gave heed unto the law.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	42	And Esdras the priest and reader of the law stood up upon a pulpit of wood, which was made for that purpose.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	43	And there stood up by him Mattathias, Sammus, Ananias, Azarias, Urias, Ezecias, Balasamus, upon the right hand:
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	44	And upon his left hand stood Phaldaius, Misael, Melchias, Lothasubus, and Nabarias.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	45	Then took Esdras the book of the law before the multitude: for he sat honourably in the first place in the sight of them all.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	46	And when he opened the law, they stood all straight up. So Esdras blessed the Lord God most High, the God of hosts, Almighty.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	47	And all the people answered, Amen; and lifting up their hands they fell to the ground, and worshipped the Lord.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	48	Also Jesus, Anus, Sarabias, Adinus, Jacubus, Sabateas, Auteas, Maianeas, and Calitas, Asrias, and Joazabdus, and Ananias, Biatas, the Levites, taught the law of the Lord, making them withal to understand it.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	49	Then spake Attharates unto Esdras the chief priest. and reader, and to the Levites that taught the multitude, even to all, saying,
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	50	This day is holy unto the Lord; (for they all wept when they heard the law:)
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	51	Go then, and eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send part to them that have nothing;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	52	For this day is holy unto the Lord: and be not sorrowful; for the Lord will bring you to honour.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	53	So the Levites published all things to the people, saying, This day is holy to the Lord; be not sorrowful.
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	54	Then went they their way, every one to eat and drink, and make merry, and to give part to them that had nothing, and to make great cheer;
1 Esdras	1Esd	78	9	55	Because they understood the words wherein they were instructed, and for the which they had been assembled.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	1	O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	2	who hast made heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof;
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	3	who hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandment; who hast shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name;
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	4	whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power; for the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable:
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	5	but thy merciful promise is unmeasurable and unsearchable;
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	6	for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	7	Thou therefore, O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee; but thou hast appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner:
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	8	for I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied: my transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	9	I am bowed down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release: for I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee: I did not thy will, neither kept I thy commandments: I have set up abominations, and have multiplied offences.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	10	Now therefore I bow the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	11	I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I acknowledge mine iniquities:
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	12	wherefore, I humbly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive me, and destroy me not with mine iniquites. Be not angry with me for ever, by reserving evil for me; neither condemn me to the lower parts of the earth. For thou art the God, even the God of them that repent;
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	13	and in me thou wilt shew all thy goodness: for thou wilt save me, that am unworthy, according to thy great mercy.
Prayer of Manasseh	Man	79	1	14	Therefore I will praise thee for ever all the days of my life: for all the powers of the heavens do praise thee, and thine is the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	1	The second book of the prophet Esdras, the son of Saraias, the son of Azarias, the son of Helchias, the son of Sadamias, the sou of Sadoc, the son of Achitob,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	2	The son of Achias, the son of Phinees, the son of Heli, the son of Amarias, the son of Aziei, the son of Marimoth, the son of And he spake unto the of Borith, the son of Abisei, the son of Phinees, the son of Eleazar,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	3	The son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi; which was captive in the land of the Medes, in the reign of Artexerxes king of the Persians.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	4	And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	5	Go thy way, and shew my people their sinful deeds, and their children their wickedness which they have done against me; that they may tell their children's children:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	6	Because the sins of their fathers are increased in them: for they have forgotten me, and have offered unto strange gods.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	7	Am not I even he that brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage? but they have provoked me unto wrath, and despised my counsels.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	8	Pull thou off then the hair of thy head, and cast all evil upon them, for they have not been obedient unto my law, but it is a rebellious people.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	9	How long shall I forbear them, into whom I have done so much good?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	10	Many kings have I destroyed for their sakes; Pharaoh with his servants and all his power have I smitten down.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	11	All the nations have I destroyed before them, and in the east I have scattered the people of two provinces, even of Tyrus and Sidon, and have slain all their enemies.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	12	Speak thou therefore unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	13	I led you through the sea and in the beginning gave you  a large and safe passage; I gave you Moses for a leader,  and Aaron for a priest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	14	I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great wonders have I done among you; yet have ye forgotten me, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	15	Thus saith the Almighty Lord, The quails were as a token to you;  I gave you tents for your safeguard: nevertheless ye murmured there,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	16	And triumphed not in my name for the destruction of your enemies,  but ever to this day do ye yet murmur.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	17	Where are the benefits that I have done for you? when ye were hungry and thirsty in the wilderness, did ye not cry unto me,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	18	Saying, Why hast thou brought us into this wilderness to kill us?  it had been better for us to have served the Egyptians,  than to die in this wilderness.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	19	Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave you manna to eat;  so ye did eat angels' bread.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	20	When ye were thirsty, did I not cleave the rock, and waters flowed out to your fill? for the heat I covered you with the leaves of the trees.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	21	I divided among you a fruitful land, I cast out the Canaanites, the Pherezites, and the Philistines, before you: what shall I yet do more for you? saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	22	Thus saith the Almighty Lord, When ye were in the wilderness, in the river of the Amorites, being athirst, and blaspheming my name,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	23	I gave you not fire for your blasphemies, but cast a tree in the water, and made the river sweet.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	24	What shall I do unto thee, O Jacob? thou, Juda, wouldest not obey me: I will turn me to other nations, and unto those will  I give my name, that they may keep my statutes.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	25	Seeing ye have forsaken me, I will forsake you also; when ye desire me to be gracious unto you, I shall have no mercy upon you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	26	Whensoever ye shall call upon me, I will not hear you:  for ye have defiled your hands with blood, and your feet are swift  to commit manslaughter.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	27	Ye have not as it were forsaken me, but your own selves, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	28	Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Have I not prayed you as a father his sons, as a mother her daughters, and a nurse her young babes,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	29	That ye would be my people, and I should be your God; that ye would be my children, and I should be your father?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	30	I gathered you together, as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings: but now, what shall I do unto you? I will cast you out from my face.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	31	When ye offer unto me, I will turn my face from you: for your solemn feastdays, your new moons, and your circumcisions, have I forsaken.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	32	I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	33	Thus saith the Almighty Lord, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind doth stubble.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	34	And your children shall not be fruitful; for they have despised my commandment, and done the thing that is an evil before me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	35	Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which not having heard of me yet shall believe me; to whom I have shewed no signs, yet they shall do that I have commanded them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	36	They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their sins to remembrance, and acknowledge them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	37	I take to witness the grace of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness: and though they have not seen me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the thing that I say.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	38	And now, brother, behold what glory; and see the people that come from the east:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	39	Unto whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	1	40	Nahum, and Abacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zachary, and Malachy, which is called also an angel of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	1	Thus saith the Lord, I brought this people out of bondage, and I gave them my commandments by menservants the prophets; whom they would not hear, but despised my counsels.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	2	The mother that bare them saith unto them, Go your way, ye children; for I am a widow and forsaken.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	3	I brought you up with gladness; but with sorrow and heaviness have I lost you: for ye have sinned before the Lord your God, and done that thing that is evil before him.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	4	But what shall I now do unto you? I am a widow and forsaken: go your way, O my children, and ask mercy of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	5	As for me, O father, I call upon thee for a witness over the mother of these children, which would not keep my covenant,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	6	That thou bring them to confusion, and their mother to a spoil, that there may be no offspring of them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	7	Let them be scattered abroad among the heathen, let their names be put out of the earth: for they have despised my covenant.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	8	Woe be unto thee, Assur, thou that hidest the unrighteous in thee! O thou wicked people, remember what I did unto Sodom and Gomorrha;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	9	Whose land lieth in clods of pitch and heaps of ashes: even so also will I do unto them that hear me not, saith the Almighty Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	10	Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	11	Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	12	They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	13	Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	14	Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good: for I live, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	15	Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	16	And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known my name in Israel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	17	Fear not, thou mother of the children: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	18	For thy help will I send my servants Esau and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	19	And as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with joy.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	20	Do right to the widow, judge for the fatherless, give to the poor, defend the orphan, clothe the naked,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	21	Heal the broken and the weak, laugh not a lame man to scorn, defend the maimed, and let the blind man come into the sight of my clearness.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	22	Keep the old and young within thy walls.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	23	Wheresoever thou findest the dead, take them and bury them, and I will give thee the first place in my resurrection.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	24	Abide still, O my people, and take thy rest, for thy quietness still come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	25	Nourish thy children, O thou good nurse; stablish their feet.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	26	As for the servants whom I have given thee, there shall not one of them perish; for I will require them from among thy number.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	27	Be not weary: for when the day of trouble and heaviness cometh, others shall weep and be sorrowful, but thou shalt be merry and have abundance.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	28	The heathen shall envy thee, but they shall be able to do nothing against thee, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	29	My hands shall cover thee, so that thy children shall not see hell.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	30	Be joyful, O thou mother, with thy children; for I will deliver thee, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	31	Remember thy children that sleep, for I shall bring them out of the sides of the earth, and shew mercy unto them: for I am merciful, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	32	Embrace thy children until I come and shew mercy unto them: for my wells run over, and my grace shall not fail.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	33	I Esdras received a charge of the Lord upon the mount Oreb, that I should go unto Israel; but when I came unto them, they set me at nought, and despised the commandment of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	34	And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	35	Be ready to the reward of the kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	36	Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	37	O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the heavenly kingdom.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	38	Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	39	Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	40	Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	41	The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	42	I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	43	And in the midst of them there was a young man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads he set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	44	So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	45	He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	46	Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	47	So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	2	48	Then the angel said unto me, Go thy way, and tell my people what manner of things, and how great wonders of the Lord thy God, thou hast seen.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	1	In the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city I was in Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	2	For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	3	And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	4	O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandedst the people,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	5	And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	6	And thou leadest him into paradise, which thy right hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	7	And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	8	And every people walked after their own will, and did wonderful things before thee, and despised thy commandments.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	9	And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	10	And it came to pass in every of them, that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	11	Nevertheless one of them thou leftest, namely, Noah with his household, of whom came all righteous men.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	12	And it happened, that when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children, and were a great people, they began again to be more ungodly than the first.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	13	Now when they lived so wickedly before thee, thou didst choose thee a man from among them, whose name was Abraham.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	14	Him thou lovedst, and unto him only thou shewedst thy will:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	15	And madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that thou wouldest never forsake his seed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	16	And unto him thou gavest Isaac, and unto Isaac also thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, thou didst choose him to thee, and put by Esau: and so Jacob became a great multitude.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	17	And it came to pass, that when thou leadest his seed out of Egypt, thou broughtest them up to the mount Sinai.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	18	And bowing the heavens, thou didst set fast the earth, movedst the whole world, and madest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the men of that age.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	19	And thy glory went through four gates, of fire, and of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold; that thou mightest give the law unto the seed of Jacob, and diligence unto the generation of Israel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	20	And yet tookest thou not away from them a wicked heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	21	For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart transgressed, and was overcome; and so be all they that are born of him.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	22	Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the law (also) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the root; so that the good departed away, and the evil abode still.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	23	So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	24	Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	25	When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	26	And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also had a wicked heart:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	27	And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine enemies.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	28	Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	29	For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	30	For I have seen how thou sufferest them sinning, and hast spared wicked doers: and hast destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thine enemies, and hast not signified it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	31	I do not remember how this way may be left: Are they then of Babylon better than they of Sion?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	32	Or is there any other people that knoweth thee beside Israel?  or what generation hath so believed thy covenants as Jacob?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	33	And yet their reward appeareth not, and their labour hath no fruit: for I have gone here and there through the heathen, and I see that they flow in wealth, and think not upon thy commandments.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	34	Weigh thou therefore our wickedness now in the balance, and their's also that dwell the world; and so shall thy name no where be found but in Israel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	35	Or when was it that they which dwell upon the earth have not sinned in thy sight? or what people have so kept thy commandments?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	3	36	Thou shalt find that Israel by name hath kept thy precepts; but not the heathen.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	1	And the angel that was sent unto me, whose name was Uriel, gave me an answer,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	2	And said, Thy heart hath gone to far in this world, and thinkest thou to comprehend the way of the most High?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	3	Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he answered me, and said, I am sent to shew thee three ways, and to set forth three similitudes before thee:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	4	Whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will shew thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall shew thee from whence the wicked heart cometh.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	5	And I said, Tell on, my lord. Then said he unto me, Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me again the day that is past.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	6	Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	7	And he said unto me, If I should ask thee how great dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the beginning of the deep, or how many springs are above the firmament, or which are the outgoings of paradise:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	8	Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever climb up into heaven.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	9	Nevertheless now have I asked thee but only of the fire and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou hast passed, and of things from which thou canst not be separated, and yet canst thou give me no answer of them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	10	He said moreover unto me, Thine own things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	11	How should thy vessel then be able to comprehend the way of the Highest, and, the world being now outwardly corrupted to understand the corruption that is evident in my sight?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	12	Then said I unto him, It were better that we were not at all, than that we should live still in wickedness, and to suffer, and not to know wherefore.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	13	He answered me, and said, I went into a forest into a plain, and the trees took counsel,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	14	And said, Come, let us go and make war against the sea that it may depart away before us, and that we may make us more woods.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	15	The floods of the sea also in like manner took counsel, and said, Come, let us go up and subdue the woods of the plain, that there also we may make us another country.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	16	The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire came and consumed it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	17	The thought of the floods of the sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood up and stopped them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	18	If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to justify? or whom wouldest thou condemn?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	19	I answered and said, Verily it is a foolish thought that they both have devised, for the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to bear his floods.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	20	Then answered he me, and said, Thou hast given a right judgment, but why judgest thou not thyself also?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	21	For like as the ground is given unto the wood, and the sea to his floods: even so they that dwell upon the earth may understand nothing but that which is upon the earth: and he that dwelleth above the heavens may only understand the things that are above the height of the heavens.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	22	Then answered I and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, let me have understanding:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	23	For it was not my mind to be curious of the high things, but of such as pass by us daily, namely, wherefore Israel is given up as a reproach to the heathen, and for what cause the people whom thou hast loved is given over unto ungodly nations, and why the law of our forefathers is brought to nought, and the written covenants come to none effect,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	24	And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain mercy.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	25	What will he then do unto his name whereby we are called? of these things have I asked.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	26	Then answered he me, and said, The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteth fast to pass away,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	27	And cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come: for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	28	But as concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof is not yet come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	29	If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then cannot it come that is sown with good.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	30	For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time? and how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	31	Ponder now by thyself, how great fruit of wickedness the grain of evil seed hath brought forth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	32	And when the ears shall be cut down, which are without number, how great a floor shall they fill?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	33	Then I answered and said, How, and when shall these things come to pass? wherefore are our years few and evil?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	34	And he answered me, saying, Do not thou hasten above the most Highest: for thy haste is in vain to be above him, for thou hast much exceeded.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	35	Did not the souls also of the righteous ask question of these things in their chambers, saying, How long shall I hope on this fashion? when cometh the fruit of the floor of our reward?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	36	And unto these things Uriel the archangel gave them answer, and said, Even when the number of seeds is filled in you: for he hath weighed the world in the balance.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	37	By measure hath he measured the times; and by number hath he numbered the times; and he doth not move nor stir them, until the said measure be fulfilled.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	38	Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, even we all are full of impiety.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	39	And for our sakes peradventure it is that the floors of the righteous are not filled, because of the sins of them that dwell upon the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	40	So he answered me, and said, Go thy way to a woman with child, and ask of her when she hath fulfilled her nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer within her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	41	Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	42	For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	43	From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	44	Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	45	Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	46	What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	47	And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	48	So I stood, and saw, and, behold, an hot burning oven passed by before me: and it happened that when the flame was gone by I looked, and, behold, the smoke remained still.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	49	After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained still.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	50	Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than the smoke; but the drops and the smoke remain behind: so the quantity which is past did more exceed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	51	Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until that time? or what shall happen in those days?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	4	52	He answered me, and said, As for the tokens whereof thou askest me, I may tell thee of them in part: but as touching thy life, I am not sent to shew thee; for I do not know it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	1	Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	2	But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	3	And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	4	But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	5	And blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	6	And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	7	And the Sodomitish sea shall cast out fish, and make a noise in the night, which many have not known: but they shall all hear the voice thereof.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	8	There shall be a confusion also in many places, and the fire shall be oft sent out again, and the wild beasts shall change their places, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	9	And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall destroy one another; then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	10	And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied upon earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	11	One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee? And it shall say, No.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	12	At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labour, but their ways shall not prosper.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	13	To shew thee such tokens I have leave; and if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast even days, thou shalt hear yet greater things.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	14	Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulness went through all my body, and my mind was troubled, so that it fainted.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	15	So the angel that was come to talk with me held me, comforted me, and set me up upon my feet.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	16	And in the second night it came to pass, that Salathiel the captain of the people came unto me, saying, Where hast thou been? and why is thy countenance so heavy?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	17	Knowest thou not that Israel is committed unto thee in the land of their captivity?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	18	Up then, and eat bread, and forsake us not, as the shepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	19	Then said I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and come not nigh me. And he heard what I said, and went from me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	20	And so I fasted seven days, mourning and weeping, like as Uriel the angel commanded me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	21	And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	22	And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most High again,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	23	And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	24	And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	25	And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river: and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	26	And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	27	And among all the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	28	And now, O Lord, why hast thou given this one people over unto many? and upon the one root hast thou prepared others, and why hast thou scattered thy only one people among many?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	29	And they which did gainsay thy promises, and believed not thy covenants, have trodden them down.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	30	If thou didst so much hate thy people, yet shouldest thou punish them with thine own hands.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	31	Now when I had spoken these words, the angel that came to me the night afore was sent unto me,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	32	And said unto me, Hear me, and I will instruct thee; hearken to the thing that I say, and I shall tell thee more.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	33	And I said, Speak on, my Lord. Then said he unto me, Thou art sore troubled in mind for Israel's sake: lovest thou that people better than he that made them?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	34	And I said, No, Lord: but of very grief have I spoken: for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour to comprehend the way of the most High, and to seek out part of his judgment.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	35	And he said unto me, Thou canst not. And I said, Wherefore, Lord? whereunto was I born then? or why was not my mother's womb then my grave, that I might not have seen the travail of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the stock of Israel?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	36	And he said unto me, Number me the things that are not yet come, gather me together the dross that are scattered abroad, make me the flowers green again that are withered,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	37	Open me the places that are closed, and bring me forth the winds that in them are shut up, shew me the image of a voice: and then I will declare to thee the thing that thou labourest to know.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	38	And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, who may know these things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	39	As for me, I am unwise: how may I then speak of these things whereof thou askest me?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	40	Then said he unto me, Like as thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto my people.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	41	And I said, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh unto them that be reserved till the end: and what shall they do that have been before me, or we that be now, or they that shall come after us?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	42	And he said unto me, I will liken my judgment unto a ring: like as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	43	So I answered and said, Couldest thou not make those that have been made, and be now, and that are for to come, at once; that thou mightest shew thy judgment the sooner?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	44	Then answered he me, and said, The creature may not haste above the maker; neither may the world hold them at once that shall be created therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	45	And I said, As thou hast said unto thy servant, that thou, which givest life to all, hast given life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: even so it might now also bear them that now be present at once.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	46	And he said unto me, Ask the womb of a woman, and say unto her, If thou bringest forth children, why dost thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth ten children at once.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	47	And I said, She cannot: but must do it by distance of time.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	48	Then said he unto me, Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those that be sown in it in their times.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	49	For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, even so have I disposed the world which I created.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	50	And I asked, and said, Seeing thou hast now given me the way, I will proceed to speak before thee: for our mother, of whom thou hast told me that she is young, draweth now nigh unto age.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	51	He answered me, and said, Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	52	Say unto her, Wherefore are unto they whom thou hast now brought forth like those that were before, but less of stature?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	53	And she shall answer thee, They that be born in the the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	54	Consider thou therefore also, how that ye are less of stature than those that were before you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	55	And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	5	56	Then said I, Lord, I beseech thee, if I have found favour in thy sight, shew thy servant by whom thou visitest thy creature.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	1	And he said unto me, In the beginning, when the earth was made, before the borders of the world stood, or ever the winds blew,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	2	Before it thundered and lightened, or ever the foundations of paradise were laid,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	3	Before the fair flowers were seen, or ever the moveable powers were established, before the innumerable multitude of angels were gathered together,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	4	Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before the measures of the firmament were named, or ever the chimneys in Sion were hot,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	5	And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	6	Then did I consider these things, and they all were made through me alone, and through none other: by me also they shall be ended, and by none other.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	7	Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting asunder of the times? or when shall be the end of the first, and the beginning of it that followeth?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	8	And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob's hand held first the heel of Esau.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	9	For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	10	The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand: other question, Esdras, ask thou not.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	11	I answered then and said, O Lord that bearest rule, if I have found favour in thy sight,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	12	I beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy tokens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last night.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	13	So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	14	And it shall be as it were a great motion; but the place where thou standest shall not be moved.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	15	And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid: for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is understood.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	16	And why? because the speech of these things trembleth and is moved: for it knoweth that the end of these things must be changed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	17	And it happened, that when I had heard it I stood up upon my feet, and hearkened, and, behold, there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	18	And it said, Behold, the days come, that I will begin to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell upon the earth,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	19	And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that have hurt unjustly with their unrighteousness, and when the affliction of Sion shall be fulfilled;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	20	And when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, shall be finished, then will I shew these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and they shall see all together:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	21	And the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely children of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	22	And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	23	And tha trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man heareth, they shall be suddenly afraid.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	24	At that time shall friends fight one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not run.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	25	Whosoever remaineth from all these that I have told thee shall escape, and see my salvation, and the end of your world.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	26	And the men that are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	27	For evil shall be put out, and deceit shall be quenched.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	28	As for faith, it shall flourish, corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which hath been so long without fruit, shall be declared.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	29	And when he talked with me, behold, I looked by little and little upon him before whom I stood.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	30	And these words said he unto me; I am come to shew thee the time of the night to come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	31	If thou wilt pray yet more, and fast seven days again, I shall tell thee greater things by day than I have heard.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	32	For thy voice is heard before the most High: for the Mighty hath seen thy righteous dealing, he hath seen also thy chastity, which thou hast had ever since thy youth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	33	And therefore hath he sent me to shew thee all these things, and to say unto thee, Be of good comfort and fear not
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	34	And hasten not with the times that are past, to think vain things, that thou mayest not hasten from the latter times.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	35	And it came to pass after this, that I wept again, and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfil the three weeks which he told me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	36	And in the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the most High.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	37	For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	38	And I said, O Lord, thou spakest from the beginning of the creation, even the first day, and saidst thus; Let heaven and earth be made; and thy word was a perfect work.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	39	And then was the spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	40	Then commandedst thou a fair light to come forth of thy treasures, that thy work might appear.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	41	Upon the second day thou madest the spirit of the firmament, and commandedst it to part asunder, and to make a division betwixt the waters, that the one part might go up, and the other remain beneath.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	42	Upon the third day thou didst command that the waters should be gathered in the seventh part of the earth: six pats hast thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent that of these some being planted of God and tilled might serve thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	43	For as soon as thy word went forth the work was made.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	44	For immediately there was great and innumerable fruit, and many and divers pleasures for the taste, and flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful smell: and this was done the third day.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	45	Upon the fourth day thou commandedst that the sun should shine, and the moon give her light, and the stars should be in order:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	46	And gavest them a charge to do service unto man, that was to be made.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	47	Upon the fifth day thou saidst unto the seventh part, where the waters were gathered that it should bring forth living creatures, fowls and fishes: and so it came to pass.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	48	For the dumb water and without life brought forth living things at the commandment of God, that all people might praise thy wondrous works.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	49	Then didst thou ordain two living creatures, the one thou calledst Enoch, and the other Leviathan;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	50	And didst separate the one from the other: for the seventh part, namely, where the water was gathered together, might not hold them both.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	51	Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, which was dried up the third day, that he should dwell in the same part, wherein are a thousand hills:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	52	But unto Leviathan thou gavest the seventh part, namely, the moist; and hast kept him to be devoured of whom thou wilt, and when.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	53	Upon the sixth day thou gavest commandment unto the earth, that before thee it should bring forth beasts, cattle, and creeping things:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	54	And after these, Adam also, whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures: of him come we all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	55	All this have I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	56	As for the other people, which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like unto spittle: and hast likened the abundance of them unto a drop that falleth from a vessel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	57	And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	58	But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy firstborn, thy only begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given into their hands.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	6	59	If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	1	And when I had made an end of speaking these words, there was sent unto me the angel which had been sent unto me the nights afore:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	2	And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hear the words that I am come to tell thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	3	And I said, Speak on, my God. Then said he unto me, The sea is set in a wide place, that it might be deep and great.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	4	But put the case the entrance were narrow, and like a river;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	5	Who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to rule it? if he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	6	There is also another thing; A city is builded, and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	7	The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	8	And one only path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	9	If this city now were given unto a man for an inheritance, if he never shall pass the danger set before it, how shall he receive this inheritance?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	10	And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel's portion.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	11	Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	12	Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils,: and very painful.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	13	For the entrances of the elder world were wide and sure, and brought immortal fruit.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	14	If then they that live labour not to enter these strait and vain things, they can never receive those that are laid up for them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	15	Now therefore why disquietest thou thyself, seeing thou art but a corruptible man? and why art thou moved, whereas thou art but mortal?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	16	Why hast thou not considered in thy mind this thing that is to come, rather than that which is present?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	17	Then answered I and said, O Lord that bearest rule, thou hast ordained in thy law, that the righteous should inherit these things, but that the ungodly should perish.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	18	Nevertheless the righteous shall suffer strait things, and hope for wide: for they that have done wickedly have suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	19	And he said unto me. There is no judge above God, and none that hath understanding above the Highest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	20	For there be many that perish in this life, because they despise the law of God that is set before them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	21	For God hath given strait commandment to such as came, what they should do to live, even as they came, and what they should observe to avoid punishment.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	22	Nevertheless they were not obedient unto him; but spake against him, and imagined vain things;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	23	And deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the most High, that he is not; and knew not his ways:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	24	But his law have they despised, and denied his covenants; in his statutes have they not been faithful, and have not performed his works.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	25	And therefore, Esdras, for the empty are empty things, and for the full are the full things.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	26	Behold, the time shall come, that these tokens which I have told thee shall come to pass, and the bride shall appear, and she coming forth shall be seen, that now is withdrawn from the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	27	And whosoever is delivered from the foresaid evils shall see my wonders.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	28	For my son Jesus shall be revealed with those that be with him, and they that remain shall rejoice within four hundred years.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	29	After these years shall my son Christ die, and all men that have life.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	30	And the world shall be turned into the old silence seven days, like as in the former judgments: so that no man shall remain.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	31	And after seven days the world, that yet awaketh not, shall be raised up, and that shall die that is corrupt
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	32	And the earth shall restore those that are asleep in her, and so shall the dust those that dwell in silence, and the secret places shall deliver those souls that were committed unto them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	33	And the most High shall appear upon the seat of judgment, and misery shall pass away, and the long suffering shall have an end:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	34	But judgment only shall remain, truth shall stand, and faith shall wax strong:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	35	And the work shall follow, and the reward shall be shewed, and the good deeds shall be of force, and wicked deeds shall bear no rule.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	36	Then said I, Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, and Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	37	And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of Achan:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	38	And Samuel and David for the destruction: and Solomon for them that should come to the sanctuary:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	39	And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	40	And Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib: and many for many.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	41	Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	42	He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide; therefore have they prayed for the weak.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	43	But the day of doom shall be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortality for to come, wherein corruption is past,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	44	Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off, righteousness is grown, and truth is sprung up.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	45	Then shall no man be able to save him that is destroyed, nor to oppress him that hath gotten the victory.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	46	I answered then and said, This is my first and last saying, that it had been better not to have given the earth unto Adam: or else, when it was given him, to have restrained him from sinning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	47	For what profit is it for men now in this present time to live in heaviness, and after death to look for punishment?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	48	O thou Adam, what hast thou done? for though it was thou that sinned, thou art not fallen alone, but we all that come of thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	49	For what profit is it unto us, if there be promised us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works that bring death?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	50	And that there is promised us an everlasting hope, whereas ourselves being most wicked are made vain?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	51	And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health and safety, whereas we have lived wickedly?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	52	And that the glory of the most High is kept to defend them which have led a wary life, whereas we have walked in the most wicked ways of all?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	53	And that there should be shewed a paradise, whose fruit endureth for ever, wherein is security and medicine, since we shall not enter into it?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	54	(For we have walked in unpleasant places.)
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	55	And that the faces of them which have used abstinence shall shine above the stars, whereas our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	56	For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	57	Then answered he me, and said, This is the condition of the battle, which man that is born upon the earth shall fight;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	58	That, if he be overcome, he shall suffer as thou hast said: but if he get the victory, he shall receive the thing that I say.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	59	For this is the life whereof Moses spake unto the people while he lived, saying, Choose thee life, that thou mayest live.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	60	Nevertheless they believed not him, nor yet the prophets after him, no nor me which have spoken unto them,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	61	That there should not be such heaviness in their destruction, as shall be joy over them that are persuaded to salvation.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	62	I answered then, and said, I know, Lord, that the most High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy upon them which are not yet come into the world,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	63	And upon those also that turn to his law;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	64	And that he is patient, and long suffereth those that have sinned, as his creatures;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	65	And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give where it needeth;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	66	And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth more and more mercies to them that are present, and that are past, and also to them which are to come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	67	For if he shall not multiply his mercies, the world would not continue with them that inherit therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	68	And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of his goodness, that they which have committed iniquities might be eased of them, the ten thousandth part of men should not remain living.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	69	And being judge, if he should not forgive them that are cured with his word, and put out the multitude of contentions,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	7	70	There should be very few left peradventure in an innumerable multitude.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	1	And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	2	I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present world.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	3	There be many created, but few shall be saved.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	4	So answered I and said, Swallow then down, O my soul, understanding, and devour wisdom.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	5	For thou hast agreed to give ear, and art willing to prophesy: for thou hast no longer space than only to live.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	6	O Lord, if thou suffer not thy servant, that we may pray before thee, and thou give us seed unto our heart, and culture to our understanding, that there may come fruit of it; how shall each man live that is corrupt, who beareth the place of a man?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	7	For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thine hands, like as thou hast said.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	8	For when the body is fashioned now in the mother's womb, and thou givest it members, thy creature is preserved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy workmanship endure thy creature which is created in her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	9	But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be preserved: and when the time cometh, the womb preserved delivereth up the things that grew in it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	10	For thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	11	That the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, till thou disposest it to thy mercy.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	12	Thou broughtest it up with thy righteousness, and nurturedst it in thy law, and reformedst it with thy judgment.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	13	And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, and quicken it as thy work.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	14	If therefore thou shalt destroy him which with so great labour was fashioned, it is an easy thing to be ordained by thy commandment, that the thing which was made might be preserved.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	15	Now therefore, Lord, I will speak; touching man in general, thou knowest best; but touching thy people, for whose sake I am sorry;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	16	And for thine inheritance, for whose cause I mourn; and for Israel, for whom I am heavy; and for Jacob, for whose sake I am troubled;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	17	Therefore will I begin to pray before thee for myself and for them: for I see the falls of us that dwell in the land.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	18	But I have heard the swiftness of the judge which is to come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	19	Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of Esdras, before he was taken up: and I said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	20	O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness which beholdest from above things in the heaven and in the air;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	21	Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended; before whom the hosts of angels stand with trembling,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	22	Whose service is conversant in wind and fire; whose word is true, and sayings constant; whose commandment is strong, and ordinance fearful;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	23	Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation maketh the mountains to melt away; which the truth witnesseth:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	24	O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	25	For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	26	O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	27	Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	28	Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	29	Let it not be thy will to destroy them which have lived like beasts; but to look upon them that have clearly taught thy law.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	30	Take thou no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that always put their trust in thy righteousness and glory.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	31	For we and our fathers do languish of such diseases: but because of us sinners thou shalt be called merciful.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	32	For if thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, thou shalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no works of righteousness.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	33	For the just, which have many good works laid up with thee, shall out of their own deeds receive reward.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	34	For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him?  or what is a corruptible generation, that thou shouldest be so bitter toward it?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	35	For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	36	For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	37	Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	38	For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	39	But I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the reward, that they shall have.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	40	Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	41	For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	42	I answered then and said, If I have found grace, let me speak.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	43	Like as the husbandman's seed perisheth, if it come not up, and receive not thy rain in due season; or if there come too much rain, and corrupt it:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	44	Even so perisheth man also, which is formed with thy hands, and is called thine own image, because thou art like unto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him unto the husbandman's seed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	45	Be not wroth with us but spare thy people, and have mercy upon thine own inheritance: for thou art merciful unto thy creature.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	46	Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	47	For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	48	In this also thou art marvellous before the most High:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	49	In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	50	For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	51	But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	52	For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	53	The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	54	Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	55	And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	56	For when they had taken liberty, they despised the most High, thought scorn of his law, and forsook his ways.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	57	Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	58	And said in their heart, that there is no God; yea, and that knowing they must die.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	59	For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	60	But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	61	And therefore is my judgment now at hand.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	62	These things have I not shewed unto all men, but unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	8	63	Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	1	He answered me then, and said, Measure thou the time diligently in itself: and when thou seest part of the signs past, which I have told thee before,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	2	Then shalt thou understand, that it is the very same time, wherein the Highest will begin to visit the world which he made.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	3	Therefore when there shall be seen earthquakes and uproars of the people in the world:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	4	Then shalt thou well understand, that the most High spake of those things from the days that were before thee, even from the beginning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	5	For like as all that is made in the world hath a beginning and an end, and the end is manifest:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	6	Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	7	And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	8	Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	9	Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	10	For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	11	And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet liberty, and, when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, understood not, but despised it;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	12	The same must know it after death by pain.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	13	And therefore be thou not curious how the ungodly shall be punished, and when: but enquire how the righteous shall be saved, whose the world is, and for whom the world is created.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	14	Then answered I and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	15	I have said before, and now do speak, and will speak it also hereafter, that there be many more of them which perish, than of them which shall be saved:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	16	Like as a wave is greater than a drop.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	17	And he answered me, saying, Like as the field is, so is also the seed; as the flowers be, such are the colours also; such as the workman is, such also is the work; and as the husbandman ls himself, so is his husbandry also: for it was the time of the world.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	18	And now when I prepared the world, which was not yet made, even for them to dwell in that now live, no man spake against me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	19	For then every one obeyed: but now the manners of them which are created in this world that is made are corrupted by a perpetual seed, and by a law which is unsearchable rid themselves.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	20	So I considered the world, and, behold, there was peril because of the devices that were come into it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	21	And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept me a grape of the cluster, and a plant of a great people.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	22	Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	23	Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more, (but thou shalt not fast in them,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	24	But go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;)
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	25	And pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come and talk with thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	26	So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	27	After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was vexed within me, like as before:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	28	And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the most High, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	29	O Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou wast shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man treadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	30	And thou spakest saying, Hear me, O Israel; and mark my words, thou seed of Jacob.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	31	For, behold, I sow my law in you, and it shall bring fruit in you, and ye shall be honoured in it for ever.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	32	But our fathers, which received the law, kept it not, and observed not thy ordinances: and though the fruit of thy law did not perish, neither could it, for it was thine;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	33	Yet they that received it perished, because they kept not the thing that was sown in them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	34	And, lo, it ls a custom, when the ground hath received seed, or the sea a ship, or any vessel meat or drink, that, that being perished wherein it was sown or cast into,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	35	That thing also which was sown, or cast therein, or received, doth perish, and remaineth not with us: but with us it hath not happened so.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	36	For we that have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	37	Notwithstanding the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	38	And when I spake these things in my heart, I looked back with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman, and, behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much grieved in heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes upon her head.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	39	Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and turned me unto her,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	40	And said unto her, Wherefore weepest thou? why art thou so grieved in thy mind?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	41	And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	42	And I said unto her, What aileth thee? tell me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	43	She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, and had no child, though I had an husband thirty years,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	44	And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, and every hour, but make my, prayer to the Highest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	45	After thirty years God heard me thine handmaid, looked upon my misery, considered my trouble, and gave me a son: and I was very glad of him, so was my husband also, and all my neighbours: and we gave great honour unto the Almighty.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	46	And I nourished him with great travail.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	9	47	So when he grew up, and came to the time that he should have a wife, I made a feast.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	1	And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	2	Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours rose up to comfort me: so I took my rest unto the second day at night.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	3	And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	4	And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn and to fast until I die.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	5	Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to her in anger, saying,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	6	Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou not our mourning, and what happeneth unto us?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	7	How that Sion our mother is full of all heaviness, and much humbled, mourning very sore?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	8	And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	9	For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	10	For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shall all others come, and, behold, they walk almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	11	Who then should make more mourning than she, that hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, which art sorry but for one?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	12	But if thou sayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the earth's, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which I brought forth with pains, and bare with sorrows;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	13	But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it according to the course of the earth is gone, as it came:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	14	Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with labour; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning unto him that made her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	15	Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	16	For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	17	Go thy way then into the city to thine husband.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	18	And she said unto me, That will I not do: I will not go into the city, but here will I die.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	19	So I proceeded to speak further unto her, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	20	Do not so, but be counselled. by me: for how many are the adversities of Sion? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	21	For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	22	Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon us is almost profaned: our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are become weak;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	23	And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	24	And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	25	And it came to pass while I was talking with her, behold, her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance glistered, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	26	And, behold, suddenly she made a great cry very fearful: so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	27	And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared unto me no more, but there was a city builded, and a large place shewed itself from the foundations: then was I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	28	Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first? for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	29	And as I was speaking these words behold, he came unto me, and looked upon me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	30	And, lo, I lay as one that had been dead, and mine understanding was taken from me: and he took me by the right hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said unto me,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	31	What aileth thee? and why art thou so disquieted? and why is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts of thine heart?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	32	And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did according to thy words, and I went into the field, and, lo, I have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	33	And he said unto me, Stand up manfully, and I will advise thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	34	Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me; only forsake me not, lest I die frustrate of my hope.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	35	For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not know.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	36	Or is my sense deceived, or my soul in a dream?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	37	Now therefore I beseech thee that thou wilt shew thy servant of this vision.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	38	He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid: for the Highest will reveal many secret things unto thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	39	He hath seen that thy way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	40	This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou lately sawest:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	41	Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to comfort her:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	42	But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	43	And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	44	This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	45	Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that she hath been thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there was no offering made in her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	46	But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	47	And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	48	But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	49	And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	50	For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	51	And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	52	For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	53	Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	54	For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building be able to stand.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	55	And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	56	And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may comprehend.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	57	For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	58	But to morrow at night thou shalt remain here;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	10	59	And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the high things, which the most High will do unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	1	Then saw I a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered wings, and three heads.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	2	And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, and were gathered together.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	3	And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little feathers and small.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	4	But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested it with the residue.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	5	Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	6	And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	7	And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	8	Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	9	But let the heads be preserved for the last.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	10	And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	11	And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, behold, there were eight of them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	12	And I looked, and, behold, on the right side there arose one feather, and reigned over all the earth;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	13	And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more: so the next following stood up. and reigned, and had a great time;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	14	And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	15	Then came there a voice unto it, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	16	Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	17	There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	18	Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	19	So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared no more.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	20	Then I beheld, and, lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	21	For some of them were set up, but ruled not.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	22	After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	23	And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	24	Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	25	And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	26	And I beheld, and, lo, there was one set up, but shortly it appeared no more.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	27	And the second was sooner away than the first.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	28	And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	29	And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	30	And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	31	And, behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and did eat up the two feathers under the wing that would have reigned.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	32	But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	33	And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	34	But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	35	And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	36	Then I head a voice, which said unto me, Look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	37	And I beheld, and lo, as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood: and I saw that he sent out a man's voice unto the eagle, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	38	Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	39	Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	40	And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	41	For the earth hast thou not judged with truth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	42	For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	43	Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto the Highest, and thy pride unto the Mighty.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	44	The Highest also hath looked upon the proud times, and, behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	45	And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor thy horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers nor thy malicious heads, nor thy hurtful claws, nor all thy vain body:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	11	46	That all the earth may be refreshed, and may return, being delivered from thy violence, and that she may hope for the judgment and mercy of him that made her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	1	And it came to pass, whiles the lion spake these words unto the eagle, I saw,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	2	And, behold, the head that remained and the four wings appeared no more, and the two went unto it and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small, and fill of uproar.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	3	And I saw, and, behold, they appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt so that the earth was in great fear: then awaked I out of the trouble and trance of my mind, and from great fear, and said unto my spirit,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	4	Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou searchest out the ways of the Highest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	5	Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me, for the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	6	Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that he will comfort me unto the end.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	7	And I said, Lord that bearest rule, if I have found grace before thy sight, and if I am justified with thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before thy face;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	8	Comfort me then, and shew me thy servant the interpretation and plain difference of this fearful vision, that thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	9	For thou hast judged me worthy to shew me the last times.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	10	And he said unto me, This is the interpretation of the vision:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	11	The eagle, whom thou sawest come up from the sea, is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	12	But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now I declare it unto thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	13	Behold, the days will come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	14	In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	15	Whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have more time than any of the twelve.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	16	And this do the twelve wings signify, which thou sawest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	17	As for the voice which thou heardest speak, and that thou sawest not to go out from the heads but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	18	That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise great strivings, and it shall stand in peril of failing: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to his beginning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	19	And whereas thou sawest the eight small under feathers sticking to her wings, this is the interpretation:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	20	That in him there shall arise eight kings, whose times shall be but small, and their years swift.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	21	And two of them shall perish, the middle time approaching: four shall be kept until their end begin to approach: but two shall be kept unto the end.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	22	And whereas thou sawest three heads resting, this is the interpretation:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	23	In his last days shall the most High raise up three kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they shall have the dominion of the earth,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	24	And of those that dwell therein, with much oppression, above all those that were before them: therefore are they called the heads of the eagle.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	25	For these are they that shall accomplish his wickedness, and that shall finish his last end.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	26	And whereas thou sawest that the great head appeared no more, it signifieth that one of them shall die upon his bed, and yet with pain.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	27	For the two that remain shall be slain with the sword.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	28	For the sword of the one shall devour the other: but at the last shall he fall through the sword himself.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	29	And whereas thou sawest two feathers under the wings passing over the head that is on the right side;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	30	It signifieth that these are they, whom the Highest hath kept unto their end: this is the small kingdom and full of trouble, as thou sawest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	31	And the lion, whom thou sawest rising up out of the wood, and roaring, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking her for her unrighteousness with all the words which thou hast heard;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	32	This is the anointed, which the Highest hath kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end: he shall reprove them, and shall upbraid them with their cruelty.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	33	For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and correct them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	34	For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been pressed upon my borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the day of judgment, whereof I have spoken unto thee from the the beginning.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	35	This is the dream that thou sawest, and these are the interpretations.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	36	Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	37	Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and hide them:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	38	And teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts thou knowest may comprehend and keep these secrets.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	39	But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	40	And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	41	What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	42	For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	43	Are not the evils which are come to us sufficient?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	44	If thou shalt forsake us, how much better had it been for us, if we also had been burned in the midst of Sion?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	45	For we are not better than they that died there. And they wept with a loud voice. Then answered I them, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	46	Be of good comfort, O Israel; and be not heavy, thou house of Jacob:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	47	For the Highest hath you in remembrance, and the Mighty hath not forgotten you in temptation.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	48	As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither am I departed from you: but am come into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your sanctuary.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	49	And now go your way home every man, and after these days will I come unto you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	50	So the people went their way into the city, like as I commanded them:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	12	51	But I remained still in the field seven days, as the angel commanded me; and did eat only in those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	1	And it came to pass after seven days, I dreamed a dream by night:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	2	And, lo, there arose a wind from the sea, that it moved all the waves thereof.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	3	And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed strong with the thousands of heaven: and when he turned his countenance to look, all the things trembled that were seen under him.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	4	And whensoever the voice went out of his mouth, all they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth when it feeleth the fire.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	5	And after this I beheld, and, lo, there was gathered together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four winds of the heaven, to subdue the man that came out of the sea
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	6	But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	7	But I would have seen the region or place whereout the hill was graven, and I could not.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	8	And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	9	And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	10	But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	11	And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	12	Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable Multitude.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	13	And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad, some were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some brought of them that were offered: then was I sick through great fear, and I awaked, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	14	Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest receive my prayer:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	15	Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	16	For as I conceive in mine understanding, woe unto them that shall be left in those days and much more woe unto them that are not left behind!
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	17	For they that were not left were in heaviness.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	18	Now understand I the things that are laid up in the latter days, which shall happen unto them, and to those that are left behind.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	19	Therefore are they come into great perils and many necessities, like as these dreams declare.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	20	Yet is it easier for him that is in danger to come into these things, than to pass away as a cloud out of the world, and not to see the things that happen in the last days. And he answered unto me, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	21	The interpretation of the vision shall I shew thee, and I will open unto thee the thing that thou hast required.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	22	Whereas thou hast spoken of them that are left behind, this is the interpretation:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	23	He that shall endure the peril in that time hath kept himself: they that be fallen into danger are such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	24	Know this therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	25	This is the meaning of the vision: Whereas thou sawest a man coming up from the midst of the sea:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	26	The same is he whom God the Highest hath kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	27	And whereas thou sawest, that out of his mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and storm;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	28	And that he held neither sword, nor any instrument of war, but that the rushing in of him destroyed the whole multitude that came to subdue him; this is the interpretation:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	29	Behold, the days come, when the most High will begin to deliver them that are upon the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	30	And he shall come to the astonishment of them that dwell on the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	31	And one shall undertake to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one realm against another.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	32	And the time shall be when these things shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen which I shewed thee before, and then shall my Son be declared, whom thou sawest as a man ascending.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	33	And when all the people hear his voice, every man shall in their own land leave the battle they have one against another.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	34	And an innumerable multitude shall be gathered together, as thou sawest them, willing to come, and to overcome him by fighting.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	35	But he shall stand upon the top of the mount Sion.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	36	And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	37	And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	38	And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	39	And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	40	Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	41	But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	42	That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	43	And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow places of the river.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	44	For the most High then shewed signs for them, and held still the flood, till they were passed over.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	45	For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arsareth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	46	Then dwelt they there until the latter time; and now when they shall begin to come,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	47	The Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, that they may go through: therefore sawest thou the multitude with peace.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	48	But those that be left behind of thy people are they that are found within my borders.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	49	Now when he destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend his people that remain.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	50	And then shall he shew them great wonders.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	51	Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, shew me this: Wherefore have I seen the man coming up from the midst of the sea?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	52	And he said unto me, Like as thou canst neither seek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the sea: even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the day time.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	53	This is the interpretation of the dream which thou sawest, and whereby thou only art here lightened.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	54	For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and applied thy diligence unto my law, and sought it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	55	Thy life hast thou ordered in wisdom, and hast called understanding thy mother.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	56	And therefore have I shewed thee the treasures of the Highest: after other three days I will speak other things unto thee, and declare unto thee mighty and wondrous things.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	57	Then went I forth into the field, giving praise and thanks greatly unto the most High because of his wonders which he did in time;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	13	58	And because he governeth the same, and such things as fall in their seasons: and there I sat three days.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	1	And it came to pass upon the third day, I sat under an oak, and, behold, there came a voice out of a bush over against me, and said, Esdras, Esdras.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	2	And I said, Here am I, Lord And I stood up upon my feet.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	3	Then said he unto me, In the bush I did manifestly reveal myself unto Moses, and talked with him, when my people served in Egypt:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	4	And I sent him and led my people out of Egypt, and brought him up to the mount of where I held him by me a long season,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	5	And told him many wondrous things, and shewed him the secrets of the times, and the end; and commanded him, saying,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	6	These words shalt thou declare, and these shalt thou hide.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	7	And now I say unto thee,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	8	That thou lay up in thy heart the signs that I have shewed, and the dreams that thou hast seen, and the interpretations which thou hast heard:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	9	For thou shalt be taken away from all, and from henceforth thou shalt remain with my Son, and with such as be like thee, until the times be ended.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	10	For the world hath lost his youth, and the times begin to wax old.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	11	For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	12	And there remaineth that which is after the half of the tenth part.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	13	Now therefore set thine house in order, and reprove thy people, comfort such of them as be in trouble, and now renounce corruption,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	14	Let go from thee mortal thoughts, cast away the burdens of man, put off now the weak nature,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	15	And set aside the thoughts that are most heavy unto thee, and haste thee to flee from these times.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	16	For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	17	For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	18	For the time is fled far away, and leasing is hard at hand: for now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seen.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	19	Then answered I before thee, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	20	Behold, Lord, I will go, as thou hast commanded me, and reprove the people which are present: but they that shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? thus the world is set in darkness, and they that dwell therein are without light.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	21	For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee, or the work that shall begin.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	22	But if I have found grace before thee, send the Holy Ghost into me, and I shall write all that hath been done in the world since the beginning, which were written in thy law, that men may find thy path, and that they which will live in the latter days may live.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	23	And he answered me, saying, Go thy way, gather the people together, and say unto them, that they seek thee not for forty days.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	24	But look thou prepare thee many box trees, and take with thee Sarea, Dabria, Selemia, Ecanus, and Asiel, these five which are ready to write swiftly;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	25	And come hither, and I shall light a candle of understanding in thine heart, which shall not be put out, till the things be performed which thou shalt begin to write.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	26	And when thou hast done, some things shalt thou publish, and some things shalt thou shew secretly to the wise: to morrow this hour shalt thou begin to write.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	27	Then went I forth, as he commanded, and gathered all the people together, and said,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	28	Hear these words, O Israel.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	29	Our fathers at the beginning were strangers in Egypt, from whence they were delivered:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	30	And received the law of life, which they kept not, which ye also have transgressed after them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	31	Then was the land, even the land of Sion, parted among you by lot: but your fathers, and ye yourselves, have done unrighteousness, and have not kept the ways which the Highest commanded you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	32	And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	33	And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	34	Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	35	For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	36	Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after me these forty days.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	37	So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	38	And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	39	Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of it was like fire.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	40	And I took it, and drank: and when I had drunk of it, my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for my spirit strengthened my memory:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	41	And my mouth was opened, and shut no more.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	42	The Highest gave understanding unto the five men, and they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that were told, which they knew not: and they sat forty days, and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	43	As for me. I spake in the day, and I held not my tongue by night.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	44	In forty days they wrote two hundred and four books.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	45	And it came to pass, when the forty days were filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	46	But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	47	For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	14	48	And I did so.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	1	Behold, speak thou in the ears of my people the words of prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth, saith the Lord:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	2	And cause them to be written in paper: for they are faithful and true.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	3	Fear not the imaginations against thee, let not the incredulity of them trouble thee, that speak against thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	4	For all the unfaithful shall die in their unfaithfulness.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	5	Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring plagues upon the world; the sword, famine, death, and destruction.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	6	For wickedness hath exceedingly polluted the whole earth, and their hurtful works are fulfilled.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	7	Therefore saith the Lord,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	8	I will hold my tongue no more as touching their wickedness, which they profanely commit, neither will I suffer them in those things, in which they wickedly exercise themselves: behold, the innocent and righteous blood crieth unto me, and the souls of the just complain continually.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	9	And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely avenge them, and receive unto me all the innocent blood from among them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	10	Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	11	But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land thereof.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	12	Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment that God shall bring upon it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	13	They that till the ground shall mourn: for their seeds shall fail through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful constellation.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	14	Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	15	For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	16	For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	17	A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	18	For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	19	A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	20	Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	21	Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	22	My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	23	The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	24	Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	25	I will not spare them: go your way, ye children, from the power, defile not my sanctuary.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	26	For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	27	For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	28	Behold an horrible vision, and the appearance thereof from the east:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	29	Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and the multitude of them shall be carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which hear them may fear and tremble.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	30	Also the Carmanians raging in wrath shall go forth as the wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they come, and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion of the land of the Assyrians.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	31	And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, remembering their nature; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring together in great power to persecute them,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	32	Then these shall be troubled bled, and keep silence through their power, and shall flee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	33	And from the land of the Assyrians shall the enemy besiege them, and consume some of them, and in their host shall be fear and dread, and strife among their kings.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	34	Behold clouds from the east and from the north unto the south, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	35	They shall smite one upon another, and they shall smite down a great multitude of stars upon the earth, even their own star; and blood shall be from the sword unto the belly,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	36	And dung of men unto the camel's hough.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	37	And there shall be great fearfulness and trembling upon earth: and they that see the wrath shall be afraid, and trembling shall come upon them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	38	And then shall there come great storms from the south, and from the north, and another part from the west.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	39	And strong winds shall arise from the east, and shall open it; and the cloud which he raised up in wrath, and the star stirred to cause fear toward the east and west wind, shall be destroyed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	40	The great and mighty clouds shall be puffed up full of wrath, and the star, that they may make all the earth afraid, and them that dwell therein; and they shall pour out over every high and eminent place an horrible star,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	41	Fire, and hail, and flying swords, and many waters, that all fields may be full, and all rivers, with the abundance of great waters.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	42	And they shall break down the cities and walls, mountains and hills, trees of the wood, and grass of the meadows, and their corn.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	43	And they shall go stedfastly unto Babylon, and make her afraid.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	44	They shall come to her, and besiege her, the star and all wrath shall they pour out upon her: then shall the dust and smoke go up unto the heaven, and all they that be about her shall bewail her.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	45	And they that remain under her shall do service unto them that have put her in fear.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	46	And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	47	Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her; and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	48	Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works and inventions: therefore saith God,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	49	I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	50	And the glory of thy Power shall be dried up as a flower, the heat shall arise that is sent over thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	51	Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	52	Would I with jealousy have so proceeded against thee, saith the Lord,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	53	If thou hadst not always slain my chosen, exalting the stroke of thine hands, and saying over their dead, when thou wast drunken,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	54	Set forth the beauty of thy countenance?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	55	The reward of thy whoredom shall be in thy bosom, therefore shalt thou receive recompence.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	56	Like as thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into mischief
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	57	Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shalt fall through the sword: thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine shall perish with the sword in the field.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	58	They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	59	Thou as unhappy shalt come through the sea, and receive plagues again.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	60	And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and shall destroy some portion of thy land, and consume part of thy glory, and shall return to Babylon that was destroyed.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	61	And thou shalt be cast down by them as stubble, and they shall be unto thee as fire;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	62	And shall consume thee, and thy cities, thy land, and thy mountains; all thy woods and thy fruitful trees shall they burn up with fire.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	15	63	Thy children shall they carry away captive, and, look, what thou hast, they shall spoil it, and mar the beauty of thy face.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	1	Woe be unto thee, Babylon, and Asia! woe be unto thee, Egypt and Syria!
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	2	Gird up yourselves with cloths of sack and hair, bewail your children, and be sorry; for your destruction is at hand.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	3	A sword is sent upon you, and who may turn it back?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	4	A fire is sent among you, and who may quench it?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	5	Plagues are sent unto you, and what is he that may drive them away?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	6	May any man drive away an hungry lion in the wood? or may any one quench the fire in stubble, when it hath begun to burn?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	7	May one turn again the arrow that is shot of a strong archer?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	8	The mighty Lord sendeth the plagues and who is he that can drive them away?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	9	A fire shall go forth from his wrath, and who is he that may quench it?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	10	He shall cast lightnings, and who shall not fear? he shall thunder, and who shall not be afraid?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	11	The Lord shall threaten, and who shall not be utterly beaten to powder at his presence?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	12	The earth quaketh, and the foundations thereof; the sea ariseth up with waves from the deep, and the waves of it are troubled, and the fishes thereof also, before the Lord, and before the glory of his power:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	13	For strong is his right hand that bendeth the bow, his arrows that he shooteth are sharp, and shall not miss, when they begin to be shot into the ends of the world.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	14	Behold, the plagues are sent, and shall not return again, until they come upon the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	15	The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume the foundation of the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	16	Like as an arrow which is shot of a mighty archer returneth not backward: even so the plagues that shall be sent upon earth shall not return again.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	17	Woe is me! woe is me! who will deliver me in those days?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	18	The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I do when these evils shall come?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	19	Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguish, are sent as scourges for amendment.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	20	But for all these things they shall not turn from their wickedness, nor be always mindful of the scourges.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	21	Behold, victuals shall be so good cheap upon earth, that they shall think themselves to be in good case, and even then shall evils grow upon earth, sword, famine, and great confusion.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	22	For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine; and the other, that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	23	And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be no man to comfort them: for the earth shall be wasted, and the cities shall be cast down.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	24	There shall be no man left to till the earth, and to sow it
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	25	The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather them?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	26	The grapes shall ripen, and who shall tread them? for all places shall be desolate of men:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	27	So that one man shall desire to see another, and to hear his voice.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	28	For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	29	As in an orchard of Olives upon every tree there are left three or four olives;
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	30	Or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left some clusters of them that diligently seek through the vineyard:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	31	Even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	32	And the earth shall be laid waste, and the fields thereof shall wax old, and her ways and all her paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel therethrough.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	33	The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, having no helpers.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	34	In the wars shall their bridegrooms be destroyed, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	35	Hear now these things and understand them, ye servants of the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	36	Behold, the word of the Lord, receive it: believe not the gods of whom the Lord spake.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	37	Behold, the plagues draw nigh, and are not slack.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	38	As when a woman with child in the ninth month bringeth forth her son, with two or three hours of her birth great pains compass her womb, which pains, when the child cometh forth, they slack not a moment:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	39	Even so shall not the plagues be slack to come upon the earth, and the world shall mourn, and sorrows shall come upon it on every side.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	40	O my people, hear my word: make you ready to thy battle, and in those evils be even as pilgrims upon the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	41	He that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away: and he that buyeth, as one that will lose:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	42	He that occupieth merchandise, as he that hath no profit by it: and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therein:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	43	He that soweth, as if he should not reap: so also he that planteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	44	They that marry, as they that shall get no children; and they that marry not, as the widowers.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	45	And therefore they that labour labour in vain:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	46	For strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captives, for in captivity and famine shall they get children.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	47	And they that occupy their merchandise with robbery, the more they deck their cities, their houses, their possessions, and their own persons:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	48	The more will I be angry with them for their sin, saith the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	49	Like as a whore envieth a right honest and virtuous woman:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	50	So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	51	And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the works thereof.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	52	For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	53	Let not the sinner say that he hath not sinned: for God shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before the Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	54	Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts:
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	55	Which spake but the word, Let the earth be made; and it was made: Let the heaven be made; and it was created.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	56	In his word were the stars made, and he knoweth the number of them.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	57	He searcheth the deep, and the treasures thereof; he hath measured the sea, and what it containeth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	58	He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	59	He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	60	In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	61	He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	62	Yea and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made all things, and searcheth out all hidden things in the secrets of the earth,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	63	Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	64	Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	65	And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that day.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	66	What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and his angels?
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	67	Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	68	For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	69	And they that consent unto them shall be had in derision and in reproach, and trodden under foot.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	70	For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	71	They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling and destroying those that fear the Lord.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	72	For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	73	Then shall they be known, who are my chosen; and they shall be tried as the gold in the fire.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	74	Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	75	Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for God is your guide,
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	76	And the guide of them who keep my commandments and precepts, saith the Lord God: let not your sins weigh you down, and let not your iniquities lift up themselves.
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	77	Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and covered with their iniquities like as a field is covered over with bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man may travel through!
2 Esdras	2Esd	80	16	78	It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be consumed therewith.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	1	The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	2	Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	3	And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	4	And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	5	And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	6	And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	7	And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	8	And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	9	And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	10	And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	11	And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon:
Matthew	Mat	40	1	12	And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	13	And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	14	And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	15	And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob;
Matthew	Mat	40	1	16	And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	17	So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	18	Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	19	Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	20	But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	21	And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	22	Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	1	23	Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Matthew	Mat	40	1	24	Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
Matthew	Mat	40	1	25	And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	1	Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Matthew	Mat	40	2	2	Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	3	When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	4	And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	5	And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
Matthew	Mat	40	2	6	And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	7	Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	8	And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	9	When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	10	When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	11	And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	12	And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	13	And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	14	When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
Matthew	Mat	40	2	15	And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	16	Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	17	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	2	18	In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	19	But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
Matthew	Mat	40	2	20	Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	21	And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	2	22	But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
Matthew	Mat	40	2	23	And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	1	In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,
Matthew	Mat	40	3	2	And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	3	For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	4	And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	5	Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
Matthew	Mat	40	3	6	And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	7	But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Matthew	Mat	40	3	8	Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
Matthew	Mat	40	3	9	And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	10	And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	11	I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
Matthew	Mat	40	3	12	Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	13	Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	14	But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Matthew	Mat	40	3	15	And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Matthew	Mat	40	3	16	And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Matthew	Mat	40	3	17	And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	1	Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	2	And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	3	And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	4	But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	5	Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Matthew	Mat	40	4	6	And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	7	Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	8	Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Matthew	Mat	40	4	9	And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	10	Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	11	Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	12	Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Matthew	Mat	40	4	13	And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
Matthew	Mat	40	4	14	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	4	15	The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
Matthew	Mat	40	4	16	The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	17	From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	18	And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	19	And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	20	And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	21	And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	22	And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	23	And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	24	And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
Matthew	Mat	40	4	25	And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	1	And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	2	And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	5	3	Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	4	Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	5	Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	6	Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	7	Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	8	Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	9	Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	10	Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	11	Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	12	Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	13	Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	14	Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	15	Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	16	Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	17	Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	18	For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	19	Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	20	For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	21	Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	22	But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	23	Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Matthew	Mat	40	5	24	Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	25	Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	26	Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	27	Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	28	But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	29	And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	30	And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	31	It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	32	But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	33	Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	34	But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	35	Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	36	Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	37	But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	38	Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
Matthew	Mat	40	5	39	But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	40	And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	41	And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	42	Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	43	Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	44	But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew	Mat	40	5	45	That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew	Mat	40	5	46	For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Matthew	Mat	40	5	47	And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
Matthew	Mat	40	5	48	Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	1	Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	2	Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	3	But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Matthew	Mat	40	6	4	That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	5	And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	6	But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	7	But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	8	Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	9	After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	10	Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	11	Give us this day our daily bread.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	12	And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	13	And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	14	For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Matthew	Mat	40	6	15	But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	16	Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	17	But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Matthew	Mat	40	6	18	That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	19	Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Matthew	Mat	40	6	20	But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew	Mat	40	6	21	For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	22	The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	23	But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew	Mat	40	6	24	No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	25	Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Matthew	Mat	40	6	26	Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Matthew	Mat	40	6	27	Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Matthew	Mat	40	6	28	And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Matthew	Mat	40	6	29	And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	30	Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Matthew	Mat	40	6	31	Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Matthew	Mat	40	6	32	(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	33	But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew	Mat	40	6	34	Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	1	Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	2	For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	3	And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	4	Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	5	Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	6	Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	7	Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew	Mat	40	7	8	For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	9	Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	10	Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	11	If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	12	Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	13	Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew	Mat	40	7	14	Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	15	Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	16	Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	17	Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	18	A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	19	Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	20	Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	21	Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	22	Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew	Mat	40	7	23	And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	24	Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Matthew	Mat	40	7	25	And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	26	And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Matthew	Mat	40	7	27	And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Matthew	Mat	40	7	28	And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
Matthew	Mat	40	7	29	For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	1	When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	2	And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	3	And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	4	And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	5	And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Matthew	Mat	40	8	6	And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	7	And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	8	The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	9	For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	10	When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	11	And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	12	But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	13	And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	14	And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	15	And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	16	When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
Matthew	Mat	40	8	17	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	18	Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	19	And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	20	And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	21	And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	22	But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	23	And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	24	And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	25	And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	26	And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	27	But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
Matthew	Mat	40	8	28	And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	29	And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
Matthew	Mat	40	8	30	And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	31	So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	32	And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	33	And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
Matthew	Mat	40	8	34	And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	1	And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	2	And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	3	And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	4	And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
Matthew	Mat	40	9	5	For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
Matthew	Mat	40	9	6	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	7	And he arose, and departed to his house.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	8	But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	9	And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	10	And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	11	And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
Matthew	Mat	40	9	12	But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	13	But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	14	Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
Matthew	Mat	40	9	15	And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	16	No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	17	Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	18	While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	19	And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	20	And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
Matthew	Mat	40	9	21	For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	22	But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	23	And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
Matthew	Mat	40	9	24	He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	25	But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	26	And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	27	And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	28	And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	29	Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	30	And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	31	But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	32	As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	33	And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	34	But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	35	And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	36	But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew	Mat	40	9	37	Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
Matthew	Mat	40	9	38	Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	1	And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	2	Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Matthew	Mat	40	10	3	Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
Matthew	Mat	40	10	4	Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	5	These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
Matthew	Mat	40	10	6	But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	7	And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	8	Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	9	Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
Matthew	Mat	40	10	10	Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	11	And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	12	And when ye come into an house, salute it.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	13	And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	14	And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	15	Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	16	Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	17	But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Matthew	Mat	40	10	18	And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	19	But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	20	For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	21	And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	22	And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	23	But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	24	The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	25	It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Matthew	Mat	40	10	26	Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	27	What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	28	And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	29	Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	30	But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	31	Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	32	Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	33	But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	34	Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	35	For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	36	And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	37	He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	38	And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	39	He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	40	He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	41	He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
Matthew	Mat	40	10	42	And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	1	And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	2	Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
Matthew	Mat	40	11	3	And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?
Matthew	Mat	40	11	4	Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:
Matthew	Mat	40	11	5	The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	6	And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	7	And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Matthew	Mat	40	11	8	But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	9	But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	10	For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	11	Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	12	And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	13	For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	14	And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	15	He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	16	But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
Matthew	Mat	40	11	17	And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	18	For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	19	The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	20	Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:
Matthew	Mat	40	11	21	Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	22	But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	23	And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	24	But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	25	At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	26	Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	27	All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	28	Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	29	Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Matthew	Mat	40	11	30	For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	1	At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	2	But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	3	But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;
Matthew	Mat	40	12	4	How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	5	Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	6	But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	7	But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	8	For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	9	And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
Matthew	Mat	40	12	10	And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	11	And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	12	How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	13	Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	14	Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	15	But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
Matthew	Mat	40	12	16	And charged them that they should not make him known:
Matthew	Mat	40	12	17	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	12	18	Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	19	He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	20	A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	21	And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	22	Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	23	And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	24	But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	25	And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew	Mat	40	12	26	And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	27	And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	28	But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	29	Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	30	He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	31	Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	32	And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	33	Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	34	O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	35	A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	36	But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	37	For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	38	Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	39	But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
Matthew	Mat	40	12	40	For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	41	The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	42	The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	43	When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	44	Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	45	Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	46	While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	47	Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	12	48	But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Matthew	Mat	40	12	49	And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Matthew	Mat	40	12	50	For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	1	The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	2	And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	3	And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
Matthew	Mat	40	13	4	And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	5	Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	6	And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	7	And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	8	But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	9	Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	10	And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	11	He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	12	For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	13	Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	14	And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	15	For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	16	But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	17	For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	18	Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	19	When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	20	But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Matthew	Mat	40	13	21	Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	22	He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	23	But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	24	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	25	But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	26	But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	27	So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	28	He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	29	But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	30	Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	31	Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	32	Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	33	Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	34	All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	35	That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	36	Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	37	He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Matthew	Mat	40	13	38	The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Matthew	Mat	40	13	39	The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	40	As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	41	The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Matthew	Mat	40	13	42	And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	43	Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	44	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	45	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	46	Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	47	Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
Matthew	Mat	40	13	48	Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	49	So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,
Matthew	Mat	40	13	50	And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	51	Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	52	Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	53	And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	54	And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	55	Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	56	And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?
Matthew	Mat	40	13	57	And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Matthew	Mat	40	13	58	And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	1	At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,
Matthew	Mat	40	14	2	And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	3	For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	4	For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	5	And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	6	But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	7	Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	8	And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	9	And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	10	And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	11	And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	12	And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	13	When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	14	And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	15	And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	16	But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	17	And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	18	He said, Bring them hither to me.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	19	And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	20	And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	21	And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	22	And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	23	And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	24	But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	25	And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	26	And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	27	But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	28	And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	29	And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	30	But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	31	And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Matthew	Mat	40	14	32	And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	33	Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	34	And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
Matthew	Mat	40	14	35	And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;
Matthew	Mat	40	14	36	And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	1	Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	15	2	Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	3	But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Matthew	Mat	40	15	4	For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	5	But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
Matthew	Mat	40	15	6	And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	7	Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	15	8	This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	9	But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	10	And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand:
Matthew	Mat	40	15	11	Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	12	Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?
Matthew	Mat	40	15	13	But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	14	Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	15	Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	16	And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Matthew	Mat	40	15	17	Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
Matthew	Mat	40	15	18	But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	19	For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Matthew	Mat	40	15	20	These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	21	Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	22	And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	23	But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	24	But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	25	Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	26	But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	27	And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	28	Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	29	And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	30	And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:
Matthew	Mat	40	15	31	Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	32	Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	33	And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
Matthew	Mat	40	15	34	And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	35	And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	36	And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	37	And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	38	And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Matthew	Mat	40	15	39	And he sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	1	The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	2	He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	3	And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	4	A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	5	And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	6	Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	7	And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	8	Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	9	Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	10	Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	11	How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	12	Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	13	When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	14	And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	15	He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	16	And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	17	And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	18	And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	19	And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	20	Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	21	From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	22	Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	23	But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	24	Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	25	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	26	For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew	Mat	40	16	27	For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Matthew	Mat	40	16	28	Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	1	And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Matthew	Mat	40	17	2	And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	3	And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	4	Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	5	While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	6	And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	7	And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	8	And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	9	And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	10	And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Matthew	Mat	40	17	11	And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	12	But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	13	Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	14	And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	17	15	Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	16	And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	17	Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	18	And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	19	Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
Matthew	Mat	40	17	20	And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	21	Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	22	And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
Matthew	Mat	40	17	23	And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	24	And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
Matthew	Mat	40	17	25	He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?
Matthew	Mat	40	17	26	Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
Matthew	Mat	40	17	27	Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	1	At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
Matthew	Mat	40	18	2	And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
Matthew	Mat	40	18	3	And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	4	Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	5	And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	6	But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	7	Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
Matthew	Mat	40	18	8	Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	9	And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	10	Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	11	For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	12	How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
Matthew	Mat	40	18	13	And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	14	Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	15	Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	16	But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	17	And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	18	Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	19	Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	20	For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	21	Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Matthew	Mat	40	18	22	Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	23	Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	24	And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	25	But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	26	The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	27	Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	28	But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	29	And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	30	And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	31	So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	32	Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Matthew	Mat	40	18	33	Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	18	34	And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Matthew	Mat	40	18	35	So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	1	And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;
Matthew	Mat	40	19	2	And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	3	The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	4	And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
Matthew	Mat	40	19	5	And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	6	Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	7	They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	8	He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	9	And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	10	His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	11	But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	12	For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	13	Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	14	But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	15	And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	16	And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	17	And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	18	He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Matthew	Mat	40	19	19	Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	20	The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	21	Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	22	But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	23	Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	24	And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	25	When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	26	But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	27	Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
Matthew	Mat	40	19	28	And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	29	And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
Matthew	Mat	40	19	30	But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	1	For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	2	And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	3	And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Matthew	Mat	40	20	4	And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	5	Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	6	And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Matthew	Mat	40	20	7	They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	8	So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	9	And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	10	But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	11	And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Matthew	Mat	40	20	12	Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	13	But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Matthew	Mat	40	20	14	Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	15	Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Matthew	Mat	40	20	16	So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	17	And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them,
Matthew	Mat	40	20	18	Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,
Matthew	Mat	40	20	19	And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	20	Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	21	And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	22	But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	23	And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	24	And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	25	But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	26	But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;
Matthew	Mat	40	20	27	And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
Matthew	Mat	40	20	28	Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	29	And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	30	And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	31	And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou son of David.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	32	And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
Matthew	Mat	40	20	33	They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
Matthew	Mat	40	20	34	So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	1	And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
Matthew	Mat	40	21	2	Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	3	And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	4	All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	21	5	Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	6	And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Matthew	Mat	40	21	7	And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	8	And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	9	And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	10	And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	11	And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	12	And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
Matthew	Mat	40	21	13	And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	14	And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	15	And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
Matthew	Mat	40	21	16	And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	17	And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	18	Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	19	And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	20	And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Matthew	Mat	40	21	21	Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	22	And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	23	And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	24	And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	25	The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	26	But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	27	And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	28	But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	29	He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	30	And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	31	Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	32	For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	33	Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
Matthew	Mat	40	21	34	And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	35	And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	36	Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	37	But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	38	But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	39	And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	40	When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	41	They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	42	Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Matthew	Mat	40	21	43	Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	44	And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	45	And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
Matthew	Mat	40	21	46	But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	1	And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	2	The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	3	And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	4	Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	5	But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew	Mat	40	22	6	And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	7	But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	8	Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	9	Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	10	So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	11	And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:
Matthew	Mat	40	22	12	And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	13	Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	14	For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	15	Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	16	And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	17	Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	18	But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	19	Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	20	And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	21	They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	22	When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	23	The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	24	Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	25	Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother:
Matthew	Mat	40	22	26	Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	27	And last of all the woman died also.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	28	Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	29	Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	30	For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	31	But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	32	I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	33	And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	34	But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	35	Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	36	Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	37	Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	38	This is the first and great commandment.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	39	And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	40	On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	41	While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	42	Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Matthew	Mat	40	22	43	He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew	Mat	40	22	44	The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	45	If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Matthew	Mat	40	22	46	And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	1	Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
Matthew	Mat	40	23	2	Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
Matthew	Mat	40	23	3	All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	4	For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	5	But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
Matthew	Mat	40	23	6	And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
Matthew	Mat	40	23	7	And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	8	But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	9	And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	10	Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	11	But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	12	And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	13	But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	14	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	15	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	16	Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
Matthew	Mat	40	23	17	Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Matthew	Mat	40	23	18	And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	19	Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
Matthew	Mat	40	23	20	Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	21	And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	22	And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	23	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	24	Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	25	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	26	Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	27	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	28	Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	29	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
Matthew	Mat	40	23	30	And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	31	Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	32	Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	33	Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
Matthew	Mat	40	23	34	Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Matthew	Mat	40	23	35	That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	36	Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	37	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Matthew	Mat	40	23	38	Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Matthew	Mat	40	23	39	For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	1	And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	2	And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	3	And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Matthew	Mat	40	24	4	And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	5	For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	6	And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	7	For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	8	All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	9	Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	10	And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	11	And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	12	And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	13	But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	14	And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	15	When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
Matthew	Mat	40	24	16	Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Matthew	Mat	40	24	17	Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
Matthew	Mat	40	24	18	Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	19	And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Matthew	Mat	40	24	20	But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
Matthew	Mat	40	24	21	For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	22	And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	23	Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	24	For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	25	Behold, I have told you before.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	26	Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	27	For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	28	For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	29	Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Matthew	Mat	40	24	30	And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	31	And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	32	Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Matthew	Mat	40	24	33	So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	34	Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	35	Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	36	But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	37	But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	38	For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew	Mat	40	24	39	And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	40	Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	41	Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	42	Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	43	But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	44	Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	45	Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
Matthew	Mat	40	24	46	Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	47	Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
Matthew	Mat	40	24	48	But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
Matthew	Mat	40	24	49	And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
Matthew	Mat	40	24	50	The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Matthew	Mat	40	24	51	And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	1	Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	2	And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	3	They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	4	But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	5	While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	6	And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	7	Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	8	And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	9	But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	10	And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	11	Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	12	But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	13	Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	14	For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	15	And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	16	Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	17	And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	18	But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	19	After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	20	And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	21	His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	22	He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	23	His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	24	Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	25	And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	26	His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	27	Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	28	Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	29	For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	30	And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	31	When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	32	And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	33	And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	34	Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	35	For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	36	Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	37	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
Matthew	Mat	40	25	38	When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	25	39	Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	25	40	And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	41	Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	42	For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
Matthew	Mat	40	25	43	I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	44	Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	25	45	Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
Matthew	Mat	40	25	46	And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	1	And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	2	Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	3	Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	4	And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	5	But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	6	Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	7	There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	8	But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	9	For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	10	When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	11	For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	12	For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	13	Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	14	Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	15	And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	16	And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	17	Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	18	And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	19	And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	20	Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	21	And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	22	And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	23	And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	24	The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	25	Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	26	And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	27	And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
Matthew	Mat	40	26	28	For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	29	But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	30	And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	31	Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	32	But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	33	Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	34	Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	35	Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	36	Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	37	And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	38	Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	39	And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	40	And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	41	Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	42	He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	43	And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	44	And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	45	Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	46	Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	47	And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	48	Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	49	And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	50	And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	51	And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	52	Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	53	Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	54	But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	55	In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	56	But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	57	And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	58	But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	59	Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
Matthew	Mat	40	26	60	But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	61	And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	62	And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	63	But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	64	Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	65	Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	66	What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	67	Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
Matthew	Mat	40	26	68	Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	26	69	Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	70	But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	71	And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	72	And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	73	And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	74	Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
Matthew	Mat	40	26	75	And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	1	When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
Matthew	Mat	40	27	2	And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	3	Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	4	Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	5	And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	6	And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	7	And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	8	Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	9	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
Matthew	Mat	40	27	10	And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	11	And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	12	And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	13	Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
Matthew	Mat	40	27	14	And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	15	Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	16	And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	17	Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
Matthew	Mat	40	27	18	For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	19	When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	20	But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	21	The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	22	Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	23	And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	24	When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	25	Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	26	Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	27	Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	28	And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	29	And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Matthew	Mat	40	27	30	And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	31	And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	32	And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	33	And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	34	They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	35	And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	36	And sitting down they watched him there;
Matthew	Mat	40	27	37	And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	38	Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	39	And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	40	And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	41	Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	42	He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	43	He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	44	The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	45	Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	46	And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Matthew	Mat	40	27	47	Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	48	And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	49	The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	50	Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	51	And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
Matthew	Mat	40	27	52	And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	53	And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	54	Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	55	And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
Matthew	Mat	40	27	56	Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	57	When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
Matthew	Mat	40	27	58	He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	59	And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	60	And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	61	And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	62	Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
Matthew	Mat	40	27	63	Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	64	Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	65	Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
Matthew	Mat	40	27	66	So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	1	In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	2	And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	3	His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
Matthew	Mat	40	28	4	And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	5	And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	6	He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	7	And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	8	And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	9	And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	10	Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	11	Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	12	And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
Matthew	Mat	40	28	13	Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	14	And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	15	So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	16	Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	17	And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	18	And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Matthew	Mat	40	28	19	Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew	Mat	40	28	20	Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark	Mark	41	1	1	The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Mark	Mark	41	1	2	As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mark	Mark	41	1	3	The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Mark	Mark	41	1	4	John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark	Mark	41	1	5	And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
Mark	Mark	41	1	6	And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
Mark	Mark	41	1	7	And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
Mark	Mark	41	1	8	I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
Mark	Mark	41	1	9	And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Mark	Mark	41	1	10	And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
Mark	Mark	41	1	11	And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark	Mark	41	1	12	And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
Mark	Mark	41	1	13	And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	14	Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
Mark	Mark	41	1	15	And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Mark	Mark	41	1	16	Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Mark	Mark	41	1	17	And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Mark	Mark	41	1	18	And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	19	And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
Mark	Mark	41	1	20	And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	21	And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
Mark	Mark	41	1	22	And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark	Mark	41	1	23	And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Mark	Mark	41	1	24	Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
Mark	Mark	41	1	25	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	26	And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	27	And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	28	And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
Mark	Mark	41	1	29	And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Mark	Mark	41	1	30	But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
Mark	Mark	41	1	31	And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	1	32	And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
Mark	Mark	41	1	33	And all the city was gathered together at the door.
Mark	Mark	41	1	34	And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	35	And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
Mark	Mark	41	1	36	And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
Mark	Mark	41	1	37	And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
Mark	Mark	41	1	38	And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
Mark	Mark	41	1	39	And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
Mark	Mark	41	1	40	And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Mark	Mark	41	1	41	And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
Mark	Mark	41	1	42	And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
Mark	Mark	41	1	43	And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
Mark	Mark	41	1	44	And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	1	45	But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
Mark	Mark	41	2	1	And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
Mark	Mark	41	2	2	And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	2	3	And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Mark	Mark	41	2	4	And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
Mark	Mark	41	2	5	When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
Mark	Mark	41	2	6	But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mark	Mark	41	2	7	Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
Mark	Mark	41	2	8	And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
Mark	Mark	41	2	9	Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Mark	Mark	41	2	10	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Mark	Mark	41	2	11	I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
Mark	Mark	41	2	12	And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.
Mark	Mark	41	2	13	And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.
Mark	Mark	41	2	14	And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.
Mark	Mark	41	2	15	And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.
Mark	Mark	41	2	16	And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
Mark	Mark	41	2	17	When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Mark	Mark	41	2	18	And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?
Mark	Mark	41	2	19	And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mark	Mark	41	2	20	But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Mark	Mark	41	2	21	No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
Mark	Mark	41	2	22	And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Mark	Mark	41	2	23	And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
Mark	Mark	41	2	24	And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
Mark	Mark	41	2	25	And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
Mark	Mark	41	2	26	How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?
Mark	Mark	41	2	27	And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:
Mark	Mark	41	2	28	Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Mark	Mark	41	3	1	And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
Mark	Mark	41	3	2	And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	3	And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
Mark	Mark	41	3	4	And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.
Mark	Mark	41	3	5	And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Mark	Mark	41	3	6	And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	7	But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
Mark	Mark	41	3	8	And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	9	And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	10	For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
Mark	Mark	41	3	11	And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
Mark	Mark	41	3	12	And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
Mark	Mark	41	3	13	And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	14	And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
Mark	Mark	41	3	15	And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
Mark	Mark	41	3	16	And Simon he surnamed Peter;
Mark	Mark	41	3	17	And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
Mark	Mark	41	3	18	And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
Mark	Mark	41	3	19	And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
Mark	Mark	41	3	20	And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
Mark	Mark	41	3	21	And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
Mark	Mark	41	3	22	And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
Mark	Mark	41	3	23	And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Mark	Mark	41	3	24	And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
Mark	Mark	41	3	25	And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Mark	Mark	41	3	26	And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
Mark	Mark	41	3	27	No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Mark	Mark	41	3	28	Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
Mark	Mark	41	3	29	But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:
Mark	Mark	41	3	30	Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
Mark	Mark	41	3	31	There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mark	Mark	41	3	32	And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mark	Mark	41	3	33	And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
Mark	Mark	41	3	34	And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mark	Mark	41	3	35	For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
Mark	Mark	41	4	1	And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
Mark	Mark	41	4	2	And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
Mark	Mark	41	4	3	Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
Mark	Mark	41	4	4	And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
Mark	Mark	41	4	5	And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
Mark	Mark	41	4	6	But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
Mark	Mark	41	4	7	And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Mark	Mark	41	4	8	And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark	Mark	41	4	9	And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark	Mark	41	4	10	And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
Mark	Mark	41	4	11	And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:
Mark	Mark	41	4	12	That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Mark	Mark	41	4	13	And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?
Mark	Mark	41	4	14	The sower soweth the word.
Mark	Mark	41	4	15	And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Mark	Mark	41	4	16	And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
Mark	Mark	41	4	17	And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
Mark	Mark	41	4	18	And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
Mark	Mark	41	4	19	And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.
Mark	Mark	41	4	20	And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.
Mark	Mark	41	4	21	And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
Mark	Mark	41	4	22	For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Mark	Mark	41	4	23	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark	Mark	41	4	24	And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
Mark	Mark	41	4	25	For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
Mark	Mark	41	4	26	And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
Mark	Mark	41	4	27	And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
Mark	Mark	41	4	28	For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
Mark	Mark	41	4	29	But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
Mark	Mark	41	4	30	And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mark	Mark	41	4	31	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
Mark	Mark	41	4	32	But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Mark	Mark	41	4	33	And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
Mark	Mark	41	4	34	But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.
Mark	Mark	41	4	35	And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
Mark	Mark	41	4	36	And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
Mark	Mark	41	4	37	And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
Mark	Mark	41	4	38	And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
Mark	Mark	41	4	39	And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark	Mark	41	4	40	And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
Mark	Mark	41	4	41	And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mark	Mark	41	5	1	And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Mark	Mark	41	5	2	And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
Mark	Mark	41	5	3	Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
Mark	Mark	41	5	4	Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
Mark	Mark	41	5	5	And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Mark	Mark	41	5	6	But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
Mark	Mark	41	5	7	And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.
Mark	Mark	41	5	8	For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
Mark	Mark	41	5	9	And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
Mark	Mark	41	5	10	And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
Mark	Mark	41	5	11	Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
Mark	Mark	41	5	12	And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
Mark	Mark	41	5	13	And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
Mark	Mark	41	5	14	And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
Mark	Mark	41	5	15	And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Mark	Mark	41	5	16	And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
Mark	Mark	41	5	17	And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
Mark	Mark	41	5	18	And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.
Mark	Mark	41	5	19	Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
Mark	Mark	41	5	20	And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.
Mark	Mark	41	5	21	And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
Mark	Mark	41	5	22	And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
Mark	Mark	41	5	23	And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
Mark	Mark	41	5	24	And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
Mark	Mark	41	5	25	And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mark	Mark	41	5	26	And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
Mark	Mark	41	5	27	When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
Mark	Mark	41	5	28	For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
Mark	Mark	41	5	29	And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
Mark	Mark	41	5	30	And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
Mark	Mark	41	5	31	And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Mark	Mark	41	5	32	And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
Mark	Mark	41	5	33	But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Mark	Mark	41	5	34	And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
Mark	Mark	41	5	35	While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
Mark	Mark	41	5	36	As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
Mark	Mark	41	5	37	And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
Mark	Mark	41	5	38	And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Mark	Mark	41	5	39	And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
Mark	Mark	41	5	40	And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
Mark	Mark	41	5	41	And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
Mark	Mark	41	5	42	And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Mark	Mark	41	5	43	And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Mark	Mark	41	6	1	And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
Mark	Mark	41	6	2	And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
Mark	Mark	41	6	3	Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
Mark	Mark	41	6	4	But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
Mark	Mark	41	6	5	And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Mark	Mark	41	6	6	And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Mark	Mark	41	6	7	And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
Mark	Mark	41	6	8	And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
Mark	Mark	41	6	9	But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
Mark	Mark	41	6	10	And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
Mark	Mark	41	6	11	And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Mark	Mark	41	6	12	And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
Mark	Mark	41	6	13	And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
Mark	Mark	41	6	14	And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
Mark	Mark	41	6	15	Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
Mark	Mark	41	6	16	But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
Mark	Mark	41	6	17	For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
Mark	Mark	41	6	18	For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
Mark	Mark	41	6	19	Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
Mark	Mark	41	6	20	For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
Mark	Mark	41	6	21	And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
Mark	Mark	41	6	22	And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
Mark	Mark	41	6	23	And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
Mark	Mark	41	6	24	And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
Mark	Mark	41	6	25	And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
Mark	Mark	41	6	26	And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
Mark	Mark	41	6	27	And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
Mark	Mark	41	6	28	And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
Mark	Mark	41	6	29	And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
Mark	Mark	41	6	30	And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
Mark	Mark	41	6	31	And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
Mark	Mark	41	6	32	And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
Mark	Mark	41	6	33	And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
Mark	Mark	41	6	34	And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
Mark	Mark	41	6	35	And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
Mark	Mark	41	6	36	Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
Mark	Mark	41	6	37	He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
Mark	Mark	41	6	38	He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
Mark	Mark	41	6	39	And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
Mark	Mark	41	6	40	And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
Mark	Mark	41	6	41	And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
Mark	Mark	41	6	42	And they did all eat, and were filled.
Mark	Mark	41	6	43	And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
Mark	Mark	41	6	44	And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
Mark	Mark	41	6	45	And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
Mark	Mark	41	6	46	And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
Mark	Mark	41	6	47	And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
Mark	Mark	41	6	48	And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
Mark	Mark	41	6	49	But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
Mark	Mark	41	6	50	For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
Mark	Mark	41	6	51	And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
Mark	Mark	41	6	52	For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
Mark	Mark	41	6	53	And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
Mark	Mark	41	6	54	And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
Mark	Mark	41	6	55	And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
Mark	Mark	41	6	56	And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
Mark	Mark	41	7	1	Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
Mark	Mark	41	7	2	And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
Mark	Mark	41	7	3	For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
Mark	Mark	41	7	4	And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
Mark	Mark	41	7	5	Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
Mark	Mark	41	7	6	He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mark	Mark	41	7	7	Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Mark	Mark	41	7	8	For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
Mark	Mark	41	7	9	And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
Mark	Mark	41	7	10	For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Mark	Mark	41	7	11	But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mark	Mark	41	7	12	And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
Mark	Mark	41	7	13	Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
Mark	Mark	41	7	14	And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
Mark	Mark	41	7	15	There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
Mark	Mark	41	7	16	If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark	Mark	41	7	17	And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
Mark	Mark	41	7	18	And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;
Mark	Mark	41	7	19	Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
Mark	Mark	41	7	20	And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
Mark	Mark	41	7	21	For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
Mark	Mark	41	7	22	Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
Mark	Mark	41	7	23	All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark	Mark	41	7	24	And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.
Mark	Mark	41	7	25	For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
Mark	Mark	41	7	26	The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
Mark	Mark	41	7	27	But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
Mark	Mark	41	7	28	And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Mark	Mark	41	7	29	And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
Mark	Mark	41	7	30	And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Mark	Mark	41	7	31	And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.
Mark	Mark	41	7	32	And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.
Mark	Mark	41	7	33	And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;
Mark	Mark	41	7	34	And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
Mark	Mark	41	7	35	And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
Mark	Mark	41	7	36	And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;
Mark	Mark	41	7	37	And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
Mark	Mark	41	8	1	In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
Mark	Mark	41	8	2	I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mark	Mark	41	8	3	And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
Mark	Mark	41	8	4	And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
Mark	Mark	41	8	5	And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Mark	Mark	41	8	6	And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
Mark	Mark	41	8	7	And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
Mark	Mark	41	8	8	So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
Mark	Mark	41	8	9	And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Mark	Mark	41	8	10	And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mark	Mark	41	8	11	And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Mark	Mark	41	8	12	And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Mark	Mark	41	8	13	And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
Mark	Mark	41	8	14	Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
Mark	Mark	41	8	15	And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mark	Mark	41	8	16	And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Mark	Mark	41	8	17	And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
Mark	Mark	41	8	18	Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Mark	Mark	41	8	19	When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
Mark	Mark	41	8	20	And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
Mark	Mark	41	8	21	And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
Mark	Mark	41	8	22	And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Mark	Mark	41	8	23	And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mark	Mark	41	8	24	And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Mark	Mark	41	8	25	After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Mark	Mark	41	8	26	And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
Mark	Mark	41	8	27	And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
Mark	Mark	41	8	28	And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
Mark	Mark	41	8	29	And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Mark	Mark	41	8	30	And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Mark	Mark	41	8	31	And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark	Mark	41	8	32	And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
Mark	Mark	41	8	33	But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Mark	Mark	41	8	34	And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mark	Mark	41	8	35	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mark	Mark	41	8	36	For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark	Mark	41	8	37	Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark	Mark	41	8	38	Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mark	Mark	41	9	1	And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the kingdom of God come with power.
Mark	Mark	41	9	2	And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.
Mark	Mark	41	9	3	And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.
Mark	Mark	41	9	4	And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.
Mark	Mark	41	9	5	And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mark	Mark	41	9	6	For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
Mark	Mark	41	9	7	And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Mark	Mark	41	9	8	And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
Mark	Mark	41	9	9	And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.
Mark	Mark	41	9	10	And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.
Mark	Mark	41	9	11	And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Mark	Mark	41	9	12	And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
Mark	Mark	41	9	13	But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
Mark	Mark	41	9	14	And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
Mark	Mark	41	9	15	And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
Mark	Mark	41	9	16	And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
Mark	Mark	41	9	17	And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Mark	Mark	41	9	18	And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
Mark	Mark	41	9	19	He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
Mark	Mark	41	9	20	And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
Mark	Mark	41	9	21	And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
Mark	Mark	41	9	22	And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Mark	Mark	41	9	23	Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Mark	Mark	41	9	24	And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
Mark	Mark	41	9	25	When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
Mark	Mark	41	9	26	And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
Mark	Mark	41	9	27	But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
Mark	Mark	41	9	28	And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
Mark	Mark	41	9	29	And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
Mark	Mark	41	9	30	And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
Mark	Mark	41	9	31	For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
Mark	Mark	41	9	32	But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
Mark	Mark	41	9	33	And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
Mark	Mark	41	9	34	But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
Mark	Mark	41	9	35	And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
Mark	Mark	41	9	36	And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
Mark	Mark	41	9	37	Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Mark	Mark	41	9	38	And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
Mark	Mark	41	9	39	But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
Mark	Mark	41	9	40	For he that is not against us is on our part.
Mark	Mark	41	9	41	For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
Mark	Mark	41	9	42	And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Mark	Mark	41	9	43	And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark	Mark	41	9	44	Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark	Mark	41	9	45	And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Mark	Mark	41	9	46	Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark	Mark	41	9	47	And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Mark	Mark	41	9	48	Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mark	Mark	41	9	49	For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
Mark	Mark	41	9	50	Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Mark	Mark	41	10	1	And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
Mark	Mark	41	10	2	And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
Mark	Mark	41	10	3	And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
Mark	Mark	41	10	4	And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
Mark	Mark	41	10	5	And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
Mark	Mark	41	10	6	But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
Mark	Mark	41	10	7	For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
Mark	Mark	41	10	8	And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
Mark	Mark	41	10	9	What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
Mark	Mark	41	10	10	And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
Mark	Mark	41	10	11	And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
Mark	Mark	41	10	12	And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Mark	Mark	41	10	13	And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
Mark	Mark	41	10	14	But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Mark	Mark	41	10	15	Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Mark	Mark	41	10	16	And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Mark	Mark	41	10	17	And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
Mark	Mark	41	10	18	And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Mark	Mark	41	10	19	Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
Mark	Mark	41	10	20	And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
Mark	Mark	41	10	21	Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mark	Mark	41	10	22	And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
Mark	Mark	41	10	23	And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark	Mark	41	10	24	And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
Mark	Mark	41	10	25	It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Mark	Mark	41	10	26	And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
Mark	Mark	41	10	27	And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mark	Mark	41	10	28	Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
Mark	Mark	41	10	29	And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,
Mark	Mark	41	10	30	But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.
Mark	Mark	41	10	31	But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
Mark	Mark	41	10	32	And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,
Mark	Mark	41	10	33	Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
Mark	Mark	41	10	34	And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
Mark	Mark	41	10	35	And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.
Mark	Mark	41	10	36	And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
Mark	Mark	41	10	37	They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.
Mark	Mark	41	10	38	But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
Mark	Mark	41	10	39	And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Mark	Mark	41	10	40	But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared.
Mark	Mark	41	10	41	And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John.
Mark	Mark	41	10	42	But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.
Mark	Mark	41	10	43	But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
Mark	Mark	41	10	44	And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
Mark	Mark	41	10	45	For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark	Mark	41	10	46	And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
Mark	Mark	41	10	47	And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Mark	Mark	41	10	48	And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Mark	Mark	41	10	49	And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
Mark	Mark	41	10	50	And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
Mark	Mark	41	10	51	And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
Mark	Mark	41	10	52	And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
Mark	Mark	41	11	1	And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
Mark	Mark	41	11	2	And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
Mark	Mark	41	11	3	And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
Mark	Mark	41	11	4	And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
Mark	Mark	41	11	5	And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
Mark	Mark	41	11	6	And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
Mark	Mark	41	11	7	And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Mark	Mark	41	11	8	And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
Mark	Mark	41	11	9	And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Mark	Mark	41	11	10	Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
Mark	Mark	41	11	11	And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
Mark	Mark	41	11	12	And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
Mark	Mark	41	11	13	And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
Mark	Mark	41	11	14	And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
Mark	Mark	41	11	15	And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
Mark	Mark	41	11	16	And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
Mark	Mark	41	11	17	And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Mark	Mark	41	11	18	And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.
Mark	Mark	41	11	19	And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Mark	Mark	41	11	20	And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
Mark	Mark	41	11	21	And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
Mark	Mark	41	11	22	And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
Mark	Mark	41	11	23	For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark	Mark	41	11	24	Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark	Mark	41	11	25	And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark	Mark	41	11	26	But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Mark	Mark	41	11	27	And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,
Mark	Mark	41	11	28	And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
Mark	Mark	41	11	29	And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark	Mark	41	11	30	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
Mark	Mark	41	11	31	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
Mark	Mark	41	11	32	But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
Mark	Mark	41	11	33	And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Mark	Mark	41	12	1	And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
Mark	Mark	41	12	2	And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
Mark	Mark	41	12	3	And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
Mark	Mark	41	12	4	And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.
Mark	Mark	41	12	5	And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
Mark	Mark	41	12	6	Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
Mark	Mark	41	12	7	But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
Mark	Mark	41	12	8	And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
Mark	Mark	41	12	9	What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
Mark	Mark	41	12	10	And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
Mark	Mark	41	12	11	This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Mark	Mark	41	12	12	And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
Mark	Mark	41	12	13	And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.
Mark	Mark	41	12	14	And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mark	Mark	41	12	15	Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
Mark	Mark	41	12	16	And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
Mark	Mark	41	12	17	And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
Mark	Mark	41	12	18	Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
Mark	Mark	41	12	19	Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Mark	Mark	41	12	20	Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
Mark	Mark	41	12	21	And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
Mark	Mark	41	12	22	And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
Mark	Mark	41	12	23	In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
Mark	Mark	41	12	24	And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
Mark	Mark	41	12	25	For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Mark	Mark	41	12	26	And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?
Mark	Mark	41	12	27	He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
Mark	Mark	41	12	28	And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
Mark	Mark	41	12	29	And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark	Mark	41	12	30	And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mark	Mark	41	12	31	And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Mark	Mark	41	12	32	And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Mark	Mark	41	12	33	And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mark	Mark	41	12	34	And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
Mark	Mark	41	12	35	And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
Mark	Mark	41	12	36	For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mark	Mark	41	12	37	David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Mark	Mark	41	12	38	And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
Mark	Mark	41	12	39	And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
Mark	Mark	41	12	40	Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
Mark	Mark	41	12	41	And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
Mark	Mark	41	12	42	And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
Mark	Mark	41	12	43	And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
Mark	Mark	41	12	44	For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
Mark	Mark	41	13	1	And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!
Mark	Mark	41	13	2	And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Mark	Mark	41	13	3	And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,
Mark	Mark	41	13	4	Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
Mark	Mark	41	13	5	And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Mark	Mark	41	13	6	For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mark	Mark	41	13	7	And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Mark	Mark	41	13	8	For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Mark	Mark	41	13	9	But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
Mark	Mark	41	13	10	And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Mark	Mark	41	13	11	But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
Mark	Mark	41	13	12	Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
Mark	Mark	41	13	13	And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Mark	Mark	41	13	14	But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Mark	Mark	41	13	15	And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:
Mark	Mark	41	13	16	And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.
Mark	Mark	41	13	17	But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
Mark	Mark	41	13	18	And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
Mark	Mark	41	13	19	For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
Mark	Mark	41	13	20	And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
Mark	Mark	41	13	21	And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
Mark	Mark	41	13	22	For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Mark	Mark	41	13	23	But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Mark	Mark	41	13	24	But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
Mark	Mark	41	13	25	And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Mark	Mark	41	13	26	And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Mark	Mark	41	13	27	And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
Mark	Mark	41	13	28	Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
Mark	Mark	41	13	29	So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
Mark	Mark	41	13	30	Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
Mark	Mark	41	13	31	Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Mark	Mark	41	13	32	But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
Mark	Mark	41	13	33	Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
Mark	Mark	41	13	34	For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
Mark	Mark	41	13	35	Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
Mark	Mark	41	13	36	Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
Mark	Mark	41	13	37	And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Mark	Mark	41	14	1	After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
Mark	Mark	41	14	2	But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
Mark	Mark	41	14	3	And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
Mark	Mark	41	14	4	And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
Mark	Mark	41	14	5	For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
Mark	Mark	41	14	6	And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.
Mark	Mark	41	14	7	For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.
Mark	Mark	41	14	8	She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.
Mark	Mark	41	14	9	Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
Mark	Mark	41	14	10	And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	14	11	And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	12	And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
Mark	Mark	41	14	13	And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	14	And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Mark	Mark	41	14	15	And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.
Mark	Mark	41	14	16	And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
Mark	Mark	41	14	17	And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
Mark	Mark	41	14	18	And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
Mark	Mark	41	14	19	And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
Mark	Mark	41	14	20	And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
Mark	Mark	41	14	21	The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
Mark	Mark	41	14	22	And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
Mark	Mark	41	14	23	And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
Mark	Mark	41	14	24	And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
Mark	Mark	41	14	25	Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
Mark	Mark	41	14	26	And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
Mark	Mark	41	14	27	And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.
Mark	Mark	41	14	28	But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Mark	Mark	41	14	29	But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
Mark	Mark	41	14	30	And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Mark	Mark	41	14	31	But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
Mark	Mark	41	14	32	And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
Mark	Mark	41	14	33	And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
Mark	Mark	41	14	34	And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
Mark	Mark	41	14	35	And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	36	And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
Mark	Mark	41	14	37	And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
Mark	Mark	41	14	38	Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
Mark	Mark	41	14	39	And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
Mark	Mark	41	14	40	And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	41	And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mark	Mark	41	14	42	Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
Mark	Mark	41	14	43	And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
Mark	Mark	41	14	44	And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
Mark	Mark	41	14	45	And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	46	And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
Mark	Mark	41	14	47	And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
Mark	Mark	41	14	48	And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
Mark	Mark	41	14	49	I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
Mark	Mark	41	14	50	And they all forsook him, and fled.
Mark	Mark	41	14	51	And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:
Mark	Mark	41	14	52	And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
Mark	Mark	41	14	53	And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
Mark	Mark	41	14	54	And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
Mark	Mark	41	14	55	And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
Mark	Mark	41	14	56	For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.
Mark	Mark	41	14	57	And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
Mark	Mark	41	14	58	We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
Mark	Mark	41	14	59	But neither so did their witness agree together.
Mark	Mark	41	14	60	And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
Mark	Mark	41	14	61	But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
Mark	Mark	41	14	62	And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark	Mark	41	14	63	Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
Mark	Mark	41	14	64	Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.
Mark	Mark	41	14	65	And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands.
Mark	Mark	41	14	66	And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:
Mark	Mark	41	14	67	And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
Mark	Mark	41	14	68	But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
Mark	Mark	41	14	69	And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.
Mark	Mark	41	14	70	And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.
Mark	Mark	41	14	71	But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.
Mark	Mark	41	14	72	And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Mark	Mark	41	15	1	And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
Mark	Mark	41	15	2	And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
Mark	Mark	41	15	3	And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.
Mark	Mark	41	15	4	And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.
Mark	Mark	41	15	5	But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
Mark	Mark	41	15	6	Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
Mark	Mark	41	15	7	And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
Mark	Mark	41	15	8	And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	15	9	But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
Mark	Mark	41	15	10	For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
Mark	Mark	41	15	11	But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
Mark	Mark	41	15	12	And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
Mark	Mark	41	15	13	And they cried out again, Crucify him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	14	Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	15	And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
Mark	Mark	41	15	16	And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
Mark	Mark	41	15	17	And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,
Mark	Mark	41	15	18	And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mark	Mark	41	15	19	And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	20	And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	21	And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
Mark	Mark	41	15	22	And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull.
Mark	Mark	41	15	23	And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.
Mark	Mark	41	15	24	And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
Mark	Mark	41	15	25	And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	26	And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mark	Mark	41	15	27	And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.
Mark	Mark	41	15	28	And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Mark	Mark	41	15	29	And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days,
Mark	Mark	41	15	30	Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
Mark	Mark	41	15	31	Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
Mark	Mark	41	15	32	Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
Mark	Mark	41	15	33	And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
Mark	Mark	41	15	34	And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Mark	Mark	41	15	35	And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
Mark	Mark	41	15	36	And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
Mark	Mark	41	15	37	And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
Mark	Mark	41	15	38	And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
Mark	Mark	41	15	39	And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
Mark	Mark	41	15	40	There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
Mark	Mark	41	15	41	(Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
Mark	Mark	41	15	42	And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Mark	Mark	41	15	43	Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.
Mark	Mark	41	15	44	And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
Mark	Mark	41	15	45	And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
Mark	Mark	41	15	46	And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
Mark	Mark	41	15	47	And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
Mark	Mark	41	16	1	And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Mark	Mark	41	16	2	And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Mark	Mark	41	16	3	And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
Mark	Mark	41	16	4	And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
Mark	Mark	41	16	5	And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
Mark	Mark	41	16	6	And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
Mark	Mark	41	16	7	But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
Mark	Mark	41	16	8	And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
Mark	Mark	41	16	9	Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mark	Mark	41	16	10	And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
Mark	Mark	41	16	11	And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.
Mark	Mark	41	16	12	After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.
Mark	Mark	41	16	13	And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.
Mark	Mark	41	16	14	Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
Mark	Mark	41	16	15	And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark	Mark	41	16	16	He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mark	Mark	41	16	17	And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark	Mark	41	16	18	They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark	Mark	41	16	19	So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
Mark	Mark	41	16	20	And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Luke	Luke	42	1	1	Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Luke	Luke	42	1	2	Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Luke	Luke	42	1	3	It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Luke	Luke	42	1	4	That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
Luke	Luke	42	1	5	There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
Luke	Luke	42	1	6	And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke	Luke	42	1	7	And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.
Luke	Luke	42	1	8	And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course,
Luke	Luke	42	1	9	According to the custom of the priest's office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	1	10	And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.
Luke	Luke	42	1	11	And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.
Luke	Luke	42	1	12	And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.
Luke	Luke	42	1	13	But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.
Luke	Luke	42	1	14	And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.
Luke	Luke	42	1	15	For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
Luke	Luke	42	1	16	And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
Luke	Luke	42	1	17	And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	1	18	And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years.
Luke	Luke	42	1	19	And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the presence of God; and am sent to speak unto thee, and to shew thee these glad tidings.
Luke	Luke	42	1	20	And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.
Luke	Luke	42	1	21	And the people waited for Zacharias, and marvelled that he tarried so long in the temple.
Luke	Luke	42	1	22	And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple: for he beckoned unto them, and remained speechless.
Luke	Luke	42	1	23	And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luke	Luke	42	1	24	And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Luke	Luke	42	1	25	Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Luke	Luke	42	1	26	And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luke	Luke	42	1	27	To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
Luke	Luke	42	1	28	And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke	Luke	42	1	29	And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
Luke	Luke	42	1	30	And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
Luke	Luke	42	1	31	And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Luke	Luke	42	1	32	He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
Luke	Luke	42	1	33	And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Luke	Luke	42	1	34	Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Luke	Luke	42	1	35	And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Luke	Luke	42	1	36	And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
Luke	Luke	42	1	37	For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke	Luke	42	1	38	And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke	Luke	42	1	39	And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
Luke	Luke	42	1	40	And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
Luke	Luke	42	1	41	And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
Luke	Luke	42	1	42	And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Luke	Luke	42	1	43	And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Luke	Luke	42	1	44	For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
Luke	Luke	42	1	45	And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	1	46	And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
Luke	Luke	42	1	47	And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Luke	Luke	42	1	48	For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Luke	Luke	42	1	49	For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
Luke	Luke	42	1	50	And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Luke	Luke	42	1	51	He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
Luke	Luke	42	1	52	He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Luke	Luke	42	1	53	He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
Luke	Luke	42	1	54	He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
Luke	Luke	42	1	55	As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
Luke	Luke	42	1	56	And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Luke	Luke	42	1	57	Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
Luke	Luke	42	1	58	And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.
Luke	Luke	42	1	59	And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father.
Luke	Luke	42	1	60	And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John.
Luke	Luke	42	1	61	And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Luke	Luke	42	1	62	And they made signs to his father, how he would have him called.
Luke	Luke	42	1	63	And he asked for a writing table, and wrote, saying, His name is John. And they marvelled all.
Luke	Luke	42	1	64	And his mouth was opened immediately, and his tongue loosed, and he spake, and praised God.
Luke	Luke	42	1	65	And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judaea.
Luke	Luke	42	1	66	And all they that heard them laid them up in their hearts, saying, What manner of child shall this be! And the hand of the Lord was with him.
Luke	Luke	42	1	67	And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
Luke	Luke	42	1	68	Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,
Luke	Luke	42	1	69	And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
Luke	Luke	42	1	70	As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Luke	Luke	42	1	71	That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us;
Luke	Luke	42	1	72	To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
Luke	Luke	42	1	73	The oath which he sware to our father Abraham,
Luke	Luke	42	1	74	That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Luke	Luke	42	1	75	In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Luke	Luke	42	1	76	And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
Luke	Luke	42	1	77	To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Luke	Luke	42	1	78	Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
Luke	Luke	42	1	79	To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke	Luke	42	1	80	And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel.
Luke	Luke	42	2	1	And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
Luke	Luke	42	2	2	(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
Luke	Luke	42	2	3	And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
Luke	Luke	42	2	4	And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
Luke	Luke	42	2	5	To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
Luke	Luke	42	2	6	And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
Luke	Luke	42	2	7	And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke	Luke	42	2	8	And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke	Luke	42	2	9	And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Luke	Luke	42	2	10	And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke	Luke	42	2	11	For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	2	12	And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Luke	Luke	42	2	13	And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luke	Luke	42	2	14	Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke	Luke	42	2	15	And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
Luke	Luke	42	2	16	And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Luke	Luke	42	2	17	And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
Luke	Luke	42	2	18	And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Luke	Luke	42	2	19	But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Luke	Luke	42	2	20	And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	2	21	And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Luke	Luke	42	2	22	And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
Luke	Luke	42	2	23	(As it is written in the law of the LORD, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;)
Luke	Luke	42	2	24	And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
Luke	Luke	42	2	25	And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
Luke	Luke	42	2	26	And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.
Luke	Luke	42	2	27	And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Luke	Luke	42	2	28	Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
Luke	Luke	42	2	29	Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
Luke	Luke	42	2	30	For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Luke	Luke	42	2	31	Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
Luke	Luke	42	2	32	A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
Luke	Luke	42	2	33	And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
Luke	Luke	42	2	34	And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
Luke	Luke	42	2	35	(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
Luke	Luke	42	2	36	And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
Luke	Luke	42	2	37	And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Luke	Luke	42	2	38	And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	2	39	And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
Luke	Luke	42	2	40	And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
Luke	Luke	42	2	41	Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
Luke	Luke	42	2	42	And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
Luke	Luke	42	2	43	And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
Luke	Luke	42	2	44	But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
Luke	Luke	42	2	45	And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
Luke	Luke	42	2	46	And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
Luke	Luke	42	2	47	And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
Luke	Luke	42	2	48	And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
Luke	Luke	42	2	49	And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?
Luke	Luke	42	2	50	And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	2	51	And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
Luke	Luke	42	2	52	And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Luke	Luke	42	3	1	Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
Luke	Luke	42	3	2	Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
Luke	Luke	42	3	3	And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
Luke	Luke	42	3	4	As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Luke	Luke	42	3	5	Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
Luke	Luke	42	3	6	And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
Luke	Luke	42	3	7	Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Luke	Luke	42	3	8	Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
Luke	Luke	42	3	9	And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luke	Luke	42	3	10	And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
Luke	Luke	42	3	11	He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
Luke	Luke	42	3	12	Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
Luke	Luke	42	3	13	And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
Luke	Luke	42	3	14	And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
Luke	Luke	42	3	15	And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;
Luke	Luke	42	3	16	John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire:
Luke	Luke	42	3	17	Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable.
Luke	Luke	42	3	18	And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
Luke	Luke	42	3	19	But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
Luke	Luke	42	3	20	Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
Luke	Luke	42	3	21	Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Luke	Luke	42	3	22	And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Luke	Luke	42	3	23	And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Luke	Luke	42	3	24	Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
Luke	Luke	42	3	25	Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
Luke	Luke	42	3	26	Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
Luke	Luke	42	3	27	Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,
Luke	Luke	42	3	28	Which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er,
Luke	Luke	42	3	29	Which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi,
Luke	Luke	42	3	30	Which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim,
Luke	Luke	42	3	31	Which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David,
Luke	Luke	42	3	32	Which was the son of Jesse, which was the son of Obed, which was the son of Booz, which was the son of Salmon, which was the son of Naasson,
Luke	Luke	42	3	33	Which was the son of Aminadab, which was the son of Aram, which was the son of Esrom, which was the son of Phares, which was the son of Juda,
Luke	Luke	42	3	34	Which was the son of Jacob, which was the son of Isaac, which was the son of Abraham, which was the son of Thara, which was the son of Nachor,
Luke	Luke	42	3	35	Which was the son of Saruch, which was the son of Ragau, which was the son of Phalec, which was the son of Heber, which was the son of Sala,
Luke	Luke	42	3	36	Which was the son of Cainan, which was the son of Arphaxad, which was the son of Sem, which was the son of Noe, which was the son of Lamech,
Luke	Luke	42	3	37	Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,
Luke	Luke	42	3	38	Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
Luke	Luke	42	4	1	And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Luke	Luke	42	4	2	Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Luke	Luke	42	4	3	And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
Luke	Luke	42	4	4	And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Luke	Luke	42	4	5	And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luke	Luke	42	4	6	And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Luke	Luke	42	4	7	If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Luke	Luke	42	4	8	And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Luke	Luke	42	4	9	And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
Luke	Luke	42	4	10	For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
Luke	Luke	42	4	11	And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke	Luke	42	4	12	And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Luke	Luke	42	4	13	And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
Luke	Luke	42	4	14	And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luke	Luke	42	4	15	And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
Luke	Luke	42	4	16	And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luke	Luke	42	4	17	And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
Luke	Luke	42	4	18	The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Luke	Luke	42	4	19	To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	4	20	And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
Luke	Luke	42	4	21	And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
Luke	Luke	42	4	22	And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son?
Luke	Luke	42	4	23	And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
Luke	Luke	42	4	24	And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
Luke	Luke	42	4	25	But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
Luke	Luke	42	4	26	But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
Luke	Luke	42	4	27	And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.
Luke	Luke	42	4	28	And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath,
Luke	Luke	42	4	29	And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.
Luke	Luke	42	4	30	But he passing through the midst of them went his way,
Luke	Luke	42	4	31	And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days.
Luke	Luke	42	4	32	And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.
Luke	Luke	42	4	33	And in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice,
Luke	Luke	42	4	34	Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God.
Luke	Luke	42	4	35	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
Luke	Luke	42	4	36	And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out.
Luke	Luke	42	4	37	And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about.
Luke	Luke	42	4	38	And he arose out of the synagogue, and entered into Simon's house. And Simon's wife's mother was taken with a great fever; and they besought him for her.
Luke	Luke	42	4	39	And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	4	40	Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Luke	Luke	42	4	41	And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.
Luke	Luke	42	4	42	And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them.
Luke	Luke	42	4	43	And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent.
Luke	Luke	42	4	44	And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee.
Luke	Luke	42	5	1	And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
Luke	Luke	42	5	2	And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.
Luke	Luke	42	5	3	And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.
Luke	Luke	42	5	4	Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.
Luke	Luke	42	5	5	And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
Luke	Luke	42	5	6	And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.
Luke	Luke	42	5	7	And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.
Luke	Luke	42	5	8	When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	5	9	For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken:
Luke	Luke	42	5	10	And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Luke	Luke	42	5	11	And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.
Luke	Luke	42	5	12	And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
Luke	Luke	42	5	13	And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him.
Luke	Luke	42	5	14	And he charged him to tell no man: but go, and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, according as Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	5	15	But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
Luke	Luke	42	5	16	And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
Luke	Luke	42	5	17	And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and the power of the Lord was present to heal them.
Luke	Luke	42	5	18	And, behold, men brought in a bed a man which was taken with a palsy: and they sought means to bring him in, and to lay him before him.
Luke	Luke	42	5	19	And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
Luke	Luke	42	5	20	And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee.
Luke	Luke	42	5	21	And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Luke	Luke	42	5	22	But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason ye in your hearts?
Luke	Luke	42	5	23	Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
Luke	Luke	42	5	24	But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
Luke	Luke	42	5	25	And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.
Luke	Luke	42	5	26	And they were all amazed, and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day.
Luke	Luke	42	5	27	And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
Luke	Luke	42	5	28	And he left all, rose up, and followed him.
Luke	Luke	42	5	29	And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.
Luke	Luke	42	5	30	But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?
Luke	Luke	42	5	31	And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
Luke	Luke	42	5	32	I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Luke	Luke	42	5	33	And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
Luke	Luke	42	5	34	And he said unto them, Can ye make the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?
Luke	Luke	42	5	35	But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
Luke	Luke	42	5	36	And he spake also a parable unto them; No man putteth a piece of a new garment upon an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh a rent, and the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not with the old.
Luke	Luke	42	5	37	And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
Luke	Luke	42	5	38	But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.
Luke	Luke	42	5	39	No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
Luke	Luke	42	6	1	And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
Luke	Luke	42	6	2	And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
Luke	Luke	42	6	3	And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
Luke	Luke	42	6	4	How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
Luke	Luke	42	6	5	And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
Luke	Luke	42	6	6	And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
Luke	Luke	42	6	7	And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
Luke	Luke	42	6	8	But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
Luke	Luke	42	6	9	Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
Luke	Luke	42	6	10	And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
Luke	Luke	42	6	11	And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
Luke	Luke	42	6	12	And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
Luke	Luke	42	6	13	And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Luke	Luke	42	6	14	Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
Luke	Luke	42	6	15	Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
Luke	Luke	42	6	16	And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.
Luke	Luke	42	6	17	And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
Luke	Luke	42	6	18	And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.
Luke	Luke	42	6	19	And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all.
Luke	Luke	42	6	20	And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	6	21	Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
Luke	Luke	42	6	22	Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
Luke	Luke	42	6	23	Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
Luke	Luke	42	6	24	But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation.
Luke	Luke	42	6	25	Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep.
Luke	Luke	42	6	26	Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.
Luke	Luke	42	6	27	But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
Luke	Luke	42	6	28	Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Luke	Luke	42	6	29	And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Luke	Luke	42	6	30	Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
Luke	Luke	42	6	31	And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Luke	Luke	42	6	32	For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
Luke	Luke	42	6	33	And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
Luke	Luke	42	6	34	And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
Luke	Luke	42	6	35	But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luke	Luke	42	6	36	Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke	Luke	42	6	37	Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
Luke	Luke	42	6	38	Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Luke	Luke	42	6	39	And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Luke	Luke	42	6	40	The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.
Luke	Luke	42	6	41	And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Luke	Luke	42	6	42	Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
Luke	Luke	42	6	43	For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Luke	Luke	42	6	44	For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.
Luke	Luke	42	6	45	A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
Luke	Luke	42	6	46	And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Luke	Luke	42	6	47	Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
Luke	Luke	42	6	48	He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Luke	Luke	42	6	49	But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.
Luke	Luke	42	7	1	Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
Luke	Luke	42	7	2	And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
Luke	Luke	42	7	3	And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
Luke	Luke	42	7	4	And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Luke	Luke	42	7	5	For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
Luke	Luke	42	7	6	Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
Luke	Luke	42	7	7	Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
Luke	Luke	42	7	8	For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Luke	Luke	42	7	9	When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Luke	Luke	42	7	10	And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
Luke	Luke	42	7	11	And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
Luke	Luke	42	7	12	Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with her.
Luke	Luke	42	7	13	And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
Luke	Luke	42	7	14	And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.
Luke	Luke	42	7	15	And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his mother.
Luke	Luke	42	7	16	And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
Luke	Luke	42	7	17	And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about.
Luke	Luke	42	7	18	And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things.
Luke	Luke	42	7	19	And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Luke	Luke	42	7	20	When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
Luke	Luke	42	7	21	And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Luke	Luke	42	7	22	Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
Luke	Luke	42	7	23	And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Luke	Luke	42	7	24	And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Luke	Luke	42	7	25	But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts.
Luke	Luke	42	7	26	But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
Luke	Luke	42	7	27	This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
Luke	Luke	42	7	28	For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
Luke	Luke	42	7	29	And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
Luke	Luke	42	7	30	But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
Luke	Luke	42	7	31	And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
Luke	Luke	42	7	32	They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
Luke	Luke	42	7	33	For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
Luke	Luke	42	7	34	The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
Luke	Luke	42	7	35	But wisdom is justified of all her children.
Luke	Luke	42	7	36	And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
Luke	Luke	42	7	37	And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
Luke	Luke	42	7	38	And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Luke	Luke	42	7	39	Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
Luke	Luke	42	7	40	And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
Luke	Luke	42	7	41	There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
Luke	Luke	42	7	42	And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Luke	Luke	42	7	43	Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Luke	Luke	42	7	44	And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Luke	Luke	42	7	45	Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
Luke	Luke	42	7	46	My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
Luke	Luke	42	7	47	Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.
Luke	Luke	42	7	48	And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
Luke	Luke	42	7	49	And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
Luke	Luke	42	7	50	And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
Luke	Luke	42	8	1	And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
Luke	Luke	42	8	2	And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
Luke	Luke	42	8	3	And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
Luke	Luke	42	8	4	And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
Luke	Luke	42	8	5	A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
Luke	Luke	42	8	6	And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.
Luke	Luke	42	8	7	And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.
Luke	Luke	42	8	8	And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke	Luke	42	8	9	And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
Luke	Luke	42	8	10	And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Luke	Luke	42	8	11	Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luke	Luke	42	8	12	Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
Luke	Luke	42	8	13	They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
Luke	Luke	42	8	14	And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Luke	Luke	42	8	15	But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
Luke	Luke	42	8	16	No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.
Luke	Luke	42	8	17	For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.
Luke	Luke	42	8	18	Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
Luke	Luke	42	8	19	Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.
Luke	Luke	42	8	20	And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
Luke	Luke	42	8	21	And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.
Luke	Luke	42	8	22	Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.
Luke	Luke	42	8	23	But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
Luke	Luke	42	8	24	And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Luke	Luke	42	8	25	And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.
Luke	Luke	42	8	26	And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.
Luke	Luke	42	8	27	And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.
Luke	Luke	42	8	28	When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.
Luke	Luke	42	8	29	(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)
Luke	Luke	42	8	30	And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.
Luke	Luke	42	8	31	And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
Luke	Luke	42	8	32	And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.
Luke	Luke	42	8	33	Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.
Luke	Luke	42	8	34	When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.
Luke	Luke	42	8	35	Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
Luke	Luke	42	8	36	They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
Luke	Luke	42	8	37	Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.
Luke	Luke	42	8	38	Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,
Luke	Luke	42	8	39	Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
Luke	Luke	42	8	40	And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.
Luke	Luke	42	8	41	And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:
Luke	Luke	42	8	42	For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.
Luke	Luke	42	8	43	And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
Luke	Luke	42	8	44	Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.
Luke	Luke	42	8	45	And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Luke	Luke	42	8	46	And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
Luke	Luke	42	8	47	And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
Luke	Luke	42	8	48	And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.
Luke	Luke	42	8	49	While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.
Luke	Luke	42	8	50	But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Luke	Luke	42	8	51	And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
Luke	Luke	42	8	52	And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.
Luke	Luke	42	8	53	And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
Luke	Luke	42	8	54	And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.
Luke	Luke	42	8	55	And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
Luke	Luke	42	8	56	And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.
Luke	Luke	42	9	1	Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
Luke	Luke	42	9	2	And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
Luke	Luke	42	9	3	And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
Luke	Luke	42	9	4	And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
Luke	Luke	42	9	5	And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
Luke	Luke	42	9	6	And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
Luke	Luke	42	9	7	Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead;
Luke	Luke	42	9	8	And of some, that Elias had appeared; and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
Luke	Luke	42	9	9	And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	10	And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
Luke	Luke	42	9	11	And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Luke	Luke	42	9	12	And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
Luke	Luke	42	9	13	But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
Luke	Luke	42	9	14	For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
Luke	Luke	42	9	15	And they did so, and made them all sit down.
Luke	Luke	42	9	16	Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
Luke	Luke	42	9	17	And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
Luke	Luke	42	9	18	And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
Luke	Luke	42	9	19	They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
Luke	Luke	42	9	20	He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Luke	Luke	42	9	21	And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
Luke	Luke	42	9	22	Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
Luke	Luke	42	9	23	And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Luke	Luke	42	9	24	For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
Luke	Luke	42	9	25	For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
Luke	Luke	42	9	26	For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
Luke	Luke	42	9	27	But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	9	28	And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray.
Luke	Luke	42	9	29	And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
Luke	Luke	42	9	30	And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias:
Luke	Luke	42	9	31	Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	9	32	But Peter and they that were with him were heavy with sleep: and when they were awake, they saw his glory, and the two men that stood with him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	33	And it came to pass, as they departed from him, Peter said unto Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias: not knowing what he said.
Luke	Luke	42	9	34	While he thus spake, there came a cloud, and overshadowed them: and they feared as they entered into the cloud.
Luke	Luke	42	9	35	And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	36	And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
Luke	Luke	42	9	37	And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	38	And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
Luke	Luke	42	9	39	And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	40	And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
Luke	Luke	42	9	41	And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
Luke	Luke	42	9	42	And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
Luke	Luke	42	9	43	And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
Luke	Luke	42	9	44	Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
Luke	Luke	42	9	45	But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
Luke	Luke	42	9	46	Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
Luke	Luke	42	9	47	And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
Luke	Luke	42	9	48	And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
Luke	Luke	42	9	49	And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
Luke	Luke	42	9	50	And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
Luke	Luke	42	9	51	And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
Luke	Luke	42	9	52	And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
Luke	Luke	42	9	53	And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	9	54	And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
Luke	Luke	42	9	55	But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Luke	Luke	42	9	56	For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.
Luke	Luke	42	9	57	And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
Luke	Luke	42	9	58	And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
Luke	Luke	42	9	59	And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luke	Luke	42	9	60	Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	9	61	And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
Luke	Luke	42	9	62	And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	10	1	After these things the LORD appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.
Luke	Luke	42	10	2	Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Luke	Luke	42	10	3	Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Luke	Luke	42	10	4	Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
Luke	Luke	42	10	5	And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.
Luke	Luke	42	10	6	And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
Luke	Luke	42	10	7	And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house.
Luke	Luke	42	10	8	And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
Luke	Luke	42	10	9	And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	10	10	But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
Luke	Luke	42	10	11	Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	10	12	But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
Luke	Luke	42	10	13	Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.
Luke	Luke	42	10	14	But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
Luke	Luke	42	10	15	And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
Luke	Luke	42	10	16	He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.
Luke	Luke	42	10	17	And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
Luke	Luke	42	10	18	And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
Luke	Luke	42	10	19	Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Luke	Luke	42	10	20	Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
Luke	Luke	42	10	21	In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Luke	Luke	42	10	22	All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
Luke	Luke	42	10	23	And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
Luke	Luke	42	10	24	For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
Luke	Luke	42	10	25	And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke	Luke	42	10	26	He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
Luke	Luke	42	10	27	And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Luke	Luke	42	10	28	And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luke	Luke	42	10	29	But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
Luke	Luke	42	10	30	And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
Luke	Luke	42	10	31	And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
Luke	Luke	42	10	32	And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
Luke	Luke	42	10	33	But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
Luke	Luke	42	10	34	And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
Luke	Luke	42	10	35	And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Luke	Luke	42	10	36	Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
Luke	Luke	42	10	37	And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Luke	Luke	42	10	38	Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
Luke	Luke	42	10	39	And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word.
Luke	Luke	42	10	40	But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.
Luke	Luke	42	10	41	And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things:
Luke	Luke	42	10	42	But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Luke	Luke	42	11	1	And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
Luke	Luke	42	11	2	And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Luke	Luke	42	11	3	Give us day by day our daily bread.
Luke	Luke	42	11	4	And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Luke	Luke	42	11	5	And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luke	Luke	42	11	6	For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
Luke	Luke	42	11	7	And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
Luke	Luke	42	11	8	I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
Luke	Luke	42	11	9	And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	11	10	For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Luke	Luke	42	11	11	If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Luke	Luke	42	11	12	Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
Luke	Luke	42	11	13	If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
Luke	Luke	42	11	14	And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
Luke	Luke	42	11	15	But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
Luke	Luke	42	11	16	And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
Luke	Luke	42	11	17	But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
Luke	Luke	42	11	18	If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
Luke	Luke	42	11	19	And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
Luke	Luke	42	11	20	But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
Luke	Luke	42	11	21	When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
Luke	Luke	42	11	22	But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
Luke	Luke	42	11	23	He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
Luke	Luke	42	11	24	When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
Luke	Luke	42	11	25	And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Luke	Luke	42	11	26	Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
Luke	Luke	42	11	27	And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
Luke	Luke	42	11	28	But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke	Luke	42	11	29	And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
Luke	Luke	42	11	30	For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
Luke	Luke	42	11	31	The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Luke	Luke	42	11	32	The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
Luke	Luke	42	11	33	No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
Luke	Luke	42	11	34	The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
Luke	Luke	42	11	35	Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Luke	Luke	42	11	36	If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
Luke	Luke	42	11	37	And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
Luke	Luke	42	11	38	And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
Luke	Luke	42	11	39	And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
Luke	Luke	42	11	40	Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
Luke	Luke	42	11	41	But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	11	42	But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Luke	Luke	42	11	43	Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Luke	Luke	42	11	44	Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
Luke	Luke	42	11	45	Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
Luke	Luke	42	11	46	And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
Luke	Luke	42	11	47	Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Luke	Luke	42	11	48	Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
Luke	Luke	42	11	49	Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
Luke	Luke	42	11	50	That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
Luke	Luke	42	11	51	From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Luke	Luke	42	11	52	Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Luke	Luke	42	11	53	And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
Luke	Luke	42	11	54	Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
Luke	Luke	42	12	1	In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Luke	Luke	42	12	2	For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Luke	Luke	42	12	3	Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Luke	Luke	42	12	4	And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Luke	Luke	42	12	5	But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
Luke	Luke	42	12	6	Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Luke	Luke	42	12	7	But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke	Luke	42	12	8	Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Luke	Luke	42	12	9	But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Luke	Luke	42	12	10	And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
Luke	Luke	42	12	11	And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
Luke	Luke	42	12	12	For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
Luke	Luke	42	12	13	And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Luke	Luke	42	12	14	And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Luke	Luke	42	12	15	And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke	Luke	42	12	16	And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Luke	Luke	42	12	17	And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luke	Luke	42	12	18	And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Luke	Luke	42	12	19	And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
Luke	Luke	42	12	20	But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
Luke	Luke	42	12	21	So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Luke	Luke	42	12	22	And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
Luke	Luke	42	12	23	The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
Luke	Luke	42	12	24	Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
Luke	Luke	42	12	25	And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Luke	Luke	42	12	26	If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Luke	Luke	42	12	27	Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke	Luke	42	12	28	If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Luke	Luke	42	12	29	And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
Luke	Luke	42	12	30	For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
Luke	Luke	42	12	31	But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	12	32	Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Luke	Luke	42	12	33	Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
Luke	Luke	42	12	34	For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke	Luke	42	12	35	Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Luke	Luke	42	12	36	And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
Luke	Luke	42	12	37	Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.
Luke	Luke	42	12	38	And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Luke	Luke	42	12	39	And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Luke	Luke	42	12	40	Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
Luke	Luke	42	12	41	Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
Luke	Luke	42	12	42	And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
Luke	Luke	42	12	43	Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
Luke	Luke	42	12	44	Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
Luke	Luke	42	12	45	But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Luke	Luke	42	12	46	The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
Luke	Luke	42	12	47	And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Luke	Luke	42	12	48	But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Luke	Luke	42	12	49	I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Luke	Luke	42	12	50	But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Luke	Luke	42	12	51	Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Luke	Luke	42	12	52	For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Luke	Luke	42	12	53	The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke	Luke	42	12	54	And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
Luke	Luke	42	12	55	And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
Luke	Luke	42	12	56	Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
Luke	Luke	42	12	57	Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Luke	Luke	42	12	58	When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Luke	Luke	42	12	59	I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
Luke	Luke	42	13	1	There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Luke	Luke	42	13	2	And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
Luke	Luke	42	13	3	I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke	Luke	42	13	4	Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
Luke	Luke	42	13	5	I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
Luke	Luke	42	13	6	He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
Luke	Luke	42	13	7	Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
Luke	Luke	42	13	8	And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:
Luke	Luke	42	13	9	And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
Luke	Luke	42	13	10	And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sabbath.
Luke	Luke	42	13	11	And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself.
Luke	Luke	42	13	12	And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
Luke	Luke	42	13	13	And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
Luke	Luke	42	13	14	And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
Luke	Luke	42	13	15	The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
Luke	Luke	42	13	16	And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
Luke	Luke	42	13	17	And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.
Luke	Luke	42	13	18	Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
Luke	Luke	42	13	19	It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Luke	Luke	42	13	20	And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luke	Luke	42	13	21	It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
Luke	Luke	42	13	22	And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	13	23	Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
Luke	Luke	42	13	24	Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Luke	Luke	42	13	25	When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
Luke	Luke	42	13	26	Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
Luke	Luke	42	13	27	But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
Luke	Luke	42	13	28	There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
Luke	Luke	42	13	29	And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	13	30	And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
Luke	Luke	42	13	31	The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.
Luke	Luke	42	13	32	And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
Luke	Luke	42	13	33	Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	13	34	O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!
Luke	Luke	42	13	35	Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Luke	Luke	42	14	1	And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, that they watched him.
Luke	Luke	42	14	2	And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
Luke	Luke	42	14	3	And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
Luke	Luke	42	14	4	And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go;
Luke	Luke	42	14	5	And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
Luke	Luke	42	14	6	And they could not answer him again to these things.
Luke	Luke	42	14	7	And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,
Luke	Luke	42	14	8	When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
Luke	Luke	42	14	9	And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
Luke	Luke	42	14	10	But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
Luke	Luke	42	14	11	For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke	Luke	42	14	12	Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee.
Luke	Luke	42	14	13	But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
Luke	Luke	42	14	14	And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
Luke	Luke	42	14	15	And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	14	16	Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
Luke	Luke	42	14	17	And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.
Luke	Luke	42	14	18	And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke	Luke	42	14	19	And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.
Luke	Luke	42	14	20	And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
Luke	Luke	42	14	21	So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
Luke	Luke	42	14	22	And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
Luke	Luke	42	14	23	And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
Luke	Luke	42	14	24	For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
Luke	Luke	42	14	25	And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
Luke	Luke	42	14	26	If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke	Luke	42	14	27	And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke	Luke	42	14	28	For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Luke	Luke	42	14	29	Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Luke	Luke	42	14	30	Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Luke	Luke	42	14	31	Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Luke	Luke	42	14	32	Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
Luke	Luke	42	14	33	So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke	Luke	42	14	34	Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
Luke	Luke	42	14	35	It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Luke	Luke	42	15	1	Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Luke	Luke	42	15	2	And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.
Luke	Luke	42	15	3	And he spake this parable unto them, saying,
Luke	Luke	42	15	4	What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?
Luke	Luke	42	15	5	And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.
Luke	Luke	42	15	6	And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.
Luke	Luke	42	15	7	I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
Luke	Luke	42	15	8	Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till she find it?
Luke	Luke	42	15	9	And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost.
Luke	Luke	42	15	10	Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Luke	Luke	42	15	11	And he said, A certain man had two sons:
Luke	Luke	42	15	12	And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
Luke	Luke	42	15	13	And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
Luke	Luke	42	15	14	And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
Luke	Luke	42	15	15	And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
Luke	Luke	42	15	16	And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
Luke	Luke	42	15	17	And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
Luke	Luke	42	15	18	I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
Luke	Luke	42	15	19	And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.
Luke	Luke	42	15	20	And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
Luke	Luke	42	15	21	And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
Luke	Luke	42	15	22	But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
Luke	Luke	42	15	23	And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:
Luke	Luke	42	15	24	For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Luke	Luke	42	15	25	Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.
Luke	Luke	42	15	26	And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.
Luke	Luke	42	15	27	And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.
Luke	Luke	42	15	28	And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.
Luke	Luke	42	15	29	And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:
Luke	Luke	42	15	30	But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.
Luke	Luke	42	15	31	And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.
Luke	Luke	42	15	32	It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
Luke	Luke	42	16	1	And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.
Luke	Luke	42	16	2	And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward.
Luke	Luke	42	16	3	Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.
Luke	Luke	42	16	4	I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
Luke	Luke	42	16	5	So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?
Luke	Luke	42	16	6	And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty.
Luke	Luke	42	16	7	Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore.
Luke	Luke	42	16	8	And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Luke	Luke	42	16	9	And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
Luke	Luke	42	16	10	He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Luke	Luke	42	16	11	If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Luke	Luke	42	16	12	And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
Luke	Luke	42	16	13	No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Luke	Luke	42	16	14	And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Luke	Luke	42	16	15	And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
Luke	Luke	42	16	16	The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Luke	Luke	42	16	17	And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Luke	Luke	42	16	18	Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Luke	Luke	42	16	19	There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
Luke	Luke	42	16	20	And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
Luke	Luke	42	16	21	And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
Luke	Luke	42	16	22	And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
Luke	Luke	42	16	23	And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Luke	Luke	42	16	24	And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
Luke	Luke	42	16	25	But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luke	Luke	42	16	26	And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
Luke	Luke	42	16	27	Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
Luke	Luke	42	16	28	For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
Luke	Luke	42	16	29	Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luke	Luke	42	16	30	And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
Luke	Luke	42	16	31	And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
Luke	Luke	42	17	1	Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Luke	Luke	42	17	2	It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
Luke	Luke	42	17	3	Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
Luke	Luke	42	17	4	And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.
Luke	Luke	42	17	5	And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
Luke	Luke	42	17	6	And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.
Luke	Luke	42	17	7	But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
Luke	Luke	42	17	8	And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?
Luke	Luke	42	17	9	Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.
Luke	Luke	42	17	10	So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
Luke	Luke	42	17	11	And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
Luke	Luke	42	17	12	And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:
Luke	Luke	42	17	13	And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
Luke	Luke	42	17	14	And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke	Luke	42	17	15	And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,
Luke	Luke	42	17	16	And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
Luke	Luke	42	17	17	And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
Luke	Luke	42	17	18	There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
Luke	Luke	42	17	19	And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
Luke	Luke	42	17	20	And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luke	Luke	42	17	21	Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Luke	Luke	42	17	22	And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
Luke	Luke	42	17	23	And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
Luke	Luke	42	17	24	For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
Luke	Luke	42	17	25	But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.
Luke	Luke	42	17	26	And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
Luke	Luke	42	17	27	They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
Luke	Luke	42	17	28	Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
Luke	Luke	42	17	29	But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
Luke	Luke	42	17	30	Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
Luke	Luke	42	17	31	In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
Luke	Luke	42	17	32	Remember Lot's wife.
Luke	Luke	42	17	33	Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
Luke	Luke	42	17	34	I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
Luke	Luke	42	17	35	Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luke	Luke	42	17	36	Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Luke	Luke	42	17	37	And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
Luke	Luke	42	18	1	And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
Luke	Luke	42	18	2	Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
Luke	Luke	42	18	3	And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
Luke	Luke	42	18	4	And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
Luke	Luke	42	18	5	Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
Luke	Luke	42	18	6	And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
Luke	Luke	42	18	7	And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
Luke	Luke	42	18	8	I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
Luke	Luke	42	18	9	And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
Luke	Luke	42	18	10	Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
Luke	Luke	42	18	11	The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
Luke	Luke	42	18	12	I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
Luke	Luke	42	18	13	And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
Luke	Luke	42	18	14	I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
Luke	Luke	42	18	15	And they brought unto him also infants, that he would touch them: but when his disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Luke	Luke	42	18	16	But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	18	17	Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.
Luke	Luke	42	18	18	And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
Luke	Luke	42	18	19	And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
Luke	Luke	42	18	20	Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
Luke	Luke	42	18	21	And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up.
Luke	Luke	42	18	22	Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
Luke	Luke	42	18	23	And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich.
Luke	Luke	42	18	24	And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
Luke	Luke	42	18	25	For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	18	26	And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
Luke	Luke	42	18	27	And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Luke	Luke	42	18	28	Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, and followed thee.
Luke	Luke	42	18	29	And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Luke	Luke	42	18	30	Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Luke	Luke	42	18	31	Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
Luke	Luke	42	18	32	For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
Luke	Luke	42	18	33	And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
Luke	Luke	42	18	34	And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Luke	Luke	42	18	35	And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging:
Luke	Luke	42	18	36	And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
Luke	Luke	42	18	37	And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.
Luke	Luke	42	18	38	And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke	Luke	42	18	39	And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
Luke	Luke	42	18	40	And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
Luke	Luke	42	18	41	Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
Luke	Luke	42	18	42	And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
Luke	Luke	42	18	43	And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
Luke	Luke	42	19	1	And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
Luke	Luke	42	19	2	And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.
Luke	Luke	42	19	3	And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.
Luke	Luke	42	19	4	And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.
Luke	Luke	42	19	5	And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.
Luke	Luke	42	19	6	And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Luke	Luke	42	19	7	And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.
Luke	Luke	42	19	8	And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
Luke	Luke	42	19	9	And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
Luke	Luke	42	19	10	For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Luke	Luke	42	19	11	And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
Luke	Luke	42	19	12	He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
Luke	Luke	42	19	13	And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
Luke	Luke	42	19	14	But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.
Luke	Luke	42	19	15	And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.
Luke	Luke	42	19	16	Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
Luke	Luke	42	19	17	And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
Luke	Luke	42	19	18	And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.
Luke	Luke	42	19	19	And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.
Luke	Luke	42	19	20	And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
Luke	Luke	42	19	21	For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.
Luke	Luke	42	19	22	And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:
Luke	Luke	42	19	23	Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?
Luke	Luke	42	19	24	And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
Luke	Luke	42	19	25	(And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)
Luke	Luke	42	19	26	For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.
Luke	Luke	42	19	27	But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Luke	Luke	42	19	28	And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	19	29	And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,
Luke	Luke	42	19	30	Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.
Luke	Luke	42	19	31	And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.
Luke	Luke	42	19	32	And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	19	33	And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
Luke	Luke	42	19	34	And they said, The Lord hath need of him.
Luke	Luke	42	19	35	And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.
Luke	Luke	42	19	36	And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.
Luke	Luke	42	19	37	And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
Luke	Luke	42	19	38	Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
Luke	Luke	42	19	39	And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
Luke	Luke	42	19	40	And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Luke	Luke	42	19	41	And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
Luke	Luke	42	19	42	Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
Luke	Luke	42	19	43	For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
Luke	Luke	42	19	44	And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.
Luke	Luke	42	19	45	And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;
Luke	Luke	42	19	46	Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.
Luke	Luke	42	19	47	And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
Luke	Luke	42	19	48	And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
Luke	Luke	42	20	1	And it came to pass, that on one of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders,
Luke	Luke	42	20	2	And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority?
Luke	Luke	42	20	3	And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
Luke	Luke	42	20	4	The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
Luke	Luke	42	20	5	And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?
Luke	Luke	42	20	6	But and if we say, Of men; all the people will stone us: for they be persuaded that John was a prophet.
Luke	Luke	42	20	7	And they answered, that they could not tell whence it was.
Luke	Luke	42	20	8	And Jesus said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Luke	Luke	42	20	9	Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
Luke	Luke	42	20	10	And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
Luke	Luke	42	20	11	And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.
Luke	Luke	42	20	12	And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.
Luke	Luke	42	20	13	Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.
Luke	Luke	42	20	14	But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
Luke	Luke	42	20	15	So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
Luke	Luke	42	20	16	He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid.
Luke	Luke	42	20	17	And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?
Luke	Luke	42	20	18	Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Luke	Luke	42	20	19	And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.
Luke	Luke	42	20	20	And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
Luke	Luke	42	20	21	And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
Luke	Luke	42	20	22	Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
Luke	Luke	42	20	23	But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
Luke	Luke	42	20	24	Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
Luke	Luke	42	20	25	And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
Luke	Luke	42	20	26	And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
Luke	Luke	42	20	27	Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
Luke	Luke	42	20	28	Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
Luke	Luke	42	20	29	There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.
Luke	Luke	42	20	30	And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.
Luke	Luke	42	20	31	And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
Luke	Luke	42	20	32	Last of all the woman died also.
Luke	Luke	42	20	33	Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
Luke	Luke	42	20	34	And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luke	Luke	42	20	35	But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luke	Luke	42	20	36	Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Luke	Luke	42	20	37	Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Luke	Luke	42	20	38	For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him.
Luke	Luke	42	20	39	Then certain of the scribes answering said, Master, thou hast well said.
Luke	Luke	42	20	40	And after that they durst not ask him any question at all.
Luke	Luke	42	20	41	And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
Luke	Luke	42	20	42	And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke	Luke	42	20	43	Till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Luke	Luke	42	20	44	David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Luke	Luke	42	20	45	Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples,
Luke	Luke	42	20	46	Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
Luke	Luke	42	20	47	Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
Luke	Luke	42	21	1	And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.
Luke	Luke	42	21	2	And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.
Luke	Luke	42	21	3	And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:
Luke	Luke	42	21	4	For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Luke	Luke	42	21	5	And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,
Luke	Luke	42	21	6	As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Luke	Luke	42	21	7	And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?
Luke	Luke	42	21	8	And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.
Luke	Luke	42	21	9	But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.
Luke	Luke	42	21	10	Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
Luke	Luke	42	21	11	And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke	Luke	42	21	12	But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
Luke	Luke	42	21	13	And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
Luke	Luke	42	21	14	Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
Luke	Luke	42	21	15	For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
Luke	Luke	42	21	16	And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
Luke	Luke	42	21	17	And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
Luke	Luke	42	21	18	But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
Luke	Luke	42	21	19	In your patience possess ye your souls.
Luke	Luke	42	21	20	And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luke	Luke	42	21	21	Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
Luke	Luke	42	21	22	For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
Luke	Luke	42	21	23	But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
Luke	Luke	42	21	24	And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Luke	Luke	42	21	25	And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke	Luke	42	21	26	Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
Luke	Luke	42	21	27	And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Luke	Luke	42	21	28	And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Luke	Luke	42	21	29	And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
Luke	Luke	42	21	30	When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
Luke	Luke	42	21	31	So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Luke	Luke	42	21	32	Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Luke	Luke	42	21	33	Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
Luke	Luke	42	21	34	And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luke	Luke	42	21	35	For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Luke	Luke	42	21	36	Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
Luke	Luke	42	21	37	And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives.
Luke	Luke	42	21	38	And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	1	Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
Luke	Luke	42	22	2	And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
Luke	Luke	42	22	3	Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
Luke	Luke	42	22	4	And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
Luke	Luke	42	22	5	And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
Luke	Luke	42	22	6	And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.
Luke	Luke	42	22	7	Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
Luke	Luke	42	22	8	And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
Luke	Luke	42	22	9	And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
Luke	Luke	42	22	10	And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
Luke	Luke	42	22	11	And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
Luke	Luke	42	22	12	And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
Luke	Luke	42	22	13	And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
Luke	Luke	42	22	14	And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	15	And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Luke	Luke	42	22	16	For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	22	17	And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
Luke	Luke	42	22	18	For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luke	Luke	42	22	19	And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Luke	Luke	42	22	20	Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
Luke	Luke	42	22	21	But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
Luke	Luke	42	22	22	And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
Luke	Luke	42	22	23	And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
Luke	Luke	42	22	24	And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
Luke	Luke	42	22	25	And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
Luke	Luke	42	22	26	But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Luke	Luke	42	22	27	For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Luke	Luke	42	22	28	Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
Luke	Luke	42	22	29	And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Luke	Luke	42	22	30	That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luke	Luke	42	22	31	And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
Luke	Luke	42	22	32	But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
Luke	Luke	42	22	33	And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
Luke	Luke	42	22	34	And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
Luke	Luke	42	22	35	And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
Luke	Luke	42	22	36	Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Luke	Luke	42	22	37	For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.
Luke	Luke	42	22	38	And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Luke	Luke	42	22	39	And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	40	And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Luke	Luke	42	22	41	And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
Luke	Luke	42	22	42	Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
Luke	Luke	42	22	43	And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	44	And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
Luke	Luke	42	22	45	And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
Luke	Luke	42	22	46	And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Luke	Luke	42	22	47	And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	48	But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Luke	Luke	42	22	49	When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
Luke	Luke	42	22	50	And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
Luke	Luke	42	22	51	And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	52	Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?
Luke	Luke	42	22	53	When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
Luke	Luke	42	22	54	Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.
Luke	Luke	42	22	55	And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them.
Luke	Luke	42	22	56	But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	57	And he denied him, saying, Woman, I know him not.
Luke	Luke	42	22	58	And after a little while another saw him, and said, Thou art also of them. And Peter said, Man, I am not.
Luke	Luke	42	22	59	And about the space of one hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him: for he is a Galilaean.
Luke	Luke	42	22	60	And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
Luke	Luke	42	22	61	And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
Luke	Luke	42	22	62	And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Luke	Luke	42	22	63	And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	64	And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
Luke	Luke	42	22	65	And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.
Luke	Luke	42	22	66	And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,
Luke	Luke	42	22	67	Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
Luke	Luke	42	22	68	And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
Luke	Luke	42	22	69	Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Luke	Luke	42	22	70	Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
Luke	Luke	42	22	71	And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
Luke	Luke	42	23	1	And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.
Luke	Luke	42	23	2	And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.
Luke	Luke	42	23	3	And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.
Luke	Luke	42	23	4	Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.
Luke	Luke	42	23	5	And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.
Luke	Luke	42	23	6	When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.
Luke	Luke	42	23	7	And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.
Luke	Luke	42	23	8	And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	9	Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.
Luke	Luke	42	23	10	And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	11	And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.
Luke	Luke	42	23	12	And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
Luke	Luke	42	23	13	And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,
Luke	Luke	42	23	14	Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:
Luke	Luke	42	23	15	No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	16	I will therefore chastise him, and release him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	17	(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)
Luke	Luke	42	23	18	And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:
Luke	Luke	42	23	19	(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)
Luke	Luke	42	23	20	Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.
Luke	Luke	42	23	21	But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	22	And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.
Luke	Luke	42	23	23	And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.
Luke	Luke	42	23	24	And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required.
Luke	Luke	42	23	25	And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.
Luke	Luke	42	23	26	And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.
Luke	Luke	42	23	27	And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.
Luke	Luke	42	23	28	But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.
Luke	Luke	42	23	29	For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.
Luke	Luke	42	23	30	Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
Luke	Luke	42	23	31	For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
Luke	Luke	42	23	32	And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Luke	Luke	42	23	33	And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Luke	Luke	42	23	34	Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Luke	Luke	42	23	35	And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.
Luke	Luke	42	23	36	And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,
Luke	Luke	42	23	37	And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.
Luke	Luke	42	23	38	And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Luke	Luke	42	23	39	And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luke	Luke	42	23	40	But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
Luke	Luke	42	23	41	And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luke	Luke	42	23	42	And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
Luke	Luke	42	23	43	And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Luke	Luke	42	23	44	And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
Luke	Luke	42	23	45	And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
Luke	Luke	42	23	46	And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.
Luke	Luke	42	23	47	Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.
Luke	Luke	42	23	48	And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.
Luke	Luke	42	23	49	And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.
Luke	Luke	42	23	50	And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:
Luke	Luke	42	23	51	(The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.
Luke	Luke	42	23	52	This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Luke	Luke	42	23	53	And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.
Luke	Luke	42	23	54	And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
Luke	Luke	42	23	55	And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.
Luke	Luke	42	23	56	And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.
Luke	Luke	42	24	1	Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	2	And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
Luke	Luke	42	24	3	And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
Luke	Luke	42	24	4	And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
Luke	Luke	42	24	5	And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
Luke	Luke	42	24	6	He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
Luke	Luke	42	24	7	Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
Luke	Luke	42	24	8	And they remembered his words,
Luke	Luke	42	24	9	And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
Luke	Luke	42	24	10	It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
Luke	Luke	42	24	11	And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
Luke	Luke	42	24	12	Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.
Luke	Luke	42	24	13	And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
Luke	Luke	42	24	14	And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
Luke	Luke	42	24	15	And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	16	But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
Luke	Luke	42	24	17	And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
Luke	Luke	42	24	18	And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
Luke	Luke	42	24	19	And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
Luke	Luke	42	24	20	And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
Luke	Luke	42	24	21	But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
Luke	Luke	42	24	22	Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
Luke	Luke	42	24	23	And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
Luke	Luke	42	24	24	And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
Luke	Luke	42	24	25	Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
Luke	Luke	42	24	26	Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Luke	Luke	42	24	27	And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke	Luke	42	24	28	And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
Luke	Luke	42	24	29	But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	30	And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	31	And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
Luke	Luke	42	24	32	And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
Luke	Luke	42	24	33	And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
Luke	Luke	42	24	34	Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
Luke	Luke	42	24	35	And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
Luke	Luke	42	24	36	And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
Luke	Luke	42	24	37	But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Luke	Luke	42	24	38	And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
Luke	Luke	42	24	39	Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Luke	Luke	42	24	40	And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
Luke	Luke	42	24	41	And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
Luke	Luke	42	24	42	And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
Luke	Luke	42	24	43	And he took it, and did eat before them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	44	And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
Luke	Luke	42	24	45	Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
Luke	Luke	42	24	46	And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luke	Luke	42	24	47	And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Luke	Luke	42	24	48	And ye are witnesses of these things.
Luke	Luke	42	24	49	And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Luke	Luke	42	24	50	And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.
Luke	Luke	42	24	51	And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
Luke	Luke	42	24	52	And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
Luke	Luke	42	24	53	And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
John	John	43	1	1	In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John	John	43	1	2	The same was in the beginning with God.
John	John	43	1	3	All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John	John	43	1	4	In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John	John	43	1	5	And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John	John	43	1	6	There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
John	John	43	1	7	The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
John	John	43	1	8	He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
John	John	43	1	9	That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
John	John	43	1	10	He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
John	John	43	1	11	He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John	John	43	1	12	But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John	John	43	1	13	Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John	John	43	1	14	And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John	John	43	1	15	John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
John	John	43	1	16	And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
John	John	43	1	17	For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
John	John	43	1	18	No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John	John	43	1	19	And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
John	John	43	1	20	And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
John	John	43	1	21	And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.
John	John	43	1	22	Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
John	John	43	1	23	He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.
John	John	43	1	24	And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.
John	John	43	1	25	And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?
John	John	43	1	26	John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;
John	John	43	1	27	He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose.
John	John	43	1	28	These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
John	John	43	1	29	The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
John	John	43	1	30	This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
John	John	43	1	31	And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
John	John	43	1	32	And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
John	John	43	1	33	And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
John	John	43	1	34	And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
John	John	43	1	35	Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples;
John	John	43	1	36	And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
John	John	43	1	37	And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
John	John	43	1	38	Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou?
John	John	43	1	39	He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour.
John	John	43	1	40	One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
John	John	43	1	41	He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
John	John	43	1	42	And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone.
John	John	43	1	43	The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.
John	John	43	1	44	Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
John	John	43	1	45	Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
John	John	43	1	46	And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
John	John	43	1	47	Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
John	John	43	1	48	Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
John	John	43	1	49	Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
John	John	43	1	50	Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
John	John	43	1	51	And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
John	John	43	2	1	And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
John	John	43	2	2	And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
John	John	43	2	3	And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
John	John	43	2	4	Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
John	John	43	2	5	His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
John	John	43	2	6	And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
John	John	43	2	7	Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
John	John	43	2	8	And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
John	John	43	2	9	When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
John	John	43	2	10	And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
John	John	43	2	11	This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
John	John	43	2	12	After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.
John	John	43	2	13	And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
John	John	43	2	14	And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
John	John	43	2	15	And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
John	John	43	2	16	And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
John	John	43	2	17	And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
John	John	43	2	18	Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
John	John	43	2	19	Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
John	John	43	2	20	Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
John	John	43	2	21	But he spake of the temple of his body.
John	John	43	2	22	When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
John	John	43	2	23	Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
John	John	43	2	24	But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
John	John	43	2	25	And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
John	John	43	3	1	There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
John	John	43	3	2	The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
John	John	43	3	3	Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John	John	43	3	4	Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
John	John	43	3	5	Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John	John	43	3	6	That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John	John	43	3	7	Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John	John	43	3	8	The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John	John	43	3	9	Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
John	John	43	3	10	Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
John	John	43	3	11	Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
John	John	43	3	12	If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
John	John	43	3	13	And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John	John	43	3	14	And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John	John	43	3	15	That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John	John	43	3	16	For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John	John	43	3	17	For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
John	John	43	3	18	He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John	John	43	3	19	And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John	John	43	3	20	For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John	John	43	3	21	But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
John	John	43	3	22	After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
John	John	43	3	23	And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
John	John	43	3	24	For John was not yet cast into prison.
John	John	43	3	25	Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
John	John	43	3	26	And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
John	John	43	3	27	John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
John	John	43	3	28	Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
John	John	43	3	29	He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
John	John	43	3	30	He must increase, but I must decrease.
John	John	43	3	31	He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
John	John	43	3	32	And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
John	John	43	3	33	He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
John	John	43	3	34	For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
John	John	43	3	35	The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand.
John	John	43	3	36	He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John	John	43	4	1	When therefore the LORD knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,
John	John	43	4	2	(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,)
John	John	43	4	3	He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
John	John	43	4	4	And he must needs go through Samaria.
John	John	43	4	5	Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John	John	43	4	6	Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
John	John	43	4	7	There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
John	John	43	4	8	(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
John	John	43	4	9	Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
John	John	43	4	10	Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John	John	43	4	11	The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
John	John	43	4	12	Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
John	John	43	4	13	Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
John	John	43	4	14	But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John	John	43	4	15	The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
John	John	43	4	16	Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
John	John	43	4	17	The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
John	John	43	4	18	For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
John	John	43	4	19	The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
John	John	43	4	20	Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
John	John	43	4	21	Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John	John	43	4	22	Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
John	John	43	4	23	But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John	John	43	4	24	God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
John	John	43	4	25	The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John	John	43	4	26	Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
John	John	43	4	27	And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
John	John	43	4	28	The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
John	John	43	4	29	Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
John	John	43	4	30	Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
John	John	43	4	31	In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
John	John	43	4	32	But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
John	John	43	4	33	Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
John	John	43	4	34	Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
John	John	43	4	35	Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
John	John	43	4	36	And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
John	John	43	4	37	And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
John	John	43	4	38	I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
John	John	43	4	39	And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
John	John	43	4	40	So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
John	John	43	4	41	And many more believed because of his own word;
John	John	43	4	42	And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
John	John	43	4	43	Now after two days he departed thence, and went into Galilee.
John	John	43	4	44	For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
John	John	43	4	45	Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
John	John	43	4	46	So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
John	John	43	4	47	When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
John	John	43	4	48	Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
John	John	43	4	49	The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
John	John	43	4	50	Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
John	John	43	4	51	And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
John	John	43	4	52	Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
John	John	43	4	53	So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
John	John	43	4	54	This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.
John	John	43	5	1	After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
John	John	43	5	2	Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
John	John	43	5	3	In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
John	John	43	5	4	For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
John	John	43	5	5	And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
John	John	43	5	6	When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
John	John	43	5	7	The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
John	John	43	5	8	Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
John	John	43	5	9	And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
John	John	43	5	10	The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
John	John	43	5	11	He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
John	John	43	5	12	Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
John	John	43	5	13	And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.
John	John	43	5	14	Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John	John	43	5	15	The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
John	John	43	5	16	And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
John	John	43	5	17	But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
John	John	43	5	18	Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
John	John	43	5	19	Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
John	John	43	5	20	For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
John	John	43	5	21	For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
John	John	43	5	22	For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
John	John	43	5	23	That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
John	John	43	5	24	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John	John	43	5	25	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
John	John	43	5	26	For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
John	John	43	5	27	And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
John	John	43	5	28	Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
John	John	43	5	29	And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
John	John	43	5	30	I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
John	John	43	5	31	If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
John	John	43	5	32	There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.
John	John	43	5	33	Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
John	John	43	5	34	But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
John	John	43	5	35	He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
John	John	43	5	36	But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
John	John	43	5	37	And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
John	John	43	5	38	And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
John	John	43	5	39	Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
John	John	43	5	40	And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
John	John	43	5	41	I receive not honour from men.
John	John	43	5	42	But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
John	John	43	5	43	I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
John	John	43	5	44	How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
John	John	43	5	45	Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
John	John	43	5	46	For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
John	John	43	5	47	But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
John	John	43	6	1	After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
John	John	43	6	2	And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
John	John	43	6	3	And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
John	John	43	6	4	And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John	John	43	6	5	When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
John	John	43	6	6	And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
John	John	43	6	7	Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
John	John	43	6	8	One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
John	John	43	6	9	There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
John	John	43	6	10	And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
John	John	43	6	11	And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
John	John	43	6	12	When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
John	John	43	6	13	Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
John	John	43	6	14	Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
John	John	43	6	15	When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
John	John	43	6	16	And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
John	John	43	6	17	And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
John	John	43	6	18	And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
John	John	43	6	19	So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
John	John	43	6	20	But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
John	John	43	6	21	Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
John	John	43	6	22	The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
John	John	43	6	23	(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
John	John	43	6	24	When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
John	John	43	6	25	And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
John	John	43	6	26	Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
John	John	43	6	27	Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
John	John	43	6	28	Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
John	John	43	6	29	Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John	John	43	6	30	They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
John	John	43	6	31	Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John	John	43	6	32	Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
John	John	43	6	33	For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John	John	43	6	34	Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
John	John	43	6	35	And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John	John	43	6	36	But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
John	John	43	6	37	All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John	John	43	6	38	For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John	John	43	6	39	And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
John	John	43	6	40	And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John	John	43	6	41	The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
John	John	43	6	42	And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
John	John	43	6	43	Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
John	John	43	6	44	No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John	John	43	6	45	It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
John	John	43	6	46	Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
John	John	43	6	47	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
John	John	43	6	48	I am that bread of life.
John	John	43	6	49	Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
John	John	43	6	50	This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
John	John	43	6	51	I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John	John	43	6	52	The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
John	John	43	6	53	Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John	John	43	6	54	Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John	John	43	6	55	For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
John	John	43	6	56	He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
John	John	43	6	57	As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
John	John	43	6	58	This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
John	John	43	6	59	These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
John	John	43	6	60	Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
John	John	43	6	61	When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
John	John	43	6	62	What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
John	John	43	6	63	It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John	John	43	6	64	But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
John	John	43	6	65	And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John	John	43	6	66	From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
John	John	43	6	67	Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John	John	43	6	68	Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John	John	43	6	69	And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
John	John	43	6	70	Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
John	John	43	6	71	He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
John	John	43	7	1	After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
John	John	43	7	2	Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
John	John	43	7	3	His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
John	John	43	7	4	For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
John	John	43	7	5	For neither did his brethren believe in him.
John	John	43	7	6	Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
John	John	43	7	7	The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
John	John	43	7	8	Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
John	John	43	7	9	When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
John	John	43	7	10	But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
John	John	43	7	11	Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
John	John	43	7	12	And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
John	John	43	7	13	Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
John	John	43	7	14	Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
John	John	43	7	15	And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
John	John	43	7	16	Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
John	John	43	7	17	If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
John	John	43	7	18	He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
John	John	43	7	19	Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
John	John	43	7	20	The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
John	John	43	7	21	Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
John	John	43	7	22	Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
John	John	43	7	23	If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
John	John	43	7	24	Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
John	John	43	7	25	Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
John	John	43	7	26	But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
John	John	43	7	27	Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
John	John	43	7	28	Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
John	John	43	7	29	But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
John	John	43	7	30	Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
John	John	43	7	31	And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
John	John	43	7	32	The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
John	John	43	7	33	Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
John	John	43	7	34	Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
John	John	43	7	35	Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
John	John	43	7	36	What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
John	John	43	7	37	In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
John	John	43	7	38	He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
John	John	43	7	39	(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John	John	43	7	40	Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
John	John	43	7	41	Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
John	John	43	7	42	Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
John	John	43	7	43	So there was a division among the people because of him.
John	John	43	7	44	And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
John	John	43	7	45	Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
John	John	43	7	46	The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
John	John	43	7	47	Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
John	John	43	7	48	Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
John	John	43	7	49	But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
John	John	43	7	50	Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
John	John	43	7	51	Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
John	John	43	7	52	They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
John	John	43	7	53	And every man went unto his own house.
John	John	43	8	1	Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
John	John	43	8	2	And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
John	John	43	8	3	And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
John	John	43	8	4	They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
John	John	43	8	5	Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
John	John	43	8	6	This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
John	John	43	8	7	So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
John	John	43	8	8	And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
John	John	43	8	9	And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
John	John	43	8	10	When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
John	John	43	8	11	She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John	John	43	8	12	Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John	John	43	8	13	The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
John	John	43	8	14	Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
John	John	43	8	15	Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
John	John	43	8	16	And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
John	John	43	8	17	It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
John	John	43	8	18	I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
John	John	43	8	19	Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
John	John	43	8	20	These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
John	John	43	8	21	Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
John	John	43	8	22	Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
John	John	43	8	23	And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
John	John	43	8	24	I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
John	John	43	8	25	Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
John	John	43	8	26	I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
John	John	43	8	27	They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
John	John	43	8	28	Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
John	John	43	8	29	And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
John	John	43	8	30	As he spake these words, many believed on him.
John	John	43	8	31	Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
John	John	43	8	32	And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John	John	43	8	33	They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
John	John	43	8	34	Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
John	John	43	8	35	And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
John	John	43	8	36	If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
John	John	43	8	37	I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
John	John	43	8	38	I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
John	John	43	8	39	They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
John	John	43	8	40	But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
John	John	43	8	41	Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
John	John	43	8	42	Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
John	John	43	8	43	Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
John	John	43	8	44	Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
John	John	43	8	45	And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
John	John	43	8	46	Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
John	John	43	8	47	He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
John	John	43	8	48	Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
John	John	43	8	49	Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
John	John	43	8	50	And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
John	John	43	8	51	Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
John	John	43	8	52	Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
John	John	43	8	53	Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
John	John	43	8	54	Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
John	John	43	8	55	Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
John	John	43	8	56	Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
John	John	43	8	57	Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
John	John	43	8	58	Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
John	John	43	8	59	Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
John	John	43	9	1	And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
John	John	43	9	2	And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
John	John	43	9	3	Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
John	John	43	9	4	I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John	John	43	9	5	As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
John	John	43	9	6	When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
John	John	43	9	7	And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
John	John	43	9	8	The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
John	John	43	9	9	Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
John	John	43	9	10	Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
John	John	43	9	11	He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
John	John	43	9	12	Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
John	John	43	9	13	They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
John	John	43	9	14	And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
John	John	43	9	15	Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
John	John	43	9	16	Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
John	John	43	9	17	They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
John	John	43	9	18	But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
John	John	43	9	19	And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
John	John	43	9	20	His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
John	John	43	9	21	But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
John	John	43	9	22	These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
John	John	43	9	23	Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
John	John	43	9	24	Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
John	John	43	9	25	He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
John	John	43	9	26	Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
John	John	43	9	27	He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
John	John	43	9	28	Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.
John	John	43	9	29	We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
John	John	43	9	30	The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
John	John	43	9	31	Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
John	John	43	9	32	Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
John	John	43	9	33	If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
John	John	43	9	34	They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
John	John	43	9	35	Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
John	John	43	9	36	He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
John	John	43	9	37	And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
John	John	43	9	38	And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
John	John	43	9	39	And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
John	John	43	9	40	And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
John	John	43	9	41	Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
John	John	43	10	1	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
John	John	43	10	2	But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
John	John	43	10	3	To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
John	John	43	10	4	And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
John	John	43	10	5	And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
John	John	43	10	6	This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
John	John	43	10	7	Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John	John	43	10	8	All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
John	John	43	10	9	I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
John	John	43	10	10	The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John	John	43	10	11	I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John	John	43	10	12	But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
John	John	43	10	13	The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
John	John	43	10	14	I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
John	John	43	10	15	As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John	John	43	10	16	And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John	John	43	10	17	Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
John	John	43	10	18	No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John	John	43	10	19	There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.
John	John	43	10	20	And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?
John	John	43	10	21	Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
John	John	43	10	22	And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
John	John	43	10	23	And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
John	John	43	10	24	Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.
John	John	43	10	25	Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
John	John	43	10	26	But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
John	John	43	10	27	My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
John	John	43	10	28	And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John	John	43	10	29	My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John	John	43	10	30	I and my Father are one.
John	John	43	10	31	Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
John	John	43	10	32	Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John	John	43	10	33	The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
John	John	43	10	34	Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
John	John	43	10	35	If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
John	John	43	10	36	Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
John	John	43	10	37	If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
John	John	43	10	38	But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
John	John	43	10	39	Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
John	John	43	10	40	And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
John	John	43	10	41	And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
John	John	43	10	42	And many believed on him there.
John	John	43	11	1	Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
John	John	43	11	2	(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
John	John	43	11	3	Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
John	John	43	11	4	When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
John	John	43	11	5	Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
John	John	43	11	6	When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
John	John	43	11	7	Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
John	John	43	11	8	His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
John	John	43	11	9	Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
John	John	43	11	10	But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
John	John	43	11	11	These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
John	John	43	11	12	Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
John	John	43	11	13	Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
John	John	43	11	14	Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
John	John	43	11	15	And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
John	John	43	11	16	Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.
John	John	43	11	17	Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days already.
John	John	43	11	18	Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
John	John	43	11	19	And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
John	John	43	11	20	Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
John	John	43	11	21	Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
John	John	43	11	22	But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
John	John	43	11	23	Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
John	John	43	11	24	Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
John	John	43	11	25	Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
John	John	43	11	26	And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John	John	43	11	27	She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
John	John	43	11	28	And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
John	John	43	11	29	As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
John	John	43	11	30	Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
John	John	43	11	31	The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
John	John	43	11	32	Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
John	John	43	11	33	When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
John	John	43	11	34	And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
John	John	43	11	35	Jesus wept.
John	John	43	11	36	Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
John	John	43	11	37	And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
John	John	43	11	38	Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
John	John	43	11	39	Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
John	John	43	11	40	Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
John	John	43	11	41	Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
John	John	43	11	42	And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
John	John	43	11	43	And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
John	John	43	11	44	And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
John	John	43	11	45	Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
John	John	43	11	46	But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done.
John	John	43	11	47	Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
John	John	43	11	48	If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
John	John	43	11	49	And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
John	John	43	11	50	Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.
John	John	43	11	51	And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
John	John	43	11	52	And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.
John	John	43	11	53	Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
John	John	43	11	54	Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples.
John	John	43	11	55	And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
John	John	43	11	56	Then sought they for Jesus, and spake among themselves, as they stood in the temple, What think ye, that he will not come to the feast?
John	John	43	11	57	Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him.
John	John	43	12	1	Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
John	John	43	12	2	There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.
John	John	43	12	3	Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
John	John	43	12	4	Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him,
John	John	43	12	5	Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
John	John	43	12	6	This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
John	John	43	12	7	Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
John	John	43	12	8	For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
John	John	43	12	9	Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
John	John	43	12	10	But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
John	John	43	12	11	Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
John	John	43	12	12	On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
John	John	43	12	13	Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
John	John	43	12	14	And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
John	John	43	12	15	Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
John	John	43	12	16	These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things unto him.
John	John	43	12	17	The people therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
John	John	43	12	18	For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle.
John	John	43	12	19	The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
John	John	43	12	20	And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:
John	John	43	12	21	The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
John	John	43	12	22	Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
John	John	43	12	23	And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
John	John	43	12	24	Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
John	John	43	12	25	He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
John	John	43	12	26	If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
John	John	43	12	27	Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
John	John	43	12	28	Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
John	John	43	12	29	The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him.
John	John	43	12	30	Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
John	John	43	12	31	Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
John	John	43	12	32	And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John	John	43	12	33	This he said, signifying what death he should die.
John	John	43	12	34	The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man?
John	John	43	12	35	Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
John	John	43	12	36	While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.
John	John	43	12	37	But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
John	John	43	12	38	That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
John	John	43	12	39	Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again,
John	John	43	12	40	He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
John	John	43	12	41	These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
John	John	43	12	42	Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John	John	43	12	43	For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
John	John	43	12	44	Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
John	John	43	12	45	And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
John	John	43	12	46	I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
John	John	43	12	47	And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
John	John	43	12	48	He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
John	John	43	12	49	For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
John	John	43	12	50	And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
John	John	43	13	1	Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.
John	John	43	13	2	And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him;
John	John	43	13	3	Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
John	John	43	13	4	He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.
John	John	43	13	5	After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.
John	John	43	13	6	Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
John	John	43	13	7	Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.
John	John	43	13	8	Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.
John	John	43	13	9	Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
John	John	43	13	10	Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
John	John	43	13	11	For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.
John	John	43	13	12	So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
John	John	43	13	13	Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
John	John	43	13	14	If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
John	John	43	13	15	For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.
John	John	43	13	16	Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
John	John	43	13	17	If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
John	John	43	13	18	I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
John	John	43	13	19	Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.
John	John	43	13	20	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
John	John	43	13	21	When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
John	John	43	13	22	Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.
John	John	43	13	23	Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John	John	43	13	24	Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.
John	John	43	13	25	He then lying on Jesus' breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
John	John	43	13	26	Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
John	John	43	13	27	And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.
John	John	43	13	28	Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
John	John	43	13	29	For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.
John	John	43	13	30	He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
John	John	43	13	31	Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
John	John	43	13	32	If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
John	John	43	13	33	Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
John	John	43	13	34	A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John	John	43	13	35	By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John	John	43	13	36	Simon Peter said unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered him, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards.
John	John	43	13	37	Peter said unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thy sake.
John	John	43	13	38	Jesus answered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.
John	John	43	14	1	Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John	John	43	14	2	In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John	John	43	14	3	And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John	John	43	14	4	And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
John	John	43	14	5	Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
John	John	43	14	6	Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John	John	43	14	7	If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
John	John	43	14	8	Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
John	John	43	14	9	Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
John	John	43	14	10	Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
John	John	43	14	11	Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
John	John	43	14	12	Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
John	John	43	14	13	And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John	John	43	14	14	If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John	John	43	14	15	If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John	John	43	14	16	And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
John	John	43	14	17	Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John	John	43	14	18	I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
John	John	43	14	19	Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John	John	43	14	20	At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
John	John	43	14	21	He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
John	John	43	14	22	Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
John	John	43	14	23	Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John	John	43	14	24	He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
John	John	43	14	25	These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
John	John	43	14	26	But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John	John	43	14	27	Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John	John	43	14	28	Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
John	John	43	14	29	And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
John	John	43	14	30	Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
John	John	43	14	31	But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
John	John	43	15	1	I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John	John	43	15	2	Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
John	John	43	15	3	Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
John	John	43	15	4	Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
John	John	43	15	5	I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
John	John	43	15	6	If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
John	John	43	15	7	If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John	John	43	15	8	Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John	John	43	15	9	As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
John	John	43	15	10	If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
John	John	43	15	11	These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John	John	43	15	12	This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John	John	43	15	13	Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John	John	43	15	14	Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John	John	43	15	15	Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
John	John	43	15	16	Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John	John	43	15	17	These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John	John	43	15	18	If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John	John	43	15	19	If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
John	John	43	15	20	Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
John	John	43	15	21	But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
John	John	43	15	22	If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
John	John	43	15	23	He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
John	John	43	15	24	If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
John	John	43	15	25	But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
John	John	43	15	26	But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John	John	43	15	27	And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John	John	43	16	1	These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
John	John	43	16	2	They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
John	John	43	16	3	And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
John	John	43	16	4	But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
John	John	43	16	5	But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
John	John	43	16	6	But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
John	John	43	16	7	Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
John	John	43	16	8	And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
John	John	43	16	9	Of sin, because they believe not on me;
John	John	43	16	10	Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
John	John	43	16	11	Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
John	John	43	16	12	I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
John	John	43	16	13	Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
John	John	43	16	14	He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John	John	43	16	15	All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
John	John	43	16	16	A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
John	John	43	16	17	Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
John	John	43	16	18	They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
John	John	43	16	19	Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
John	John	43	16	20	Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
John	John	43	16	21	A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
John	John	43	16	22	And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
John	John	43	16	23	And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
John	John	43	16	24	Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
John	John	43	16	25	These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
John	John	43	16	26	At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
John	John	43	16	27	For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
John	John	43	16	28	I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
John	John	43	16	29	His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
John	John	43	16	30	Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
John	John	43	16	31	Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
John	John	43	16	32	Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
John	John	43	16	33	These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
John	John	43	17	1	These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
John	John	43	17	2	As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
John	John	43	17	3	And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John	John	43	17	4	I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John	John	43	17	5	And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
John	John	43	17	6	I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
John	John	43	17	7	Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
John	John	43	17	8	For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John	John	43	17	9	I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
John	John	43	17	10	And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
John	John	43	17	11	And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
John	John	43	17	12	While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
John	John	43	17	13	And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
John	John	43	17	14	I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John	John	43	17	15	I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
John	John	43	17	16	They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
John	John	43	17	17	Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John	John	43	17	18	As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
John	John	43	17	19	And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
John	John	43	17	20	Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
John	John	43	17	21	That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
John	John	43	17	22	And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
John	John	43	17	23	I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.
John	John	43	17	24	Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
John	John	43	17	25	O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.
John	John	43	17	26	And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.
John	John	43	18	1	When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples.
John	John	43	18	2	And Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus ofttimes resorted thither with his disciples.
John	John	43	18	3	Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.
John	John	43	18	4	Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?
John	John	43	18	5	They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
John	John	43	18	6	As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
John	John	43	18	7	Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.
John	John	43	18	8	Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:
John	John	43	18	9	That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.
John	John	43	18	10	Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
John	John	43	18	11	Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
John	John	43	18	12	Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,
John	John	43	18	13	And led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year.
John	John	43	18	14	Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.
John	John	43	18	15	And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple: that disciple was known unto the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the palace of the high priest.
John	John	43	18	16	But Peter stood at the door without. Then went out that other disciple, which was known unto the high priest, and spake unto her that kept the door, and brought in Peter.
John	John	43	18	17	Then saith the damsel that kept the door unto Peter, Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith, I am not.
John	John	43	18	18	And the servants and officers stood there, who had made a fire of coals; for it was cold: and they warmed themselves: and Peter stood with them, and warmed himself.
John	John	43	18	19	The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.
John	John	43	18	20	Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.
John	John	43	18	21	Why askest thou me? ask them which heard me, what I have said unto them: behold, they know what I said.
John	John	43	18	22	And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so?
John	John	43	18	23	Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?
John	John	43	18	24	Now Annas had sent him bound unto Caiaphas the high priest.
John	John	43	18	25	And Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. They said therefore unto him, Art not thou also one of his disciples? He denied it, and said, I am not.
John	John	43	18	26	One of the servants of the high priest, being his kinsman whose ear Peter cut off, saith, Did not I see thee in the garden with him?
John	John	43	18	27	Peter then denied again: and immediately the cock crew.
John	John	43	18	28	Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.
John	John	43	18	29	Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?
John	John	43	18	30	They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.
John	John	43	18	31	Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:
John	John	43	18	32	That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.
John	John	43	18	33	Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
John	John	43	18	34	Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
John	John	43	18	35	Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
John	John	43	18	36	Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John	John	43	18	37	Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
John	John	43	18	38	Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.
John	John	43	18	39	But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
John	John	43	18	40	Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.
John	John	43	19	1	Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
John	John	43	19	2	And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe,
John	John	43	19	3	And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
John	John	43	19	4	Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him.
John	John	43	19	5	Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!
John	John	43	19	6	When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.
John	John	43	19	7	The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.
John	John	43	19	8	When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
John	John	43	19	9	And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.
John	John	43	19	10	Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?
John	John	43	19	11	Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
John	John	43	19	12	And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar.
John	John	43	19	13	When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.
John	John	43	19	14	And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
John	John	43	19	15	But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
John	John	43	19	16	Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
John	John	43	19	17	And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
John	John	43	19	18	Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
John	John	43	19	19	And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John	John	43	19	20	This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
John	John	43	19	21	Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.
John	John	43	19	22	Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.
John	John	43	19	23	Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
John	John	43	19	24	They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
John	John	43	19	25	Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
John	John	43	19	26	When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
John	John	43	19	27	Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
John	John	43	19	28	After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
John	John	43	19	29	Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
John	John	43	19	30	When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
John	John	43	19	31	The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
John	John	43	19	32	Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him.
John	John	43	19	33	But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
John	John	43	19	34	But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
John	John	43	19	35	And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
John	John	43	19	36	For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
John	John	43	19	37	And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
John	John	43	19	38	And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
John	John	43	19	39	And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
John	John	43	19	40	Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
John	John	43	19	41	Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
John	John	43	19	42	There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
John	John	43	20	1	The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
John	John	43	20	2	Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
John	John	43	20	3	Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
John	John	43	20	4	So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
John	John	43	20	5	And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
John	John	43	20	6	Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
John	John	43	20	7	And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
John	John	43	20	8	Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
John	John	43	20	9	For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
John	John	43	20	10	Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
John	John	43	20	11	But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
John	John	43	20	12	And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
John	John	43	20	13	And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
John	John	43	20	14	And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
John	John	43	20	15	Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
John	John	43	20	16	Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
John	John	43	20	17	Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
John	John	43	20	18	Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
John	John	43	20	19	Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
John	John	43	20	20	And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
John	John	43	20	21	Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
John	John	43	20	22	And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
John	John	43	20	23	Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
John	John	43	20	24	But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
John	John	43	20	25	The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
John	John	43	20	26	And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
John	John	43	20	27	Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
John	John	43	20	28	And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
John	John	43	20	29	Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John	John	43	20	30	And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
John	John	43	20	31	But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
John	John	43	21	1	After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.
John	John	43	21	2	There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.
John	John	43	21	3	Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
John	John	43	21	4	But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
John	John	43	21	5	Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
John	John	43	21	6	And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
John	John	43	21	7	Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
John	John	43	21	8	And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
John	John	43	21	9	As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
John	John	43	21	10	Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
John	John	43	21	11	Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.
John	John	43	21	12	Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
John	John	43	21	13	Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
John	John	43	21	14	This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
John	John	43	21	15	So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
John	John	43	21	16	He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John	John	43	21	17	He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
John	John	43	21	18	Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
John	John	43	21	19	This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
John	John	43	21	20	Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
John	John	43	21	21	Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
John	John	43	21	22	Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
John	John	43	21	23	Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?
John	John	43	21	24	This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
John	John	43	21	25	And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	1	The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
The Acts	Acts	44	1	2	Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
The Acts	Acts	44	1	3	To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
The Acts	Acts	44	1	4	And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	5	For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	6	When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
The Acts	Acts	44	1	7	And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	8	But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	9	And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	10	And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
The Acts	Acts	44	1	11	Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	12	Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	13	And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	14	These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	15	And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
The Acts	Acts	44	1	16	Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	17	For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	18	Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	19	And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	20	For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	21	Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
The Acts	Acts	44	1	22	Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	23	And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	24	And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,
The Acts	Acts	44	1	25	That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
The Acts	Acts	44	1	26	And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	1	And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	2	And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	3	And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	4	And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	5	And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	6	Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	7	And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?
The Acts	Acts	44	2	8	And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
The Acts	Acts	44	2	9	Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,
The Acts	Acts	44	2	10	Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
The Acts	Acts	44	2	11	Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	12	And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
The Acts	Acts	44	2	13	Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	14	But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	15	For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	16	But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
The Acts	Acts	44	2	17	And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	18	And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	19	And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	20	The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	21	And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	22	Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	23	Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	24	Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	25	For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	26	Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
The Acts	Acts	44	2	27	Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	28	Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	29	Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	30	Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
The Acts	Acts	44	2	31	He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	32	This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	33	Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	34	For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
The Acts	Acts	44	2	35	Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	36	Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	37	Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
The Acts	Acts	44	2	38	Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	39	For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the LORD our God shall call.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	40	And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	41	Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	42	And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	43	And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	44	And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
The Acts	Acts	44	2	45	And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
The Acts	Acts	44	2	46	And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
The Acts	Acts	44	2	47	Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	1	Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	2	And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
The Acts	Acts	44	3	3	Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	4	And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	5	And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	6	Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	7	And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	8	And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	9	And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
The Acts	Acts	44	3	10	And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	11	And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	12	And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
The Acts	Acts	44	3	13	The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	14	But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
The Acts	Acts	44	3	15	And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	16	And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	17	And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	18	But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	19	Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
The Acts	Acts	44	3	20	And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
The Acts	Acts	44	3	21	Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	22	For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	23	And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	24	Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	25	Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
The Acts	Acts	44	3	26	Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	1	And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	2	Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	3	And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	4	Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	5	And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	6	And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	7	And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
The Acts	Acts	44	4	8	Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	9	If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
The Acts	Acts	44	4	10	Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	11	This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	12	Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	13	Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	14	And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	15	But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	16	Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	17	But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	18	And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	19	But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	20	For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	21	So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	22	For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	23	And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	24	And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
The Acts	Acts	44	4	25	Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
The Acts	Acts	44	4	26	The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	27	For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	28	For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	29	And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	30	By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	31	And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	32	And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	33	And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	34	Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	35	And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
The Acts	Acts	44	4	36	And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
The Acts	Acts	44	4	37	Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	1	But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
The Acts	Acts	44	5	2	And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	3	But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
The Acts	Acts	44	5	4	Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	5	And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	6	And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	7	And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	8	And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	9	Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	10	Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	11	And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	12	And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	13	And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	14	And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
The Acts	Acts	44	5	15	Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	16	There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	17	Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
The Acts	Acts	44	5	18	And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	19	But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
The Acts	Acts	44	5	20	Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	21	And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	22	But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
The Acts	Acts	44	5	23	Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	24	Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	25	Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	26	Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	27	And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
The Acts	Acts	44	5	28	Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	29	Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	30	The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	31	Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	32	And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	33	When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	34	Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
The Acts	Acts	44	5	35	And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	36	For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	37	After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	38	And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
The Acts	Acts	44	5	39	But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	40	And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	41	And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
The Acts	Acts	44	5	42	And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	1	And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	2	Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	3	Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	4	But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	5	And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
The Acts	Acts	44	6	6	Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	7	And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	8	And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	9	Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	10	And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	11	Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	12	And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
The Acts	Acts	44	6	13	And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
The Acts	Acts	44	6	14	For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
The Acts	Acts	44	6	15	And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	1	Then said the high priest, Are these things so?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	2	And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	3	And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	4	Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	5	And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	6	And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	7	And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	8	And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	9	And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	10	And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	11	Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	12	But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent out our fathers first.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	13	And at the second time Joseph was made known to his brethren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	14	Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to him, and all his kindred, threescore and fifteen souls.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	15	So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and our fathers,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	16	And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the sons of Emmor the father of Sychem.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	17	But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	18	Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	19	The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	20	In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months:
The Acts	Acts	44	7	21	And when he was cast out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	22	And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	23	And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	24	And seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and smote the Egyptian:
The Acts	Acts	44	7	25	For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them: but they understood not.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	26	And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at one again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wrong one to another?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	27	But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge over us?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	28	Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	29	Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	30	And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	31	When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the LORD came unto him,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	32	Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	33	Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	34	I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	35	This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	36	He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	37	This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	38	This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:
The Acts	Acts	44	7	39	To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	40	Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	41	And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	42	Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	43	Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	44	Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	45	Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;
The Acts	Acts	44	7	46	Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	47	But Solomon built him an house.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	48	Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	49	Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	50	Hath not my hand made all these things?
The Acts	Acts	44	7	51	Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	52	Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
The Acts	Acts	44	7	53	Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	54	When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	55	But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	56	And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	57	Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
The Acts	Acts	44	7	58	And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	59	And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
The Acts	Acts	44	7	60	And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	1	And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	2	And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	3	As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	4	Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	5	Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	6	And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	7	For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	8	And there was great joy in that city.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	9	But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
The Acts	Acts	44	8	10	To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	11	And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	12	But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	13	Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	14	Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
The Acts	Acts	44	8	15	Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
The Acts	Acts	44	8	16	(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
The Acts	Acts	44	8	17	Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	18	And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
The Acts	Acts	44	8	19	Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	20	But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	21	Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	22	Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	23	For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	24	Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the LORD for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	25	And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	26	And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	27	And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
The Acts	Acts	44	8	28	Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	29	Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	30	And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
The Acts	Acts	44	8	31	And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	32	The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
The Acts	Acts	44	8	33	In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	34	And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
The Acts	Acts	44	8	35	Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	36	And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
The Acts	Acts	44	8	37	And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	38	And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	39	And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
The Acts	Acts	44	8	40	But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	1	And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
The Acts	Acts	44	9	2	And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	3	And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
The Acts	Acts	44	9	4	And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
The Acts	Acts	44	9	5	And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	6	And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	7	And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	8	And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	9	And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	10	And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	11	And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
The Acts	Acts	44	9	12	And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	13	Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
The Acts	Acts	44	9	14	And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	15	But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
The Acts	Acts	44	9	16	For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	17	And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	18	And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	19	And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	20	And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	21	But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?
The Acts	Acts	44	9	22	But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	23	And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
The Acts	Acts	44	9	24	But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	25	Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	26	And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	27	But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	28	And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	29	And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	30	Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	31	Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	32	And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	33	And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	34	And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	35	And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	36	Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	37	And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	38	And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	39	Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	40	But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	41	And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	42	And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	9	43	And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	1	There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band,
The Acts	Acts	44	10	2	A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	3	He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	4	And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	5	And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter:
The Acts	Acts	44	10	6	He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	7	And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually;
The Acts	Acts	44	10	8	And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	9	On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour:
The Acts	Acts	44	10	10	And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,
The Acts	Acts	44	10	11	And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
The Acts	Acts	44	10	12	Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	13	And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	14	But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	15	And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	16	This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	17	Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate,
The Acts	Acts	44	10	18	And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	19	While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	20	Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	21	Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come?
The Acts	Acts	44	10	22	And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	23	Then called he them in, and lodged them. And on the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accompanied him.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	24	And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kinsmen and near friends.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	25	And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	26	But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	27	And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	28	And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	29	Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me?
The Acts	Acts	44	10	30	And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,
The Acts	Acts	44	10	31	And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	32	Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	33	Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	34	Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:
The Acts	Acts	44	10	35	But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	36	The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)
The Acts	Acts	44	10	37	That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached;
The Acts	Acts	44	10	38	How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	39	And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
The Acts	Acts	44	10	40	Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
The Acts	Acts	44	10	41	Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	42	And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	43	To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	44	While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	45	And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	10	46	For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
The Acts	Acts	44	10	47	Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
The Acts	Acts	44	10	48	And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	1	And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	2	And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
The Acts	Acts	44	11	3	Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	4	But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
The Acts	Acts	44	11	5	I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
The Acts	Acts	44	11	6	Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	7	And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	8	But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	9	But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	10	And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	11	And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	12	And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:
The Acts	Acts	44	11	13	And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
The Acts	Acts	44	11	14	Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	15	And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	16	Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	17	Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
The Acts	Acts	44	11	18	When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	19	Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	20	And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the LORD Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	21	And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	22	Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	23	Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	24	For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	25	Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
The Acts	Acts	44	11	26	And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	27	And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	28	And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
The Acts	Acts	44	11	29	Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:
The Acts	Acts	44	11	30	Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	1	Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	2	And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	3	And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
The Acts	Acts	44	12	4	And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	5	Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	6	And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	7	And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	8	And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	9	And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	10	When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	11	And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	12	And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	13	And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	14	And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	15	And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	16	But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	17	But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	18	Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	19	And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	20	And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king's chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king's country.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	21	And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	22	And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	23	And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	24	But the word of God grew and multiplied.
The Acts	Acts	44	12	25	And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	1	Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	2	As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	3	And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	4	So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	5	And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	6	And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
The Acts	Acts	44	13	7	Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	8	But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	9	Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
The Acts	Acts	44	13	10	And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
The Acts	Acts	44	13	11	And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	12	Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	13	Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	14	But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	15	And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	16	Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	17	The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	18	And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	19	And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	20	And after that he gave unto them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	21	And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	22	And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	23	Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
The Acts	Acts	44	13	24	When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	25	And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	26	Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	27	For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	28	And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	29	And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	30	But God raised him from the dead:
The Acts	Acts	44	13	31	And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	32	And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
The Acts	Acts	44	13	33	God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	34	And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	35	Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	36	For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
The Acts	Acts	44	13	37	But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	38	Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
The Acts	Acts	44	13	39	And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	40	Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
The Acts	Acts	44	13	41	Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	42	And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	43	Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	44	And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	45	But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	46	Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	47	For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	48	And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	49	And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	50	But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	51	But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
The Acts	Acts	44	13	52	And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	1	And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	2	But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	3	Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	4	But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	5	And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
The Acts	Acts	44	14	6	They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
The Acts	Acts	44	14	7	And there they preached the gospel.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	8	And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
The Acts	Acts	44	14	9	The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
The Acts	Acts	44	14	10	Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	11	And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	12	And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	13	Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	14	Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
The Acts	Acts	44	14	15	And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
The Acts	Acts	44	14	16	Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	17	Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	18	And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	19	And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	20	Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	21	And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
The Acts	Acts	44	14	22	Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	23	And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	24	And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	25	And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
The Acts	Acts	44	14	26	And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	27	And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	14	28	And there they abode long time with the disciples.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	1	And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	2	When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	3	And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	4	And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	5	But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	6	And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	7	And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	8	And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
The Acts	Acts	44	15	9	And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	10	Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
The Acts	Acts	44	15	11	But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	12	Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	13	And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	14	Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	15	And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
The Acts	Acts	44	15	16	After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	17	That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	18	Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	19	Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	20	But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	21	For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	22	Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	23	And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	24	Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	25	It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
The Acts	Acts	44	15	26	Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	27	We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	28	For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
The Acts	Acts	44	15	29	That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	30	So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
The Acts	Acts	44	15	31	Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	32	And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	33	And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	34	Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	35	Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	36	And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the LORD, and see how they do.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	37	And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	38	But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	39	And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
The Acts	Acts	44	15	40	And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	15	41	And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	1	Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
The Acts	Acts	44	16	2	Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	3	Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	4	And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	5	And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	6	Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
The Acts	Acts	44	16	7	After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	8	And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	9	And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	10	And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	11	Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
The Acts	Acts	44	16	12	And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	13	And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	14	And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	15	And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	16	And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
The Acts	Acts	44	16	17	The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	18	And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	19	And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
The Acts	Acts	44	16	20	And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
The Acts	Acts	44	16	21	And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	22	And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	23	And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
The Acts	Acts	44	16	24	Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	25	And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	26	And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	27	And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	28	But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	29	Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
The Acts	Acts	44	16	30	And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
The Acts	Acts	44	16	31	And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	32	And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	33	And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	34	And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	35	And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	36	And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	37	But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	38	And the serjeants told these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	39	And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
The Acts	Acts	44	16	40	And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	1	Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
The Acts	Acts	44	17	2	And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
The Acts	Acts	44	17	3	Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	4	And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	5	But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	6	And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
The Acts	Acts	44	17	7	Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	8	And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	9	And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	10	And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	11	These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	12	Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	13	But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	14	And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	15	And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	16	Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	17	Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	18	Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	19	And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
The Acts	Acts	44	17	20	For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	21	(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
The Acts	Acts	44	17	22	Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	23	For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	24	God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
The Acts	Acts	44	17	25	Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
The Acts	Acts	44	17	26	And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
The Acts	Acts	44	17	27	That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
The Acts	Acts	44	17	28	For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	29	Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	30	And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
The Acts	Acts	44	17	31	Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	32	And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	33	So Paul departed from among them.
The Acts	Acts	44	17	34	Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	1	After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth;
The Acts	Acts	44	18	2	And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	3	And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	4	And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	5	And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	6	And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	7	And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	8	And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	9	Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace:
The Acts	Acts	44	18	10	For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	11	And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	12	And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrection with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
The Acts	Acts	44	18	13	Saying, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	14	And when Paul was now about to open his mouth, Gallio said unto the Jews, If it were a matter of wrong or wicked lewdness, O ye Jews, reason would that I should bear with you:
The Acts	Acts	44	18	15	But if it be a question of words and names, and of your law, look ye to it; for I will be no judge of such matters.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	16	And he drave them from the judgment seat.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	17	Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the chief ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. And Gallio cared for none of those things.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	18	And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	19	And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	20	When they desired him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not;
The Acts	Acts	44	18	21	But bade them farewell, saying, I must by all means keep this feast that cometh in Jerusalem: but I will return again unto you, if God will. And he sailed from Ephesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	22	And when he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up, and saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	23	And after he had spent some time there, he departed, and went over all the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	24	And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	25	This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	26	And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
The Acts	Acts	44	18	27	And when he was disposed to pass into Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him: who, when he was come, helped them much which had believed through grace:
The Acts	Acts	44	18	28	For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	1	And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
The Acts	Acts	44	19	2	He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	3	And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	4	Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	5	When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	6	And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	7	And all the men were about twelve.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	8	And he went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three months, disputing and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	9	But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	10	And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	11	And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
The Acts	Acts	44	19	12	So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	13	Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	14	And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	15	And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
The Acts	Acts	44	19	16	And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	17	And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	18	And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	19	Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	20	So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	21	After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	22	So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	23	And the same time there arose no small stir about that way.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	24	For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, brought no small gain unto the craftsmen;
The Acts	Acts	44	19	25	Whom he called together with the workmen of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know that by this craft we have our wealth.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	26	Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:
The Acts	Acts	44	19	27	So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	28	And when they heard these sayings, they were full of wrath, and cried out, saying, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	29	And the whole city was filled with confusion: and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	30	And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	31	And certain of the chief of Asia, which were his friends, sent unto him, desiring him that he would not adventure himself into the theatre.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	32	Some therefore cried one thing, and some another: for the assembly was confused; and the more part knew not wherefore they were come together.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	33	And they drew Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beckoned with the hand, and would have made his defence unto the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	34	But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with one voice about the space of two hours cried out, Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	35	And when the townclerk had appeased the people, he said, Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down from Jupiter?
The Acts	Acts	44	19	36	Seeing then that these things cannot be spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	37	For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blasphemers of your goddess.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	38	Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	39	But if ye enquire any thing concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	40	For we are in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no cause whereby we may give an account of this concourse.
The Acts	Acts	44	19	41	And when he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	1	And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	2	And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece,
The Acts	Acts	44	20	3	And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	4	And there accompanied him into Asia Sopater of Berea; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus; and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	5	These going before tarried for us at Troas.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	6	And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	7	And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	8	And there were many lights in the upper chamber, where they were gathered together.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	9	And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	10	And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	11	When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	12	And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	13	And we went before to ship, and sailed unto Assos, there intending to take in Paul: for so had he appointed, minding himself to go afoot.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	14	And when he met with us at Assos, we took him in, and came to Mitylene.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	15	And we sailed thence, and came the next day over against Chios; and the next day we arrived at Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium; and the next day we came to Miletus.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	16	For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hasted, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	17	And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	18	And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
The Acts	Acts	44	20	19	Serving the LORD with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:
The Acts	Acts	44	20	20	And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house,
The Acts	Acts	44	20	21	Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	22	And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there:
The Acts	Acts	44	20	23	Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	24	But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	25	And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	26	Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	27	For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	28	Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	29	For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	30	Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	31	Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	32	And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	33	I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	34	Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	35	I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	36	And when he had thus spoken, he kneeled down, and prayed with them all.
The Acts	Acts	44	20	37	And they all wept sore, and fell on Paul's neck, and kissed him,
The Acts	Acts	44	20	38	Sorrowing most of all for the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him unto the ship.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	1	And it came to pass, that after we were gotten from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course unto Coos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara:
The Acts	Acts	44	21	2	And finding a ship sailing over unto Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	3	Now when we had discovered Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	4	And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	5	And when we had accomplished those days, we departed and went our way; and they all brought us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	6	And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	7	And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	8	And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	9	And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	10	And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	11	And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	12	And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	13	Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	14	And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	15	And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	16	There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	17	And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	18	And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	19	And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	20	And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
The Acts	Acts	44	21	21	And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	22	What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	23	Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
The Acts	Acts	44	21	24	Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	25	As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	26	Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	27	And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
The Acts	Acts	44	21	28	Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	29	(For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
The Acts	Acts	44	21	30	And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	31	And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	32	Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	33	Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	34	And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	35	And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	36	For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	37	And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
The Acts	Acts	44	21	38	Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
The Acts	Acts	44	21	39	But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
The Acts	Acts	44	21	40	And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
The Acts	Acts	44	22	1	Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	2	(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
The Acts	Acts	44	22	3	I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	4	And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	5	As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	6	And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	7	And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
The Acts	Acts	44	22	8	And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	9	And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	10	And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	11	And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	12	And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
The Acts	Acts	44	22	13	Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	14	And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	15	For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	16	And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	17	And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
The Acts	Acts	44	22	18	And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	19	And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
The Acts	Acts	44	22	20	And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	21	And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	22	And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	23	And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
The Acts	Acts	44	22	24	The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	25	And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
The Acts	Acts	44	22	26	When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	27	Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	28	And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	29	Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
The Acts	Acts	44	22	30	On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	1	And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	2	And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to smite him on the mouth.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	3	Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite thee, thou whited wall: for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be smitten contrary to the law?
The Acts	Acts	44	23	4	And they that stood by said, Revilest thou God's high priest?
The Acts	Acts	44	23	5	Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	6	But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	7	And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the multitude was divided.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	8	For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	9	And there arose a great cry: and the scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	10	And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	11	And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	12	And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	13	And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	14	And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	15	Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	16	And when Paul's sister's son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	17	Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	18	So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	19	Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside privately, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me?
The Acts	Acts	44	23	20	And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	21	But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	22	So the chief captain then let the young man depart, and charged him, See thou tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	23	And he called unto him two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;
The Acts	Acts	44	23	24	And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	25	And he wrote a letter after this manner:
The Acts	Acts	44	23	26	Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix sendeth greeting.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	27	This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	28	And when I would have known the cause wherefore they accused him, I brought him forth into their council:
The Acts	Acts	44	23	29	Whom I perceived to be accused of questions of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge worthy of death or of bonds.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	30	And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, I sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what they had against him. Farewell.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	31	Then the soldiers, as it was commanded them, took Paul, and brought him by night to Antipatris.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	32	On the morrow they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the castle:
The Acts	Acts	44	23	33	Who, when they came to Caesarea, and delivered the epistle to the governor, presented Paul also before him.
The Acts	Acts	44	23	34	And when the governor had read the letter, he asked of what province he was. And when he understood that he was of Cilicia;
The Acts	Acts	44	23	35	I will hear thee, said he, when thine accusers are also come. And he commanded him to be kept in Herod's judgment hall.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	1	And after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	2	And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,
The Acts	Acts	44	24	3	We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	4	Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	5	For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:
The Acts	Acts	44	24	6	Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	7	But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,
The Acts	Acts	44	24	8	Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	9	And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	10	Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:
The Acts	Acts	44	24	11	Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	12	And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:
The Acts	Acts	44	24	13	Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	14	But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:
The Acts	Acts	44	24	15	And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	16	And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	17	Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	18	Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	19	Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	20	Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,
The Acts	Acts	44	24	21	Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	22	And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	23	And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	24	And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	25	And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	26	He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.
The Acts	Acts	44	24	27	But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room: and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	1	Now when Festus was come into the province, after three days he ascended from Caesarea to Jerusalem.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	2	Then the high priest and the chief of the Jews informed him against Paul, and besought him,
The Acts	Acts	44	25	3	And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	4	But Festus answered, that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, and that he himself would depart shortly thither.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	5	Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with me, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	6	And when he had tarried among them more than ten days, he went down unto Caesarea; and the next day sitting on the judgment seat commanded Paul to be brought.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	7	And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	8	While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	9	But Festus, willing to do the Jews a pleasure, answered Paul, and said, Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?
The Acts	Acts	44	25	10	Then said Paul, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the Jews have I done no wrong, as thou very well knowest.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	11	For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	12	Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, Hast thou appealed unto Caesar? unto Caesar shalt thou go.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	13	And after certain days king Agrippa and Bernice came unto Caesarea to salute Festus.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	14	And when they had been there many days, Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, saying, There is a certain man left in bonds by Felix:
The Acts	Acts	44	25	15	About whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, desiring to have judgment against him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	16	To whom I answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	17	Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	18	Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed:
The Acts	Acts	44	25	19	But had certain questions against him of their own superstition, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	20	And because I doubted of such manner of questions, I asked him whether he would go to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	21	But when Paul had appealed to be reserved unto the hearing of Augustus, I commanded him to be kept till I might send him to Caesar.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	22	Then Agrippa said unto Festus, I would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	23	And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' commandment Paul was brought forth.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	24	And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	25	But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and that he himself hath appealed to Augustus, I have determined to send him.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	26	Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, after examination had, I might have somewhat to write.
The Acts	Acts	44	25	27	For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes laid against him.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	1	Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and answered for himself:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	2	I think myself happy, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	3	Especially because I know thee to be expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	4	My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews;
The Acts	Acts	44	26	5	Which knew me from the beginning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of our religion I lived a Pharisee.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	6	And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	7	Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	8	Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?
The Acts	Acts	44	26	9	I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	10	Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	11	And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	12	Whereupon as I went to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests,
The Acts	Acts	44	26	13	At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	14	And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	15	And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	16	But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
The Acts	Acts	44	26	17	Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
The Acts	Acts	44	26	18	To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	19	Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	20	But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	21	For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	22	Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	23	That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	24	And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	25	But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	26	For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely: for I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him; for this thing was not done in a corner.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	27	King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	28	Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	29	And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	30	And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them:
The Acts	Acts	44	26	31	And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds.
The Acts	Acts	44	26	32	Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	1	And when it was determined that we should sail into Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	2	And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we launched, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	3	And the next day we touched at Sidon. And Julius courteously entreated Paul, and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh himself.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	4	And when we had launched from thence, we sailed under Cyprus, because the winds were contrary.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	5	And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a city of Lycia.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	6	And there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy; and he put us therein.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	7	And when we had sailed slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Crete, over against Salmone;
The Acts	Acts	44	27	8	And, hardly passing it, came unto a place which is called The fair havens; nigh whereunto was the city of Lasea.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	9	Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul admonished them,
The Acts	Acts	44	27	10	And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the lading and ship, but also of our lives.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	11	Nevertheless the centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more than those things which were spoken by Paul.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	12	And because the haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and lieth toward the south west and north west.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	13	And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by Crete.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	14	But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	15	And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the wind, we let her drive.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	16	And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:
The Acts	Acts	44	27	17	Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	18	And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;
The Acts	Acts	44	27	19	And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	20	And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	21	But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	22	And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	23	For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,
The Acts	Acts	44	27	24	Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	25	Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	26	Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	27	But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they drew near to some country;
The Acts	Acts	44	27	28	And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it fifteen fathoms.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	29	Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	30	And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,
The Acts	Acts	44	27	31	Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	32	Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	33	And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	34	Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	35	And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	36	Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	37	And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	38	And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	39	And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	40	And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	41	And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	42	And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and escape.
The Acts	Acts	44	27	43	But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land:
The Acts	Acts	44	27	44	And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	1	And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	2	And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	3	And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	4	And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	5	And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	6	Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	7	In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days courteously.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	8	And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	9	So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the island, came, and were healed:
The Acts	Acts	44	28	10	Who also honoured us with many honours; and when we departed, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	11	And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	12	And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	13	And from thence we fetched a compass, and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli:
The Acts	Acts	44	28	14	Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	15	And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	16	And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	17	And it came to pass, that after three days Paul called the chief of the Jews together: and when they were come together, he said unto them, Men and brethren, though I have committed nothing against the people, or customs of our fathers, yet was I delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	18	Who, when they had examined me, would have let me go, because there was no cause of death in me.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	19	But when the Jews spake against it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had ought to accuse my nation of.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	20	For this cause therefore have I called for you, to see you, and to speak with you: because that for the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	21	And they said unto him, We neither received letters out of Judaea concerning thee, neither any of the brethren that came shewed or spake any harm of thee.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	22	But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	23	And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	24	And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	25	And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers,
The Acts	Acts	44	28	26	Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive:
The Acts	Acts	44	28	27	For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	28	Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	29	And when he had said these words, the Jews departed, and had great reasoning among themselves.
The Acts	Acts	44	28	30	And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him,
The Acts	Acts	44	28	31	Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him.
Romans	Rom	45	1	1	Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Romans	Rom	45	1	2	(Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Romans	Rom	45	1	3	Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Romans	Rom	45	1	4	And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
Romans	Rom	45	1	5	By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
Romans	Rom	45	1	6	Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
Romans	Rom	45	1	7	To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	1	8	First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Romans	Rom	45	1	9	For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Romans	Rom	45	1	10	Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.
Romans	Rom	45	1	11	For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;
Romans	Rom	45	1	12	That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.
Romans	Rom	45	1	13	Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
Romans	Rom	45	1	14	I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.
Romans	Rom	45	1	15	So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.
Romans	Rom	45	1	16	For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans	Rom	45	1	17	For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Romans	Rom	45	1	18	For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Romans	Rom	45	1	19	Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Romans	Rom	45	1	20	For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans	Rom	45	1	21	Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans	Rom	45	1	22	Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Romans	Rom	45	1	23	And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans	Rom	45	1	24	Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Romans	Rom	45	1	25	Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	1	26	For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Romans	Rom	45	1	27	And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Romans	Rom	45	1	28	And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Romans	Rom	45	1	29	Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans	Rom	45	1	30	Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Romans	Rom	45	1	31	Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Romans	Rom	45	1	32	Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Romans	Rom	45	2	1	Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
Romans	Rom	45	2	2	But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
Romans	Rom	45	2	3	And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
Romans	Rom	45	2	4	Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
Romans	Rom	45	2	5	But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Romans	Rom	45	2	6	Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Romans	Rom	45	2	7	To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
Romans	Rom	45	2	8	But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
Romans	Rom	45	2	9	Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
Romans	Rom	45	2	10	But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
Romans	Rom	45	2	11	For there is no respect of persons with God.
Romans	Rom	45	2	12	For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
Romans	Rom	45	2	13	(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans	Rom	45	2	14	For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Romans	Rom	45	2	15	Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Romans	Rom	45	2	16	In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
Romans	Rom	45	2	17	Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,
Romans	Rom	45	2	18	And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;
Romans	Rom	45	2	19	And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
Romans	Rom	45	2	20	An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Romans	Rom	45	2	21	Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
Romans	Rom	45	2	22	Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
Romans	Rom	45	2	23	Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?
Romans	Rom	45	2	24	For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.
Romans	Rom	45	2	25	For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
Romans	Rom	45	2	26	Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Romans	Rom	45	2	27	And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Romans	Rom	45	2	28	For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
Romans	Rom	45	2	29	But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans	Rom	45	3	1	What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Romans	Rom	45	3	2	Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
Romans	Rom	45	3	3	For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
Romans	Rom	45	3	4	God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Romans	Rom	45	3	5	But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
Romans	Rom	45	3	6	God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
Romans	Rom	45	3	7	For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
Romans	Rom	45	3	8	And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
Romans	Rom	45	3	9	What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
Romans	Rom	45	3	10	As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Romans	Rom	45	3	11	There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Romans	Rom	45	3	12	They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans	Rom	45	3	13	Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Romans	Rom	45	3	14	Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Romans	Rom	45	3	15	Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Romans	Rom	45	3	16	Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Romans	Rom	45	3	17	And the way of peace have they not known:
Romans	Rom	45	3	18	There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans	Rom	45	3	19	Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Romans	Rom	45	3	20	Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Romans	Rom	45	3	21	But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Romans	Rom	45	3	22	Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Romans	Rom	45	3	23	For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans	Rom	45	3	24	Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Romans	Rom	45	3	25	Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans	Rom	45	3	26	To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans	Rom	45	3	27	Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans	Rom	45	3	28	Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans	Rom	45	3	29	Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
Romans	Rom	45	3	30	Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
Romans	Rom	45	3	31	Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans	Rom	45	4	1	What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
Romans	Rom	45	4	2	For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
Romans	Rom	45	4	3	For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	4	4	Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Romans	Rom	45	4	5	But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	4	6	Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
Romans	Rom	45	4	7	Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Romans	Rom	45	4	8	Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Romans	Rom	45	4	9	Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	4	10	How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
Romans	Rom	45	4	11	And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
Romans	Rom	45	4	12	And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Romans	Rom	45	4	13	For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Romans	Rom	45	4	14	For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
Romans	Rom	45	4	15	Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
Romans	Rom	45	4	16	Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Romans	Rom	45	4	17	(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Romans	Rom	45	4	18	Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Romans	Rom	45	4	19	And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb:
Romans	Rom	45	4	20	He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
Romans	Rom	45	4	21	And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Romans	Rom	45	4	22	And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	4	23	Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
Romans	Rom	45	4	24	But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Romans	Rom	45	4	25	Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
Romans	Rom	45	5	1	Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Romans	Rom	45	5	2	By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Romans	Rom	45	5	3	And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;
Romans	Rom	45	5	4	And patience, experience; and experience, hope:
Romans	Rom	45	5	5	And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans	Rom	45	5	6	For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Romans	Rom	45	5	7	For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Romans	Rom	45	5	8	But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans	Rom	45	5	9	Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Romans	Rom	45	5	10	For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
Romans	Rom	45	5	11	And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Romans	Rom	45	5	12	Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Romans	Rom	45	5	13	(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Romans	Rom	45	5	14	Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
Romans	Rom	45	5	15	But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Romans	Rom	45	5	16	And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
Romans	Rom	45	5	17	For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Romans	Rom	45	5	18	Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Romans	Rom	45	5	19	For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Romans	Rom	45	5	20	Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
Romans	Rom	45	5	21	That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	6	1	What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Romans	Rom	45	6	2	God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Romans	Rom	45	6	3	Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Romans	Rom	45	6	4	Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans	Rom	45	6	5	For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Romans	Rom	45	6	6	Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Romans	Rom	45	6	7	For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Romans	Rom	45	6	8	Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
Romans	Rom	45	6	9	Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Romans	Rom	45	6	10	For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Romans	Rom	45	6	11	Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	6	12	Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
Romans	Rom	45	6	13	Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Romans	Rom	45	6	14	For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans	Rom	45	6	15	What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Romans	Rom	45	6	16	Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Romans	Rom	45	6	17	But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
Romans	Rom	45	6	18	Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	6	19	I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Romans	Rom	45	6	20	For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	6	21	What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
Romans	Rom	45	6	22	But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
Romans	Rom	45	6	23	For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	7	1	Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Romans	Rom	45	7	2	For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.
Romans	Rom	45	7	3	So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Romans	Rom	45	7	4	Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Romans	Rom	45	7	5	For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Romans	Rom	45	7	6	But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Romans	Rom	45	7	7	What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Romans	Rom	45	7	8	But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
Romans	Rom	45	7	9	For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Romans	Rom	45	7	10	And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
Romans	Rom	45	7	11	For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Romans	Rom	45	7	12	Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Romans	Rom	45	7	13	Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans	Rom	45	7	14	For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans	Rom	45	7	15	For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Romans	Rom	45	7	16	If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Romans	Rom	45	7	17	Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans	Rom	45	7	18	For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Romans	Rom	45	7	19	For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Romans	Rom	45	7	20	Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans	Rom	45	7	21	I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
Romans	Rom	45	7	22	For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Romans	Rom	45	7	23	But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
Romans	Rom	45	7	24	O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Romans	Rom	45	7	25	I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans	Rom	45	8	1	There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans	Rom	45	8	2	For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
Romans	Rom	45	8	3	For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Romans	Rom	45	8	4	That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans	Rom	45	8	5	For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Romans	Rom	45	8	6	For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans	Rom	45	8	7	Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans	Rom	45	8	8	So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans	Rom	45	8	9	But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Romans	Rom	45	8	10	And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	8	11	But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Romans	Rom	45	8	12	Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Romans	Rom	45	8	13	For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans	Rom	45	8	14	For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Romans	Rom	45	8	15	For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Romans	Rom	45	8	16	The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
Romans	Rom	45	8	17	And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Romans	Rom	45	8	18	For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
Romans	Rom	45	8	19	For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Romans	Rom	45	8	20	For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Romans	Rom	45	8	21	Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
Romans	Rom	45	8	22	For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
Romans	Rom	45	8	23	And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Romans	Rom	45	8	24	For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Romans	Rom	45	8	25	But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.
Romans	Rom	45	8	26	Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans	Rom	45	8	27	And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
Romans	Rom	45	8	28	And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans	Rom	45	8	29	For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans	Rom	45	8	30	Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
Romans	Rom	45	8	31	What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
Romans	Rom	45	8	32	He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Romans	Rom	45	8	33	Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Romans	Rom	45	8	34	Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Romans	Rom	45	8	35	Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Romans	Rom	45	8	36	As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Romans	Rom	45	8	37	Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
Romans	Rom	45	8	38	For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Romans	Rom	45	8	39	Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	9	1	I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,
Romans	Rom	45	9	2	That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Romans	Rom	45	9	3	For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
Romans	Rom	45	9	4	Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
Romans	Rom	45	9	5	Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	9	6	Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
Romans	Rom	45	9	7	Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Romans	Rom	45	9	8	That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Romans	Rom	45	9	9	For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
Romans	Rom	45	9	10	And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
Romans	Rom	45	9	11	(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
Romans	Rom	45	9	12	It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
Romans	Rom	45	9	13	As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Romans	Rom	45	9	14	What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
Romans	Rom	45	9	15	For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
Romans	Rom	45	9	16	So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Romans	Rom	45	9	17	For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Romans	Rom	45	9	18	Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
Romans	Rom	45	9	19	Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
Romans	Rom	45	9	20	Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
Romans	Rom	45	9	21	Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
Romans	Rom	45	9	22	What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
Romans	Rom	45	9	23	And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
Romans	Rom	45	9	24	Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
Romans	Rom	45	9	25	As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
Romans	Rom	45	9	26	And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.
Romans	Rom	45	9	27	Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Romans	Rom	45	9	28	For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Romans	Rom	45	9	29	And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Romans	Rom	45	9	30	What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Romans	Rom	45	9	31	But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Romans	Rom	45	9	32	Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Romans	Rom	45	9	33	As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans	Rom	45	10	1	Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
Romans	Rom	45	10	2	For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans	Rom	45	10	3	For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
Romans	Rom	45	10	4	For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans	Rom	45	10	5	For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Romans	Rom	45	10	6	But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
Romans	Rom	45	10	7	Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
Romans	Rom	45	10	8	But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Romans	Rom	45	10	9	That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans	Rom	45	10	10	For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Romans	Rom	45	10	11	For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Romans	Rom	45	10	12	For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Romans	Rom	45	10	13	For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans	Rom	45	10	14	How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Romans	Rom	45	10	15	And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Romans	Rom	45	10	16	But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Romans	Rom	45	10	17	So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans	Rom	45	10	18	But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
Romans	Rom	45	10	19	But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Romans	Rom	45	10	20	But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Romans	Rom	45	10	21	But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
Romans	Rom	45	11	1	I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Romans	Rom	45	11	2	God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
Romans	Rom	45	11	3	Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
Romans	Rom	45	11	4	But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
Romans	Rom	45	11	5	Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
Romans	Rom	45	11	6	And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans	Rom	45	11	7	What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded.
Romans	Rom	45	11	8	(According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.
Romans	Rom	45	11	9	And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:
Romans	Rom	45	11	10	Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.
Romans	Rom	45	11	11	I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.
Romans	Rom	45	11	12	Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?
Romans	Rom	45	11	13	For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Romans	Rom	45	11	14	If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.
Romans	Rom	45	11	15	For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
Romans	Rom	45	11	16	For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
Romans	Rom	45	11	17	And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Romans	Rom	45	11	18	Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
Romans	Rom	45	11	19	Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
Romans	Rom	45	11	20	Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
Romans	Rom	45	11	21	For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Romans	Rom	45	11	22	Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
Romans	Rom	45	11	23	And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Romans	Rom	45	11	24	For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Romans	Rom	45	11	25	For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Romans	Rom	45	11	26	And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Romans	Rom	45	11	27	For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Romans	Rom	45	11	28	As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Romans	Rom	45	11	29	For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Romans	Rom	45	11	30	For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
Romans	Rom	45	11	31	Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
Romans	Rom	45	11	32	For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Romans	Rom	45	11	33	O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
Romans	Rom	45	11	34	For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
Romans	Rom	45	11	35	Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
Romans	Rom	45	11	36	For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	12	1	I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans	Rom	45	12	2	And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans	Rom	45	12	3	For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Romans	Rom	45	12	4	For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Romans	Rom	45	12	5	So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Romans	Rom	45	12	6	Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Romans	Rom	45	12	7	Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Romans	Rom	45	12	8	Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Romans	Rom	45	12	9	Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Romans	Rom	45	12	10	Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Romans	Rom	45	12	11	Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
Romans	Rom	45	12	12	Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
Romans	Rom	45	12	13	Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Romans	Rom	45	12	14	Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
Romans	Rom	45	12	15	Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
Romans	Rom	45	12	16	Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
Romans	Rom	45	12	17	Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
Romans	Rom	45	12	18	If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
Romans	Rom	45	12	19	Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	12	20	Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Romans	Rom	45	12	21	Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Romans	Rom	45	13	1	Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Romans	Rom	45	13	2	Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
Romans	Rom	45	13	3	For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
Romans	Rom	45	13	4	For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Romans	Rom	45	13	5	Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
Romans	Rom	45	13	6	For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Romans	Rom	45	13	7	Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.
Romans	Rom	45	13	8	Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans	Rom	45	13	9	For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Romans	Rom	45	13	10	Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Romans	Rom	45	13	11	And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
Romans	Rom	45	13	12	The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Romans	Rom	45	13	13	Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
Romans	Rom	45	13	14	But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Romans	Rom	45	14	1	Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.
Romans	Rom	45	14	2	For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.
Romans	Rom	45	14	3	Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.
Romans	Rom	45	14	4	Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.
Romans	Rom	45	14	5	One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
Romans	Rom	45	14	6	He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Romans	Rom	45	14	7	For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
Romans	Rom	45	14	8	For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Romans	Rom	45	14	9	For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.
Romans	Rom	45	14	10	But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	14	11	For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
Romans	Rom	45	14	12	So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
Romans	Rom	45	14	13	Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.
Romans	Rom	45	14	14	I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Romans	Rom	45	14	15	But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
Romans	Rom	45	14	16	Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
Romans	Rom	45	14	17	For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans	Rom	45	14	18	For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
Romans	Rom	45	14	19	Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
Romans	Rom	45	14	20	For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans	Rom	45	14	21	It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Romans	Rom	45	14	22	Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Romans	Rom	45	14	23	And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Romans	Rom	45	15	1	We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
Romans	Rom	45	15	2	Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
Romans	Rom	45	15	3	For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
Romans	Rom	45	15	4	For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Romans	Rom	45	15	5	Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:
Romans	Rom	45	15	6	That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	15	7	Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Romans	Rom	45	15	8	Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:
Romans	Rom	45	15	9	And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name.
Romans	Rom	45	15	10	And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people.
Romans	Rom	45	15	11	And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people.
Romans	Rom	45	15	12	And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Romans	Rom	45	15	13	Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Romans	Rom	45	15	14	And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Romans	Rom	45	15	15	Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God,
Romans	Rom	45	15	16	That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
Romans	Rom	45	15	17	I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things which pertain to God.
Romans	Rom	45	15	18	For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
Romans	Rom	45	15	19	Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	15	20	Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
Romans	Rom	45	15	21	But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.
Romans	Rom	45	15	22	For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.
Romans	Rom	45	15	23	But now having no more place in these parts, and having a great desire these many years to come unto you;
Romans	Rom	45	15	24	Whensoever I take my journey into Spain, I will come to you: for I trust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company.
Romans	Rom	45	15	25	But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
Romans	Rom	45	15	26	For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
Romans	Rom	45	15	27	It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Romans	Rom	45	15	28	When therefore I have performed this, and have sealed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.
Romans	Rom	45	15	29	And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	15	30	Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
Romans	Rom	45	15	31	That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
Romans	Rom	45	15	32	That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed.
Romans	Rom	45	15	33	Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	16	1	I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:
Romans	Rom	45	16	2	That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.
Romans	Rom	45	16	3	Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
Romans	Rom	45	16	4	Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Romans	Rom	45	16	5	Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my well-beloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
Romans	Rom	45	16	6	Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us.
Romans	Rom	45	16	7	Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.
Romans	Rom	45	16	8	Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	16	9	Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved.
Romans	Rom	45	16	10	Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household.
Romans	Rom	45	16	11	Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	16	12	Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	16	13	Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine.
Romans	Rom	45	16	14	Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them.
Romans	Rom	45	16	15	Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
Romans	Rom	45	16	16	Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
Romans	Rom	45	16	17	Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
Romans	Rom	45	16	18	For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Romans	Rom	45	16	19	For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Romans	Rom	45	16	20	And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	16	21	Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you.
Romans	Rom	45	16	22	I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord.
Romans	Rom	45	16	23	Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother.
Romans	Rom	45	16	24	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Romans	Rom	45	16	25	Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Romans	Rom	45	16	26	But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Romans	Rom	45	16	27	To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	1	Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	2	Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	3	Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	4	I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	5	That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	6	Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	7	So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	8	Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	9	God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	10	Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	11	For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	12	Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	13	Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	14	I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	15	Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	16	And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	17	For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	18	For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	19	For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	20	Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	21	For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	22	For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	23	But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	24	But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	25	Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	26	For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	27	But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	28	And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	29	That no flesh should glory in his presence.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	30	But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	1	31	That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	1	And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	2	For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	3	And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	4	And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	5	That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	6	Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	7	But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	8	Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	9	But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	10	But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	11	For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	12	Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	13	Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	14	But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	15	But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	2	16	For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	1	And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	2	I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	3	For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	4	For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	5	Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	6	I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	7	So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	8	Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	9	For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	10	According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	11	For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	12	Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	13	Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	14	If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	15	If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	16	Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	17	If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	18	Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	19	For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	20	And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	21	Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	22	Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	3	23	And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	1	Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	2	Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	3	But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	4	For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	5	Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	6	And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	7	For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	8	Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	9	For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	10	We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	11	Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	12	And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	13	Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	14	I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	15	For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	16	Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	17	For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	18	Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	19	But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	20	For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	4	21	What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	1	It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	2	And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	3	For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	4	In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	5	To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	6	Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	7	Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	8	Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	9	I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	10	Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	11	But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	12	For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	5	13	But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	1	Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	2	Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	3	Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	4	If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	5	I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	6	But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	7	Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	8	Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	9	Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	10	Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	11	And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	12	All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	13	Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	14	And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	15	Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	16	What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	17	But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	18	Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	19	What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	6	20	For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	1	Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	2	Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	3	Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	4	The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	5	Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	6	But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	7	For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	8	I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	9	But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	10	And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	11	But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	12	But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	13	And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	14	For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	15	But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	16	For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	17	But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	18	Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	19	Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	20	Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	21	Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	22	For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	23	Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	24	Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	25	Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	26	I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	27	Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	28	But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	29	But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	30	And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	31	And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	32	But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	33	But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	34	There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	35	And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	36	But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	37	Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	38	So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	39	The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	7	40	But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	1	Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	2	And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	3	But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	4	As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	5	For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	6	But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	7	Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	8	But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	9	But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	10	For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	11	And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	12	But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	8	13	Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	1	Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	2	If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	3	Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	4	Have we not power to eat and to drink?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	5	Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	6	Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	7	Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	8	Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	9	For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	10	Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	11	If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	12	If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	13	Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	14	Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	15	But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	16	For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	17	For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	18	What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	19	For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	20	And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	21	To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	22	To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	23	And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	24	Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	25	And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	26	I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	9	27	But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	1	Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	2	And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	3	And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	4	And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	5	But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	6	Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	7	Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	8	Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	9	Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	10	Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	11	Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	12	Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	13	There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	14	Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	15	I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	16	The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	17	For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	18	Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	19	What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	20	But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	21	Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	22	Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	23	All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	24	Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	25	Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	26	For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	27	If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	28	But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	29	Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	30	For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	31	Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	32	Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	10	33	Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	1	Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	2	Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	3	But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	4	Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	5	But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	6	For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	7	For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	8	For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	9	Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	10	For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	11	Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	12	For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	13	Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	14	Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	15	But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	16	But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	17	Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	18	For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	19	For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	20	When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	21	For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	22	What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	23	For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	24	And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	25	After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	26	For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	27	Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	28	But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	29	For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	30	For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	31	For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	32	But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	33	Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	11	34	And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	1	Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	2	Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	3	Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	4	Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	5	And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	6	And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	7	But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	8	For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	9	To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	10	To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	11	But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	12	For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	13	For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	14	For the body is not one member, but many.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	15	If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	16	And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	17	If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	18	But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	19	And if they were all one member, where were the body?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	20	But now are they many members, yet but one body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	21	And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	22	Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	23	And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	24	For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	25	That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	26	And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	27	Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	28	And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	29	Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	30	Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	12	31	But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	1	Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	2	And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	3	And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	4	Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	5	Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	6	Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	7	Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	8	Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	9	For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	10	But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	11	When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	12	For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	13	13	And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	1	Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	2	For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	3	But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	4	He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	5	I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	6	Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	7	And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	8	For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	9	So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	10	There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	11	Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	12	Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	13	Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	14	For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	15	What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	16	Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	17	For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	18	I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	19	Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	20	Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	21	In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the LORD.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	22	Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	23	If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	24	But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	25	And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	26	How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	27	If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	28	But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	29	Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	30	If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	31	For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	32	And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	33	For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	34	Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	35	And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	36	What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	37	If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	38	But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	39	Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	14	40	Let all things be done decently and in order.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	1	Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	2	By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	3	For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	4	And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	5	And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	6	After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	7	After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	8	And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	9	For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	10	But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	11	Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	12	Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	13	But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	14	And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	15	Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	16	For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	17	And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	18	Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	19	If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	20	But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	21	For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	22	For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	23	But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	24	Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	25	For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	26	The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	27	For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	28	And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	29	Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	30	And why stand we in jeopardy every hour?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	31	I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our LORD, I die daily.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	32	If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	33	Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	34	Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	35	But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	36	Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	37	And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	38	But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	39	All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	40	There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	41	There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	42	So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	43	It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	44	It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	45	And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	46	Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	47	The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	48	As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	49	And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	50	Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	51	Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	52	In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	53	For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	54	So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	55	O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	56	The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	57	But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	15	58	Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	1	Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	2	Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	3	And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	4	And if it be meet that I go also, they shall go with me.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	5	Now I will come unto you, when I shall pass through Macedonia: for I do pass through Macedonia.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	6	And it may be that I will abide, yea, and winter with you, that ye may bring me on my journey whithersoever I go.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	7	For I will not see you now by the way; but I trust to tarry a while with you, if the Lord permit.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	8	But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	9	For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	10	Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	11	Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	12	As touching our brother Apollos, I greatly desired him to come unto you with the brethren: but his will was not at all to come at this time; but he will come when he shall have convenient time.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	13	Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	14	Let all your things be done with charity.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	15	I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	16	That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	17	I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	18	For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge ye them that are such.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	19	The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	20	All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	21	The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	22	If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	23	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
1 Corinthians	1Cor	46	16	24	My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all Achaia:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	2	Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	3	Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	4	Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	5	For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	6	And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	7	And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	8	For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	9	But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	10	Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	11	Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	12	For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	13	For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	14	As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	15	And in this confidence I was minded to come unto you before, that ye might have a second benefit;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	16	And to pass by you into Macedonia, and to come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you to be brought on my way toward Judaea.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	17	When I therefore was thus minded, did I use lightness? or the things that I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, that with me there should be yea yea, and nay nay?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	18	But as God is true, our word toward you was not yea and nay.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	19	For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	20	For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	21	Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	22	Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	23	Moreover I call God for a record upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	1	24	Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	1	But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	2	For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	3	And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	4	For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	5	But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	6	Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	7	So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	8	Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	9	For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	10	To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	11	Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	12	Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	13	I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	14	Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	15	For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	16	To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	2	17	For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	1	Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	2	Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	3	Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	4	And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	5	Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	6	Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	7	But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	8	How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	9	For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	10	For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	11	For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	12	Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	13	And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	14	But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	15	But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	16	Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	17	Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	3	18	But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the LORD.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	1	Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	2	But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	3	But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	4	In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	5	For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	6	For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	7	But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	8	We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	9	Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	10	Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	11	For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	12	So then death worketh in us, but life in you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	13	We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	14	Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	15	For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	16	For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	17	For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	4	18	While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	1	For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	2	For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	3	If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	4	For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	5	Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	6	Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	7	(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	8	We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	9	Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	10	For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	11	Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	12	For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	13	For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	14	For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	15	And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	16	Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	17	Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	18	And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	19	To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	20	Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	5	21	For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	1	We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	2	(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	3	Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	4	But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	5	In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	6	By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	7	By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	8	By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	9	As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	10	As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	11	O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	12	Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	13	Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	14	Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	15	And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	16	And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	17	Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	6	18	And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	1	Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	2	Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	3	I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	4	Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	5	For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	6	Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	7	And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	8	For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	9	Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	10	For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	11	For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	12	Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	13	Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	14	For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	15	And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	7	16	I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	1	Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	2	How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	3	For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	4	Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	5	And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	6	Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	7	Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	8	I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	9	For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	10	And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	11	Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	12	For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	13	For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	14	But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	15	As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	16	But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	17	For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	18	And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	19	And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	20	Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	21	Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	22	And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	23	Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	8	24	Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	1	For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	2	For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	3	Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	4	Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	5	Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	6	But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	7	Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	8	And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	9	(As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	10	Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	11	Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	12	For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	13	Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	14	And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	9	15	Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	1	Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	2	But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	3	For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	4	(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	5	Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	6	And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	7	Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	8	For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	9	That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	10	For his letters, say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	11	Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed when we are present.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	12	For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	13	But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	14	For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	15	Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	16	To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	17	But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	10	18	For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	1	Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	2	For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	3	But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	4	For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	5	For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	6	But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	7	Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	8	I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	9	And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	10	As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	11	Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	12	But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	13	For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	14	And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	15	Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	16	I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	17	That which I speak, I speak it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	18	Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	19	For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	20	For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	21	I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	22	Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	23	Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	24	Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	25	Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	26	In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	27	In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	28	Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	29	Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	30	If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	31	The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	32	In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	11	33	And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	1	It is not expedient for me doubtless to glory. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	2	I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	3	And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	4	How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	5	Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	6	For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	7	And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	8	For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	9	And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	10	Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	11	I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	12	Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	13	For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	14	Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	15	And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	16	But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	17	Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	18	I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	19	Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	20	For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	12	21	And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	1	This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	2	I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	3	Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	4	For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	5	Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	6	But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	7	Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	8	For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	9	For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	10	Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	11	Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	12	Greet one another with an holy kiss.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	13	All the saints salute you.
2 Corinthians	2Cor	47	13	14	The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	1	Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
Galatians	Gal	48	1	2	And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	3	Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
Galatians	Gal	48	1	4	Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	5	To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	6	I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	7	Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	8	But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	9	As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	10	For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	11	But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	12	For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	13	For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	14	And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	15	But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Galatians	Gal	48	1	16	To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	17	Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	18	Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	19	But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	20	Now the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	21	Afterwards I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
Galatians	Gal	48	1	22	And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
Galatians	Gal	48	1	23	But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.
Galatians	Gal	48	1	24	And they glorified God in me.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	1	Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	2	And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	3	But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised:
Galatians	Gal	48	2	4	And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Galatians	Gal	48	2	5	To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	6	But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
Galatians	Gal	48	2	7	But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Galatians	Gal	48	2	8	(For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
Galatians	Gal	48	2	9	And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	10	Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	11	But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	12	For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	13	And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	14	But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Galatians	Gal	48	2	15	We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Galatians	Gal	48	2	16	Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	17	But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	18	For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	19	For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	20	I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Galatians	Gal	48	2	21	I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	1	O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
Galatians	Gal	48	3	2	This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians	Gal	48	3	3	Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
Galatians	Gal	48	3	4	Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	5	He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Galatians	Gal	48	3	6	Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	7	Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	8	And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	9	So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	10	For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	11	But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	12	And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	13	Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
Galatians	Gal	48	3	14	That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	15	Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	16	Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	17	And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	18	For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	19	Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	20	Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	21	Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	22	But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	23	But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	24	Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	25	But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	26	For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	27	For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	28	There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians	Gal	48	3	29	And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	1	Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
Galatians	Gal	48	4	2	But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	3	Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians	Gal	48	4	4	But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
Galatians	Gal	48	4	5	To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	6	And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	7	Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	8	Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by nature are no gods.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	9	But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Galatians	Gal	48	4	10	Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	11	I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	12	Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am; for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	13	Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	14	And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	15	Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	16	Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
Galatians	Gal	48	4	17	They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	18	But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	19	My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Galatians	Gal	48	4	20	I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	21	Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
Galatians	Gal	48	4	22	For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	23	But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	24	Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	25	For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	26	But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	27	For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	28	Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	29	But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	30	Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
Galatians	Gal	48	4	31	So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	1	Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	2	Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	3	For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	4	Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	5	For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	6	For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	7	Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?
Galatians	Gal	48	5	8	This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	9	A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	10	I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	11	And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	12	I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	13	For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	14	For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	15	But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	16	This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	17	For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	18	But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	19	Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Galatians	Gal	48	5	20	Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Galatians	Gal	48	5	21	Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	22	But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians	Gal	48	5	23	Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	24	And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	25	If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Galatians	Gal	48	5	26	Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	1	Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	2	Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	3	For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	4	But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	5	For every man shall bear his own burden.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	6	Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	7	Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	8	For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	9	And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	10	As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	11	Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	12	As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	13	For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	14	But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	15	For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	16	And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	17	From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Galatians	Gal	48	6	18	Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	2	Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	4	According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	5	Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	6	To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	7	In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	8	Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	9	Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	10	That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	11	In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	12	That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	13	In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	14	Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	15	Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	16	Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	17	That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	18	The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	19	And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	20	Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	21	Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	22	And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Ephesians	Eph	49	1	23	Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	1	And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	2	Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	3	Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	4	But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	5	Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	6	And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	7	That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	8	For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	9	Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	10	For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	11	Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	12	That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	13	But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	14	For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	15	Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	16	And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	17	And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	18	For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	19	Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	20	And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	21	In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Ephesians	Eph	49	2	22	In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	1	For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	2	If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	3	How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	4	Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	5	Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	6	That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	7	Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	8	Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	9	And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	10	To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	11	According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	12	In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	13	Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	14	For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	15	Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	16	That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	17	That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	18	May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	19	And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	20	Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Ephesians	Eph	49	3	21	Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	1	I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	2	With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	3	Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	4	There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	5	One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	6	One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	7	But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	8	Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	9	(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	10	He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	11	And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	12	For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	13	Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	14	That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	15	But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	16	From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	17	This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	18	Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	19	Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	20	But ye have not so learned Christ;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	21	If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	22	That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	23	And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	24	And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	25	Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	26	Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	27	Neither give place to the devil.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	28	Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	29	Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	30	And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	31	Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians	Eph	49	4	32	And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	1	Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	2	And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	3	But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	4	Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	5	For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	6	Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	7	Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	8	For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	9	(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	10	Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	11	And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	12	For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	13	But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	14	Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	15	See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	16	Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	17	Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	18	And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	19	Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	20	Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	21	Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	22	Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	23	For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	24	Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	25	Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	26	That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	27	That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	28	So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	29	For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	30	For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	31	For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	32	This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Ephesians	Eph	49	5	33	Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	1	Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	2	Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	3	That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	4	And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	5	Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	6	Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	7	With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	8	Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	9	And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	10	Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	11	Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	12	For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	13	Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	14	Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	15	And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	16	Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	17	And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	18	Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	19	And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	20	For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	21	But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	22	Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	23	Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians	Eph	49	6	24	Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	1	Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
Philippians	Phi	50	1	2	Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	3	I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,
Philippians	Phi	50	1	4	Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
Philippians	Phi	50	1	5	For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	6	Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
Philippians	Phi	50	1	7	Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	8	For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	9	And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	10	That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	11	Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	12	But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	13	So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	14	And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	15	Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
Philippians	Phi	50	1	16	The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
Philippians	Phi	50	1	17	But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	18	What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	19	For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
Philippians	Phi	50	1	20	According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	21	For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	22	But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	23	For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Philippians	Phi	50	1	24	Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	25	And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	26	That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	27	Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	28	And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
Philippians	Phi	50	1	29	For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
Philippians	Phi	50	1	30	Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	1	If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies,
Philippians	Phi	50	2	2	Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	3	Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	4	Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	5	Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	6	Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	7	But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	8	And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	9	Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	10	That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Philippians	Phi	50	2	11	And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	12	Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	13	For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	14	Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	15	That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
Philippians	Phi	50	2	16	Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	17	Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	18	For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	19	But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	20	For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	21	For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	22	But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	23	Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	24	But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	25	Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, and companion in labour, and fellowsoldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	26	For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	27	For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	28	I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful.
Philippians	Phi	50	2	29	Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation:
Philippians	Phi	50	2	30	Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	1	Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	2	Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	3	For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	4	Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
Philippians	Phi	50	3	5	Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;
Philippians	Phi	50	3	6	Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	7	But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	8	Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Philippians	Phi	50	3	9	And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Philippians	Phi	50	3	10	That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Philippians	Phi	50	3	11	If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	12	Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	13	Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Philippians	Phi	50	3	14	I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	15	Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	16	Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	17	Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
Philippians	Phi	50	3	18	(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
Philippians	Phi	50	3	19	Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
Philippians	Phi	50	3	20	For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Philippians	Phi	50	3	21	Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	1	Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	2	I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	3	And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	4	Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	5	Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	6	Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	7	And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	8	Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	9	Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	10	But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	11	Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	12	I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	13	I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	14	Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	15	Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	16	For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	17	Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	18	But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	19	But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	20	Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	21	Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	22	All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar's household.
Philippians	Phi	50	4	23	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Colossians	Col	51	1	1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,
Colossians	Col	51	1	2	To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Colossians	Col	51	1	3	We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
Colossians	Col	51	1	4	Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,
Colossians	Col	51	1	5	For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Colossians	Col	51	1	6	Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:
Colossians	Col	51	1	7	As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;
Colossians	Col	51	1	8	Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.
Colossians	Col	51	1	9	For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
Colossians	Col	51	1	10	That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians	Col	51	1	11	Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Colossians	Col	51	1	12	Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
Colossians	Col	51	1	13	Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
Colossians	Col	51	1	14	In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Colossians	Col	51	1	15	Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Colossians	Col	51	1	16	For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Colossians	Col	51	1	17	And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians	Col	51	1	18	And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Colossians	Col	51	1	19	For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
Colossians	Col	51	1	20	And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
Colossians	Col	51	1	21	And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
Colossians	Col	51	1	22	In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
Colossians	Col	51	1	23	If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
Colossians	Col	51	1	24	Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
Colossians	Col	51	1	25	Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
Colossians	Col	51	1	26	Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
Colossians	Col	51	1	27	To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Colossians	Col	51	1	28	Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
Colossians	Col	51	1	29	Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Colossians	Col	51	2	1	For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh;
Colossians	Col	51	2	2	That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
Colossians	Col	51	2	3	In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Colossians	Col	51	2	4	And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
Colossians	Col	51	2	5	For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
Colossians	Col	51	2	6	As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
Colossians	Col	51	2	7	Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
Colossians	Col	51	2	8	Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Colossians	Col	51	2	9	For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians	Col	51	2	10	And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Colossians	Col	51	2	11	In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Colossians	Col	51	2	12	Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
Colossians	Col	51	2	13	And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
Colossians	Col	51	2	14	Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Colossians	Col	51	2	15	And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Colossians	Col	51	2	16	Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Colossians	Col	51	2	17	Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Colossians	Col	51	2	18	Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Colossians	Col	51	2	19	And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Colossians	Col	51	2	20	Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
Colossians	Col	51	2	21	(Touch not; taste not; handle not;
Colossians	Col	51	2	22	Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
Colossians	Col	51	2	23	Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Colossians	Col	51	3	1	If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Colossians	Col	51	3	2	Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians	Col	51	3	3	For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
Colossians	Col	51	3	4	When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
Colossians	Col	51	3	5	Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Colossians	Col	51	3	6	For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
Colossians	Col	51	3	7	In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
Colossians	Col	51	3	8	But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Colossians	Col	51	3	9	Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Colossians	Col	51	3	10	And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Colossians	Col	51	3	11	Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Colossians	Col	51	3	12	Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Colossians	Col	51	3	13	Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Colossians	Col	51	3	14	And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Colossians	Col	51	3	15	And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Colossians	Col	51	3	16	Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians	Col	51	3	17	And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Colossians	Col	51	3	18	Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
Colossians	Col	51	3	19	Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
Colossians	Col	51	3	20	Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Colossians	Col	51	3	21	Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
Colossians	Col	51	3	22	Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
Colossians	Col	51	3	23	And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Colossians	Col	51	3	24	Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
Colossians	Col	51	3	25	But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Colossians	Col	51	4	1	Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
Colossians	Col	51	4	2	Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
Colossians	Col	51	4	3	Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Colossians	Col	51	4	4	That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
Colossians	Col	51	4	5	Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
Colossians	Col	51	4	6	Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Colossians	Col	51	4	7	All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord:
Colossians	Col	51	4	8	Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
Colossians	Col	51	4	9	With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are done here.
Colossians	Col	51	4	10	Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
Colossians	Col	51	4	11	And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
Colossians	Col	51	4	12	Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Colossians	Col	51	4	13	For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
Colossians	Col	51	4	14	Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Colossians	Col	51	4	15	Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
Colossians	Col	51	4	16	And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea.
Colossians	Col	51	4	17	And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
Colossians	Col	51	4	18	The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	1	Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	2	We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	3	Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	4	Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	5	For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	6	And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	7	So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	8	For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	9	For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	1	10	And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	1	For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	2	But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	3	For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	4	But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	5	For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	6	Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	7	But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	8	So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	9	For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	10	Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	11	As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children,
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	12	That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	13	For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	14	For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	15	Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	16	Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	17	But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	18	Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	19	For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	2	20	For ye are our glory and joy.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	1	Wherefore when we could no longer forbear, we thought it good to be left at Athens alone;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	2	And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister of God, and our fellowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	3	That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	4	For verily, when we were with you, we told you before that we should suffer tribulation; even as it came to pass, and ye know.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	5	For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	6	But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, and that ye have good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	7	Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	8	For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	9	For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	10	Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	11	Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	12	And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	3	13	To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	1	Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	2	For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	3	For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	4	That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	5	Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	6	That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	7	For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	8	He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	9	But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	10	And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	11	And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	12	That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	13	But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	14	For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	15	For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	16	For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	17	Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	4	18	Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	1	But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	2	For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	3	For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	4	But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	5	Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	6	Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	7	For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	8	But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	9	For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	10	Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	11	Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	12	And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	13	And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	14	Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	15	See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	16	Rejoice evermore.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	17	Pray without ceasing.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	18	In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	19	Quench not the Spirit.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	20	Despise not prophesyings.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	21	Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	22	Abstain from all appearance of evil.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	23	And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	24	Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	25	Brethren, pray for us.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	26	Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	27	I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
1 Thessalonians	1Th	52	5	28	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	1	Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	2	Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	3	We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	4	So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	5	Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	6	Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	7	And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	8	In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	9	Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	10	When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	11	Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	1	12	That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	1	Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	2	That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	3	Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	4	Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	5	Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	6	And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	7	For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	8	And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	9	Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	10	And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	11	And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	12	That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	13	But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	14	Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	15	Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	16	Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	2	17	Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	1	Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	2	And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	3	But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	4	And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	5	And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	6	Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	7	For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	8	Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	9	Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	10	For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	11	For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	12	Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	13	But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	14	And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	15	Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	16	Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	17	The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is the token in every epistle: so I write.
2 Thessalonians	2Th	53	3	18	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	2	Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	3	As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	4	Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	5	Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	6	From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	7	Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	8	But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	9	Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	10	For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	11	According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	12	And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	13	Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	14	And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	15	This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	16	Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	17	Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	18	This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	19	Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	1	20	Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	1	I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	2	For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	3	For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	4	Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	5	For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	6	Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	7	Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	8	I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	9	In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	10	But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	11	Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	12	But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	13	For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	14	And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	2	15	Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	1	This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	2	A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	3	Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	4	One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	5	(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	6	Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	7	Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	8	Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	9	Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	10	And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	11	Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	12	Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	13	For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	14	These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	15	But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	3	16	And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	1	Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	2	Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	3	Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	4	For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	5	For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	6	If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	7	But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	8	For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	9	This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	10	For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	11	These things command and teach.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	12	Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	13	Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	14	Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	15	Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	4	16	Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	1	Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	2	The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	3	Honour widows that are widows indeed.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	4	But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	5	Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	6	But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	7	And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	8	But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	9	Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man,
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	10	Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	11	But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	12	Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	13	And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	14	I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	15	For some are already turned aside after Satan.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	16	If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	17	Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	18	For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	19	Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	20	Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	21	I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	22	Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	23	Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	24	Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	5	25	Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	1	Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	2	And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	3	If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	4	He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	5	Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	6	But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	7	For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	8	And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	9	But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	10	For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	11	But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	12	Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	13	I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	14	That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	15	Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	16	Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	17	Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	18	That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	19	Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	20	O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
1 Timothy	1Tim	54	6	21	Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	1	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	2	To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	3	I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	4	Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	5	When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	6	Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	7	For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	8	Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	9	Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	10	But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	11	Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	12	For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	13	Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	14	That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	15	This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	16	The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	17	But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	1	18	The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	1	Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	2	And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	3	Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	4	No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	5	And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	6	The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	7	Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	8	Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	9	Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	10	Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	11	It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	12	If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	13	If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	14	Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	15	Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	16	But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	17	And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	18	Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	19	Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	20	But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	21	If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	22	Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	23	But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	24	And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	25	In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	2	26	And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	1	This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	2	For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	3	Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	4	Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	5	Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	6	For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	7	Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	8	Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	9	But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	10	But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	11	Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	12	Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	13	But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	14	But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	15	And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	16	All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	3	17	That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	1	I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	2	Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	3	For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	4	And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	5	But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	6	For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	7	I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	8	Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	9	Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	10	For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	11	Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	12	And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	13	The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	14	Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	15	Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	16	At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	17	Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	18	And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	19	Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	20	Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	21	Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
2 Timothy	2Tim	55	4	22	The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
Titus	Titus	56	1	1	Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
Titus	Titus	56	1	2	In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Titus	Titus	56	1	3	But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
Titus	Titus	56	1	4	To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Titus	Titus	56	1	5	For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
Titus	Titus	56	1	6	If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
Titus	Titus	56	1	7	For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
Titus	Titus	56	1	8	But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Titus	Titus	56	1	9	Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Titus	Titus	56	1	10	For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Titus	Titus	56	1	11	Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
Titus	Titus	56	1	12	One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
Titus	Titus	56	1	13	This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus	Titus	56	1	14	Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Titus	Titus	56	1	15	Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Titus	Titus	56	1	16	They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Titus	Titus	56	2	1	But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
Titus	Titus	56	2	2	That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
Titus	Titus	56	2	3	The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
Titus	Titus	56	2	4	That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
Titus	Titus	56	2	5	To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Titus	Titus	56	2	6	Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
Titus	Titus	56	2	7	In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
Titus	Titus	56	2	8	Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Titus	Titus	56	2	9	Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
Titus	Titus	56	2	10	Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Titus	Titus	56	2	11	For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus	Titus	56	2	12	Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Titus	Titus	56	2	13	Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
Titus	Titus	56	2	14	Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
Titus	Titus	56	2	15	These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Titus	Titus	56	3	1	Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
Titus	Titus	56	3	2	To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
Titus	Titus	56	3	3	For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
Titus	Titus	56	3	4	But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Titus	Titus	56	3	5	Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Titus	Titus	56	3	6	Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Titus	Titus	56	3	7	That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Titus	Titus	56	3	8	This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
Titus	Titus	56	3	9	But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus	Titus	56	3	10	A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
Titus	Titus	56	3	11	Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Titus	Titus	56	3	12	When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
Titus	Titus	56	3	13	Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
Titus	Titus	56	3	14	And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
Titus	Titus	56	3	15	All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	1	Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy our brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved, and fellowlabourer,
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	2	And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our fellowsoldier, and to the church in thy house:
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	3	Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	4	I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers,
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	5	Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	6	That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	7	For we have great joy and consolation in thy love, because the bowels of the saints are refreshed by thee, brother.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	8	Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	9	Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	10	I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	11	Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	12	Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	13	Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the gospel:
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	14	But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	15	For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	16	Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	17	If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	18	If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	19	I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	20	Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowels in the Lord.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	21	Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	22	But withal prepare me also a lodging: for I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	23	There salute thee Epaphras, my fellowprisoner in Christ Jesus;
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	24	Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.
Philemon	Phmn	57	1	25	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	1	God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	2	Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	3	Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	4	Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	5	For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	6	And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	7	And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	8	But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	9	Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	10	And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	11	They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	12	And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	13	But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Hebrews	Heb	58	1	14	Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	1	Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	2	For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	3	How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	4	God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	5	For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	6	But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	7	Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	8	Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	9	But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	10	For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	11	For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	12	Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	13	And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	14	Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	15	And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	16	For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	17	Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews	Heb	58	2	18	For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	1	Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	2	Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	3	For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	4	For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	5	And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	6	But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	7	Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	8	Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	9	When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	10	Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	11	So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	12	Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	13	But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	14	For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	15	While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	16	For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	17	But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	18	And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Hebrews	Heb	58	3	19	So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	1	Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	2	For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	3	For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	4	For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	5	And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	6	Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	7	Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	8	For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	9	There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	10	For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	11	Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	12	For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	13	Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	14	Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	15	For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews	Heb	58	4	16	Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	1	For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	2	Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	3	And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	4	And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	5	So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	6	As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	7	Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	8	Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	9	And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	10	Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	11	Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	12	For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	13	For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Hebrews	Heb	58	5	14	But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	1	Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	2	Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	3	And this will we do, if God permit.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	4	For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	5	And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	6	If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	7	For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	8	But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	9	But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	10	For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	11	And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	12	That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	13	For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	14	Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	15	And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	16	For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	17	Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	18	That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	19	Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
Hebrews	Heb	58	6	20	Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	1	For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	2	To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	3	Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	4	Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	5	And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	6	But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	7	And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	8	And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	9	And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	10	For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	11	If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	12	For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	13	For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	14	For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	15	And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	16	Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	17	For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	18	For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	19	For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	20	And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	21	(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	22	By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	23	And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	24	But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	25	Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	26	For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	27	Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews	Heb	58	7	28	For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	1	Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	2	A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	3	For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	4	For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	5	Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	6	But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	7	For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	8	For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	9	Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	10	For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	11	And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	12	For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews	Heb	58	8	13	In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	1	Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	2	For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	3	And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	4	Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	5	And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	6	Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	7	But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	8	The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	9	Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	10	Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	11	But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	12	Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	13	For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	14	How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	15	And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	16	For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	17	For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	18	Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	19	For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	20	Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	21	Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	22	And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	23	It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	24	For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	25	Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	26	For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	27	And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Hebrews	Heb	58	9	28	So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	1	For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	2	For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	3	But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	4	For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	5	Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	6	In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	7	Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	8	Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	9	Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	10	By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	11	And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	12	But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	13	From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	14	For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	15	Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	16	This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	17	And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	18	Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	19	Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	20	By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	21	And having an high priest over the house of God;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	22	Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	23	Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	24	And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	25	Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	26	For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	27	But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	28	He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	29	Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	30	For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	31	It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	32	But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	33	Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	34	For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	35	Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	36	For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	37	For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	38	Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Hebrews	Heb	58	10	39	But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	1	Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	2	For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	3	Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	4	By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	5	By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	6	But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	7	By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	8	By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	9	By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	10	For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	11	Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	12	Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	13	These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	14	For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	15	And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	16	But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	17	By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	18	Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	19	Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	20	By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	21	By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	22	By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	23	By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	24	By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter;
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	25	Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	26	Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	27	By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	28	Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	29	By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	30	By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	31	By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	32	And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	33	Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	34	Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	35	Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	36	And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	37	They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	38	(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	39	And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
Hebrews	Heb	58	11	40	God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	1	Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	2	Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	3	For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	4	Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	5	And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	6	For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	7	If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	8	But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	9	Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	10	For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	11	Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	12	Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	13	And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	14	Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	15	Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	16	Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	17	For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	18	For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	19	And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	20	(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	21	And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	22	But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	23	To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	24	And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	25	See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	26	Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	27	And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	28	Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
Hebrews	Heb	58	12	29	For our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	1	Let brotherly love continue.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	2	Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	3	Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	4	Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	5	Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	6	So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	7	Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	8	Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	9	Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	10	We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	11	For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	12	Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	13	Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	14	For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	15	By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	16	But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	17	Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	18	Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	19	But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	20	Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	21	Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	22	And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	23	Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	24	Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.
Hebrews	Heb	58	13	25	Grace be with you all. Amen.
James	Jas	59	1	1	James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
James	Jas	59	1	2	My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
James	Jas	59	1	3	Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
James	Jas	59	1	4	But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
James	Jas	59	1	5	If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James	Jas	59	1	6	But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
James	Jas	59	1	7	For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
James	Jas	59	1	8	A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James	Jas	59	1	9	Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:
James	Jas	59	1	10	But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.
James	Jas	59	1	11	For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.
James	Jas	59	1	12	Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James	Jas	59	1	13	Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
James	Jas	59	1	14	But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
James	Jas	59	1	15	Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James	Jas	59	1	16	Do not err, my beloved brethren.
James	Jas	59	1	17	Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
James	Jas	59	1	18	Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
James	Jas	59	1	19	Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
James	Jas	59	1	20	For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
James	Jas	59	1	21	Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
James	Jas	59	1	22	But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James	Jas	59	1	23	For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James	Jas	59	1	24	For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
James	Jas	59	1	25	But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
James	Jas	59	1	26	If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
James	Jas	59	1	27	Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
James	Jas	59	2	1	My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
James	Jas	59	2	2	For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
James	Jas	59	2	3	And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
James	Jas	59	2	4	Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
James	Jas	59	2	5	Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?
James	Jas	59	2	6	But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?
James	Jas	59	2	7	Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?
James	Jas	59	2	8	If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
James	Jas	59	2	9	But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
James	Jas	59	2	10	For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
James	Jas	59	2	11	For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
James	Jas	59	2	12	So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
James	Jas	59	2	13	For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
James	Jas	59	2	14	What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James	Jas	59	2	15	If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
James	Jas	59	2	16	And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?
James	Jas	59	2	17	Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
James	Jas	59	2	18	Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
James	Jas	59	2	19	Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James	Jas	59	2	20	But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?
James	Jas	59	2	21	Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?
James	Jas	59	2	22	Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
James	Jas	59	2	23	And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
James	Jas	59	2	24	Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James	Jas	59	2	25	Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
James	Jas	59	2	26	For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James	Jas	59	3	1	My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
James	Jas	59	3	2	For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
James	Jas	59	3	3	Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
James	Jas	59	3	4	Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
James	Jas	59	3	5	Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
James	Jas	59	3	6	And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
James	Jas	59	3	7	For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
James	Jas	59	3	8	But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
James	Jas	59	3	9	Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
James	Jas	59	3	10	Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
James	Jas	59	3	11	Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
James	Jas	59	3	12	Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
James	Jas	59	3	13	Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
James	Jas	59	3	14	But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
James	Jas	59	3	15	This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
James	Jas	59	3	16	For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
James	Jas	59	3	17	But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James	Jas	59	3	18	And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
James	Jas	59	4	1	From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
James	Jas	59	4	2	Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
James	Jas	59	4	3	Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
James	Jas	59	4	4	Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
James	Jas	59	4	5	Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
James	Jas	59	4	6	But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
James	Jas	59	4	7	Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James	Jas	59	4	8	Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
James	Jas	59	4	9	Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
James	Jas	59	4	10	Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
James	Jas	59	4	11	Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
James	Jas	59	4	12	There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
James	Jas	59	4	13	Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
James	Jas	59	4	14	Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
James	Jas	59	4	15	For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
James	Jas	59	4	16	But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
James	Jas	59	4	17	Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
James	Jas	59	5	1	Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
James	Jas	59	5	2	Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
James	Jas	59	5	3	Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
James	Jas	59	5	4	Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
James	Jas	59	5	5	Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
James	Jas	59	5	6	Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
James	Jas	59	5	7	Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
James	Jas	59	5	8	Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
James	Jas	59	5	9	Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
James	Jas	59	5	10	Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
James	Jas	59	5	11	Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
James	Jas	59	5	12	But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
James	Jas	59	5	13	Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
James	Jas	59	5	14	Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
James	Jas	59	5	15	And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James	Jas	59	5	16	Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
James	Jas	59	5	17	Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
James	Jas	59	5	18	And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
James	Jas	59	5	19	Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
James	Jas	59	5	20	Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	1	Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	2	Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	3	Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	4	To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	5	Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	6	Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	7	That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	8	Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	9	Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	10	Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	11	Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	12	Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	13	Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	14	As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	15	But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	16	Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	17	And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	18	Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	19	But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	20	Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	21	Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	22	Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	23	Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	24	For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	1	25	But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	1	Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	2	As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	3	If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	4	To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	5	Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	6	Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	7	Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	8	And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	9	But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	10	Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	11	Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	12	Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	13	Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	14	Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	15	For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	16	As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	17	Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	18	Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	19	For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	20	For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	21	For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	22	Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	23	Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	24	Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	2	25	For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	1	Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	2	While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	3	Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	4	But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	5	For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	6	Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	7	Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	8	Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	9	Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	10	For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	11	Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	12	For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	13	And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	14	But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	15	But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	16	Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	17	For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	18	For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	19	By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	20	Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	21	The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	3	22	Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	1	Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	2	That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	3	For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	4	Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	5	Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	6	For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	7	But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	8	And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	9	Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	10	As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	11	If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	12	Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	13	But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	14	If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	15	But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	16	Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	17	For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	18	And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
1 Peter	1Pet	60	4	19	Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	1	The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	2	Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	3	Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	4	And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	5	Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	6	Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	7	Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	8	Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	9	Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	10	But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	11	To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	12	By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting, and testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	13	The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
1 Peter	1Pet	60	5	14	Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	1	Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	2	Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	3	According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	4	Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	5	And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	6	And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	7	And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	8	For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	9	But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	10	Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	11	For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	12	Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	13	Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	14	Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	15	Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	16	For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	17	For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	18	And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	19	We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	20	Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	1	21	For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	1	But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	2	And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	3	And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	4	For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	5	And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	6	And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	7	And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	8	(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	9	The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	10	But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	11	Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	12	But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	13	And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	14	Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	15	Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	16	But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	17	These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	18	For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	19	While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	20	For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	21	For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	2	22	But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	1	This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	2	That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	3	Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	4	And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	5	For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	6	Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	7	But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	8	But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	9	The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	10	But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	11	Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	12	Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	13	Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	14	Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	15	And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	16	As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	17	Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2 Peter	2Pet	61	3	18	But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	1	That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1 John	1Jn	62	1	2	(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
1 John	1Jn	62	1	3	That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	4	And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	5	This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	6	If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
1 John	1Jn	62	1	7	But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	8	If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	9	If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John	1Jn	62	1	10	If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	1	My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
1 John	1Jn	62	2	2	And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	3	And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	4	He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	5	But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	6	He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	7	Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	8	Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	9	He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	10	He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	11	But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	12	I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	13	I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	14	I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	15	Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	16	For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	17	And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	18	Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	19	They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	20	But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	21	I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	22	Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	23	Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	24	Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	25	And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	26	These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	27	But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	28	And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
1 John	1Jn	62	2	29	If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	1	Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	2	Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	3	And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	4	Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	5	And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	6	Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	7	Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	8	He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	9	Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	10	In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	11	For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	12	Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	13	Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	14	We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	15	Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	16	Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	17	But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1 John	1Jn	62	3	18	My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	19	And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	20	For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	21	Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	22	And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	23	And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1 John	1Jn	62	3	24	And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	1	Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	2	Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1 John	1Jn	62	4	3	And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	4	Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	5	They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	6	We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	7	Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	8	He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	9	In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	10	Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	11	Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	12	No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	13	Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	14	And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	15	Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	16	And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	17	Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	18	There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	19	We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John	1Jn	62	4	20	If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
1 John	1Jn	62	4	21	And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	1	Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	2	By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	3	For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	4	For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	5	Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
1 John	1Jn	62	5	6	This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	7	For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	8	And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	9	If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	10	He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	11	And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	12	He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	13	These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	14	And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
1 John	1Jn	62	5	15	And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	16	If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	17	All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	18	We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	19	And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	20	And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
1 John	1Jn	62	5	21	Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	1	The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth;
2 John	2Jn	63	1	2	For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	3	Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	4	I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	5	And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	6	And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	7	For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	8	Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	9	Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	10	If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
2 John	2Jn	63	1	11	For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	12	Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
2 John	2Jn	63	1	13	The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	1	The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the truth.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	2	Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	3	For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	4	I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	5	Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
3 John	3Jn	64	1	6	Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well:
3 John	3Jn	64	1	7	Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	8	We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	9	I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	10	Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	11	Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	12	Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record; and ye know that our record is true.
3 John	3Jn	64	1	13	I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee:
3 John	3Jn	64	1	14	But I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends salute thee. Greet the friends by name.
Jude	Jude	65	1	1	Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Jude	Jude	65	1	2	Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Jude	Jude	65	1	3	Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Jude	Jude	65	1	4	For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jude	Jude	65	1	5	I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
Jude	Jude	65	1	6	And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Jude	Jude	65	1	7	Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Jude	Jude	65	1	8	Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
Jude	Jude	65	1	9	Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Jude	Jude	65	1	10	But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Jude	Jude	65	1	11	Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
Jude	Jude	65	1	12	These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Jude	Jude	65	1	13	Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
Jude	Jude	65	1	14	And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jude	Jude	65	1	15	To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Jude	Jude	65	1	16	These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
Jude	Jude	65	1	17	But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jude	Jude	65	1	18	How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jude	Jude	65	1	19	These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Jude	Jude	65	1	20	But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jude	Jude	65	1	21	Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
Jude	Jude	65	1	22	And of some have compassion, making a difference:
Jude	Jude	65	1	23	And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Jude	Jude	65	1	24	Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
Jude	Jude	65	1	25	To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	1	The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Revelation	Rev	66	1	2	Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	3	Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	4	John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Revelation	Rev	66	1	5	And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Revelation	Rev	66	1	6	And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	7	Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	8	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	9	I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	10	I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation	Rev	66	1	11	Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	12	And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation	Rev	66	1	13	And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	14	His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Revelation	Rev	66	1	15	And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	16	And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	17	And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation	Rev	66	1	18	I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
Revelation	Rev	66	1	19	Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
Revelation	Rev	66	1	20	The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	1	Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation	Rev	66	2	2	I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Revelation	Rev	66	2	3	And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	4	Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	5	Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	6	But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	7	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	8	And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
Revelation	Rev	66	2	9	I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	10	Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	11	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	12	And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
Revelation	Rev	66	2	13	I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	14	But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	15	So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	16	Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	17	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	18	And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;
Revelation	Rev	66	2	19	I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	20	Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	21	And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	22	Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	23	And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	24	But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	25	But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	26	And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Revelation	Rev	66	2	27	And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	28	And I will give him the morning star.
Revelation	Rev	66	2	29	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	1	And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	2	Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	3	Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	4	Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	5	He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	6	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	7	And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
Revelation	Rev	66	3	8	I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	9	Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	10	Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	11	Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	12	Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	13	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	14	And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Revelation	Rev	66	3	15	I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	16	So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	17	Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Revelation	Rev	66	3	18	I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	19	As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	20	Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	21	To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Revelation	Rev	66	3	22	He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	1	After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	2	And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	3	And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	4	And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	5	And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	6	And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	7	And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	8	And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
Revelation	Rev	66	4	9	And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
Revelation	Rev	66	4	10	The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Revelation	Rev	66	4	11	Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	1	And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	2	And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Revelation	Rev	66	5	3	And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	4	And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	5	And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	6	And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	7	And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	8	And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	9	And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Revelation	Rev	66	5	10	And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	11	And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Revelation	Rev	66	5	12	Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	13	And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	5	14	And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	1	And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	2	And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	3	And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	4	And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	5	And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	6	And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	7	And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	8	And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	9	And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
Revelation	Rev	66	6	10	And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
Revelation	Rev	66	6	11	And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	12	And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
Revelation	Rev	66	6	13	And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	14	And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Revelation	Rev	66	6	15	And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Revelation	Rev	66	6	16	And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
Revelation	Rev	66	6	17	For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Revelation	Rev	66	7	1	And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	2	And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
Revelation	Rev	66	7	3	Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	4	And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	5	Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	6	Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nephthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	7	Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	8	Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	9	After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
Revelation	Rev	66	7	10	And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	11	And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation	Rev	66	7	12	Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	13	And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
Revelation	Rev	66	7	14	And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	15	Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	16	They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
Revelation	Rev	66	7	17	For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	1	And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	2	And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	3	And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	4	And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	5	And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	6	And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	7	The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	8	And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Revelation	Rev	66	8	9	And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	10	And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
Revelation	Rev	66	8	11	And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	12	And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
Revelation	Rev	66	8	13	And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation	Rev	66	9	1	And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	2	And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	3	And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	4	And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	5	And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	6	And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	7	And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	8	And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	9	And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	10	And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	11	And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	12	One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	13	And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
Revelation	Rev	66	9	14	Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	15	And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	16	And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	17	And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	18	By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	19	For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt.
Revelation	Rev	66	9	20	And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Revelation	Rev	66	9	21	Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	1	And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:
Revelation	Rev	66	10	2	And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,
Revelation	Rev	66	10	3	And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	4	And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered, and write them not.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	5	And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Revelation	Rev	66	10	6	And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
Revelation	Rev	66	10	7	But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	8	And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	9	And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	10	And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
Revelation	Rev	66	10	11	And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	1	And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	2	But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	3	And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	4	These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	5	And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	6	These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	7	And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	8	And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	9	And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	10	And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	11	And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	12	And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	13	And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	14	The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	15	And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	16	And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,
Revelation	Rev	66	11	17	Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	18	And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	11	19	And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	1	And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Revelation	Rev	66	12	2	And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	3	And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	4	And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	5	And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	6	And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	7	And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
Revelation	Rev	66	12	8	And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	9	And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	10	And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	11	And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	12	Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	13	And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	14	And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	15	And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	16	And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
Revelation	Rev	66	12	17	And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	1	And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	2	And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	3	And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	4	And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
Revelation	Rev	66	13	5	And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	6	And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	7	And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	8	And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	9	If any man have an ear, let him hear.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	10	He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	11	And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	12	And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	13	And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
Revelation	Rev	66	13	14	And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	15	And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	16	And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Revelation	Rev	66	13	17	And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation	Rev	66	13	18	Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	1	And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	2	And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
Revelation	Rev	66	14	3	And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	4	These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	5	And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	6	And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
Revelation	Rev	66	14	7	Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	8	And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	9	And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Revelation	Rev	66	14	10	The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Revelation	Rev	66	14	11	And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	12	Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	13	And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	14	And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	15	And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	16	And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	17	And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	18	And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	19	And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	14	20	And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	1	And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	2	And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	3	And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	4	Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	5	And after that I looked, and, behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened:
Revelation	Rev	66	15	6	And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	7	And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	15	8	And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	1	And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	2	And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	3	And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	4	And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	5	And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	6	For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	7	And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	8	And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	9	And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	10	And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
Revelation	Rev	66	16	11	And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	12	And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	13	And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	14	For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	15	Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	16	And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	17	And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	18	And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	19	And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	20	And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
Revelation	Rev	66	16	21	And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	1	And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
Revelation	Rev	66	17	2	With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	3	So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	4	And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Revelation	Rev	66	17	5	And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	6	And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	7	And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	8	The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	9	And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	10	And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	11	And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	12	And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	13	These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	14	These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	15	And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	16	And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	17	For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Revelation	Rev	66	17	18	And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	1	And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	2	And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	3	For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	4	And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	5	For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	6	Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	7	How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	8	Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	9	And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Revelation	Rev	66	18	10	Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	11	And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Revelation	Rev	66	18	12	The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Revelation	Rev	66	18	13	And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	14	And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	15	The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
Revelation	Rev	66	18	16	And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
Revelation	Rev	66	18	17	For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
Revelation	Rev	66	18	18	And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
Revelation	Rev	66	18	19	And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	20	Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	21	And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	22	And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
Revelation	Rev	66	18	23	And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
Revelation	Rev	66	18	24	And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	1	And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
Revelation	Rev	66	19	2	For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	3	And again they said, Alleluia.  And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	4	And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	5	And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	6	And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	7	Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	8	And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	9	And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	10	And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	11	And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	12	His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	13	And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	14	And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	15	And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	16	And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	17	And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
Revelation	Rev	66	19	18	That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	19	And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	20	And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation	Rev	66	19	21	And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	1	And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	2	And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation	Rev	66	20	3	And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	4	And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	5	But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	6	Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	7	And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Revelation	Rev	66	20	8	And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	9	And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	10	And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	11	And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	12	And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	13	And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	14	And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation	Rev	66	20	15	And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	1	And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	2	And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	3	And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	4	And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	5	And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	6	And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	7	He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	8	But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	9	And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	10	And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation	Rev	66	21	11	Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Revelation	Rev	66	21	12	And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Revelation	Rev	66	21	13	On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	14	And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	15	And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	16	And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	17	And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	18	And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	19	And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Revelation	Rev	66	21	20	The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	21	And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	22	And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	23	And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	24	And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	25	And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	26	And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
Revelation	Rev	66	21	27	And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	1	And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	2	In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	3	And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Revelation	Rev	66	22	4	And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	5	And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	6	And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	7	Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	8	And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	9	Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	10	And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	11	He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	12	And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	13	I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	14	Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	15	For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	16	I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	17	And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	18	For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Revelation	Rev	66	22	19	And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	20	He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Revelation	Rev	66	22	21	The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
